The cynomolgus and Chinese rhesus macaques are used as animal models in biomedical research. Yan et al. sequence their genomes compare the sequences to that of Indian macaque, providing a genetic foundation for interpreting research results. nonhuman primates most commonly medical from genus Macaca1. To better understand differences between these models, we present high-quality draft genome two macaque species, cynomolgus/crab-eating macaque. Comparison with previously sequenced reveals all...
Abstract The development and innovation of next generation sequencing (NGS) the subsequent analysis tools have gain popularity in scientific researches clinical diagnostic applications. Hence, a systematic comparison platforms variant calling pipelines could provide significant guidance to NGS-based genomics. In this study, we compared performance, concordance operating efficiency 27 combinations pipelines, testing three pipelines—Genome Analysis Tool Kit HaplotypeCaller, Strelka2...
The anode-free design is a promising strategy to increase the energy density of aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs). However, scarcity Zn-rich cathodes and rapid loss limited greatly hinder their commercial applications. To address these issues, novel Zn-iodine battery (AFZIB) was designed via simple, low-cost scalable approach. Iodine plays bifunctional roles in improving AFZIB overall performance: enabling high-performance cathode modulating deposition behavior. On side, ZnI2 serves as...

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity have become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Recent studies focused on identifying causal variations or candidate genes for T2DM via analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) within a single tissue. are affected by comprehensive sets multiple tissues. In the current study, gene levels human tissues from GEO datasets were analyzed, 21 displaying high percentages differential filtered out. Specifically, DENND1B, LYN, MRPL30, POC1B,...
To further reveal the phylogenetic evolution and molecular characteristics of whole genome severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) based on a large number genomes provide basis for prevention treatment SARS-CoV-2.Various analysis methods were employed.The estimated ratio rates non-synonymous to synonymous changes (Ka/Ks) SARS-CoV-2 was 1.008 or 1.094 622 3624 nine key specific sites high linkage, four major haplotypes found: H1, H2, H3 H4. The results Ka/Ks, detected...
The scarcity of lithium resources and the unsafety organic electrolytes limit further application lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles grid-scale energy storage. Aqueous zinc-ion (AZIBs) are potential complements for LIBs large-scale grid storage because their abundant resources, environmental friendliness, intrinsic safety low cost. However, current AZIBs mainly based on intercalation-type cathodes densities not competitive with LIBs. Fortunately, conversion-type cathodes,...
Accumulating evidences demonstrated that microRNA-target gene pairs were closely related to tumorigenesis and development. However, the correlation between miRNA target was insufficiently understood, especially its changes tumor normal tissues.
ABSTRACT The pathogenicity of cholestatic liver diseases (CLDs) remains insufficiently characterized, hindering definitive diagnosis and timely treatment. aim this study was to improve the prediction novel bile acid (BA) transporter variants in patients with CLDs. We analyzed clinical characteristics genetic profiles a CLD cohort ( n = 57) using multiple silico tools vitro functional assays. identified 78 unique four BA genes. predominant defects were associated ABCC2 (57/78, 73.1%), most...
Background Increasing evidence indicates a robust correlation between epilepsy and variants of the Kv7.2 ( KCNQ2 ) channel, which is critically involved in directing M-currents regulating neuronal excitability within nervous system. With advancement next-generation sequencing, identification has surged. Nonetheless, their functional impacts are still being determined, introducing uncertainty into diagnostic process for affected families potentially hindering ability to participate targeted...
Within-host evolution plays a critical role in shaping the diversity of SARS-CoV-2. However, understanding primary factors contributing to prevalence intra-host single nucleotide variants (iSNVs) viral population remains elusive. Here, we conducted comprehensive analysis over 556,000 SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data and different S protein amino acid mutations elucidate key influencing iSNVs gene. revealed presence mutational hotspots within gene, mainly located NTD, RBD, TM, CT domains....
Abstract Objective Ephrin type‐B receptor 1 (EphB1) is a tyrosine kinase involved in axon guidance, synaptic plasticity, and tumorigenesis. However, the role of EphB1 metabolic regulation obesity remains poorly understood. This study aims to uncover energy metabolism provide insights into underlying mechanisms by which regulates obesity. Methods Two Ephb1 mutations identified from forward genetic screen for obesity‐related loci mice were examined their effects gene expression, metabolism,...
Non-human primates have emerged as an important resource for the study of human disease and evolution. The characterization genomic variation between within non-human primate species could advance development genetically defined models. However, specific reagents that would expedite such research, exon-capture tools, are lacking. We evaluated efficiency using a exome capture design selective enrichment exonic regions primates. compared exon sequence recovery in nine chimpanzees, two...
Abstract Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women worldwide, is associated with high mortality. The long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) a little capacity of coding proteins playing an increasingly important role paradigm. Accumulating evidences demonstrate that lncRNAs have crucial connections breast prognosis while studies are still its primary stage. In this study, we collected 1052 clinical patient samples, comparatively large sample size, including 13 159 lncRNA expression profiles...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent disease that happens around the world and usually with insulin resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represented important roles in suppression of gene expression were proven to be related human diseases.
