Abstract Aberrant topological organization of whole-brain networks has been inconsistently reported in studies patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), reflecting limited sample sizes. To address this issue, we utilized a big data MDD from the REST-meta-MDD Project, including 821 and 765 normal controls (NCs) 16 sites. Using Dosenbach 160 node atlas, examined functional extracted features (e.g., global local efficiency, nodal degree) using graph theory-based methods. Linear...
Significance Why is polyploidization rarer in animals than plants? This question remains unanswered due to the absence of a suitable system for studying instantaneous and crucial changes that immediately follow hybridization. RNA-seq analyses discover extensive chimeric genes immediate mutations orthologs both diploid tetraploid offspring goldfish (♀) × common carp (♂) hybrids. Overall, show paternal-biased expression, yet tetraploids maternal-biased expression. Some differentially expressed...
Rumination is a repetitive self-referential thinking style that often interpreted as an expression of abnormalities the default mode network (DMN) observed during "resting-state" in major depressive disorder (MDD). Recent evidence has demonstrated DMN not unitary but can be further divided into 3 functionally heterogenous subsystems, although subsystem mechanistically underlying rumination remains unclear. Due to unconstrained and indirect correlational nature previous resting-state fMRI...
A highly sensitive and selective near-infrared excited potassium nanosensor has been developed for brain activity monitoring.
Abstract Despite a growing neuroimaging literature on the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD), reproducible findings are lacking, probably reflecting mostly small sample sizes and heterogeneity in analytic approaches. To address these issues, Depression Imaging REsearch ConsorTium (DIRECT) was launched. The REST-meta-MDD project, pooling 2428 functional brain images processed with standardized pipeline across all participating sites, has been first effort from DIRECT. In this...

Abstract We present a high‐quality genome assembly for the Asiatic toad ( Bufo gargarizans ) and explore evolution of several large gene families in amphibians. With size 4.55 Gb, chromosome‐scale includes 747 scaffolds with an N50 539.8 Mb 1.79% gaps. Long terminal repeats (LTRs) constitute high proportion their expansion is key contributor to inflated this species. This very different from other small amphibian genomes, but similar that enormous axolotl genome. The retains number...
Abstract The Cephalopoda are a group of highly diverse marine species in the phylum Mollusca, which distributed worldwide. They have evolved some vertebrate‐like biological traits and exhibit complicated behavioural repertoires. Thus, they interesting for studying mechanisms evolutionary convergence, innovational functional structures adaptation to active, predatory lifestyle environments. Despite placement significance cephalopods, genomic data on these organisms remain limited. Here, we...
Abstract In the animal kingdom, sexually dimorphic color variation is a widespread phenomenon that significantly influences survival and reproductive success. However, genetic underpinnings of this remain inadequately understood. Our investigation into in desert-dwelling Guinan population toad-headed agamid lizard (Phrynocephalus putjatai) utilized multidisciplinary approach, encompassing phenotypic, ultrastructural, biochemical, genomic analyses, behavioral experiments. findings unveil...
Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai. 'Whangkeumbae' belongs to sand pear fruit with excellent nutritional quality and taste. However, the industrial development of is significantly limited by its short shelf life. Salicylic acid (SA), a well-known phytohormone, can delay senescence improve Meanwhile, how SA regulates CONSTANS-LIKE genes (COLs) during role COL in mediating are poorly understood. In this study, 22 were identified pear, including 4 COLs (PpCOL8, PpCOL9a, PpCOL9b, PpCOL14) via transcriptome...
ABSTRACT Drought is a major threat to wheat production. Utilising microbial inoculant technology enhance crop drought resistance achieve high yield has emerged as promising strategy. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) can improve plant resistance; however, there little research on the DSE preparation. In this study, two dominant strains, Alternaria alstroemeriae ( Aa ) and Paraphoma chrysanthemicola Pc were screened through inoculation experiment of under stress. Finally, optimal embedding...
Abstract Orogenesis of topographically diverse montane regions often drives complex evolutionary histories species. The extensive biodiversity the eastern edge Tibetan Plateau, which gradually decreases eastwardly, facilitates a comparison historical patterns. We use coalescence methods to compare species stream salamanders ( Batrachuperus ) that occur at high and low elevations. Coalescent simulations reveal closely related are likely have been influenced by different drivers...
Aroma is central to the worldwide success of truffles as gourmet food and high prices paid for these edible mushrooms. In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from fruiting bodies two Chinese commercial relevance, Tuber indicum pseudohimalayense, were analyzed using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We aimed characterize aroma profile determine whether it would be influenced by provenance stage maturation. thus...
Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress factor adversely affecting plant growth and productivity. Plant-microbe symbiotic associations have evolved regulatory mechanisms to adapt environmental conditions. However, the interactive effects of different fungi on host tolerance under drought conditions remain unclear.
The phylogenetic position of turtles within the vertebrate tree life remains controversial. Conflicting conclusions from different studies are likely a consequence systematic error in construction process, rather than random small amounts data. Using genomic data, we evaluate with both conventional concatenated data analysis and "genes as characters" approach. Two datasets were constructed, one seven species (human, opossum, zebra finch, chicken, green anole, Chinese pond turtle, western...
Because visual genes likely evolved in response to their ambient photic environment, the dichotomy between closely related nocturnal moths and diurnal butterflies forms an ideal basis for investigating evolution. To investigate whether of are associated with dim-light environments or not, we cloned long-wavelength (R), blue (B) ultraviolet (UV) opsin from 12 species wild-captured examined evolutionary functions. Strong purifying selection appeared constrain functions genes. Dark-treatment...
