Abstract:
... RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification process, the chloroplast genes of which are involved in the process of chloroplast development in plant. However, the RNA editing sites of chloroplast genes remains unknown. In this study, we identified 39 RNA editing sites in 18 chloroplast genes from chloroplast genome of C. sinensis. Furthermore, the feature, structures and specificity of RNA e ...

Abstract:
... Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal parasite of anatid and snail-eating birds. In Eurasia, it is also common in lymnaeid snails, which may serve as the first and second intermediate hosts. The systematics of its genus, Echinoparyphium, have long been inadequate, with poor descriptions and extensive synonymy. To provide a basis for developing new genetic markers f ...

Abstract:
... Invertase inhibitor (InvInh) represses acid invertase (AI) activity though interacting with AI at post-translation level, which plays important roles in vegetative and reproductive processes and stress responses of plant. Our previous studies revealed that CsAI genes were involved in regulating cold response of tea plant, while the post-translation regulation mechanism of AI and the roles of InvIn ...
... Genomic selection has the potential to increase the rate of genetic gain in aquaculture breeding programs by enabling selection between and within families without phenotyping selection candidates. Due to the wide range of environments in which oysters are cultured, an industry-wide approach of multiple regional breeding programs has been suggested for Crassostrea sp. This necessitates genotyping ...

However, genotype-dependent accumulation patterns of carotenoids in banana remain largely unclear. Here, we performed a systematic metabolomic investigation of 18 banana cultivars of the AAA, AAB, or ABB genome groups. Our results indicate that the levels of soluble sug ...

Abstract:
... In this paper we present a suggestion for a sustainability assessment framework using genome editing of salmon as a case study. The salmon farming industry is facing several challenges hindering sustainable production. Genome editing has entered as a tool that can improve selective breeding and feed ingredients in aquaculture, hence providing solutions such as resistance to salmon lice and other p ...
... Yellow cultivars of Flammulina filiformis are prone to browning, which causes significant yearly loss. This study investigated the critical factors involved and revealed that oxygen plays an essential role in the browning process. Integrated multi-omic analyses, including genome sequencing, transcriptome profiling, and 4D label-free proteome quantification, were incorporated to dissect essential g ...

Abstract:
... Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables cost-effective exploration of genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This new technology has made enormous contributions in various fields including genetic improvement. This study was conducted to identify SNPs that associated with growth traits (body weight, standard length, and total length) of bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus Günther, ...
... Variant benchmarking is often performed by comparing a test callset to a gold standard set of variants. In repetitive regions of the genome, it may be difficult to establish what is the truth for a call, for example, when different alignment scoring metrics provide equally supported but different variant calls on the same data. Here, we provide an alternative approach, TT-Mars, that takes advantag ...
