Genome-scale evolution in local populations of wild chimpanzees.

Analysis of genome-scale evolution has been difficult in large, endangered animals because opportunities to collect high-quality genetic samples are limited. There is a need for novel field-friendly, cost-effective genetic techniques. This study conducted an exome-wide analysis of a total of 42 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) across six African regions, providing insights into population discrimination techniques.

Errate: A Retrospective Study of 290 Patients with Resectable Benign and Malignant Gastric Neoplasms to Compare Postoperative Outcomes of Endoscopic Resection with and without the Internal Traction Method Using a Spring-and-Loop with Clip (S-O Clip).

The authors have identified an error in Table 5 concerning the dissection speed. It is currently listed as follows: S-O group 14.5±9.

Genome assembly of Genji firefly (Nipponoluciola cruciata) reveals novel luciferase-like luminescent proteins without peroxisome targeting signal.

The Genji firefly, Nipponoluciola cruciata, is an aquatic firefly endemic to Japan, inhabiting a wide area of the Japanese archipelago. The luminescence of fireflies is a scientifically interesting phenomenon, and many studies have evaluated this species in Japan. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of male N.

Optimal plastic recycling system and technology development could accelerate decarbonization: A case study from Japan.

This study provided a geographic and technical matching approach supporting low-carbon style recycling systems, demonstrated using polyvinyl chloride waste (PVCW) generated in 2018 in Mie Prefecture, Japan. From a carbon dioxide (CO) emission basis, mechanical/material recycling (MR) and energy recovery facilities were all allocated full capacity; however, parts of chemical recycling facilities were excluded in the optimal solutions. From the spatial distribution of the allocated result, we confirmed a trend that to achieve the minimum total emissions, the matchings from pretreatment to recycling facilities were done based on a nearby priority rule.
