Article Synopsis
- People with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have a near 100% chance of developing cancer due to a mutation in the TP53 gene and undergo regular cancer screening.
- A new liquid biopsy test combining various sequencing techniques was tested on 89 LFS patients, showing improved cancer detection rates compared to traditional methods.
- This integrated testing approach demonstrated earlier detection of cancer signals, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in patient care, although further validation is needed before widespread use.
Background: Here we present a revised species checklist for the Brassicaceae, updated from Warwick SI, Francis, A, Al-Shehbaz IA (2006), Brassicaceae: Species checklist and database on CD-ROM, Plant Systematics and Evolution 259: 249─25. This update of the checklist was initiated, based on recent taxonomic and molecular studies on the Brassicaceae that have resulted in new species names, combinations and associated synonyms.
New Information: New data have been added indicating tribal affiliations within the family and where type specimens have been designated.
Hybridization between crops and their wild relatives has the potential to introduce novel variation into wild populations. Camelina () is a promising oilseed and cultivars with modified seed characteristics and herbicide resistance are in development, prompting a need to evaluate the potential for novel trait introgression into weedy relatives. Little-podded false flax (littlepod) is a naturalized weed in Canada and the USA.
