Characterization of microsatellite markers in the coding regions of the Penaeus vannamei genome.

In this study, an extensive analysis of microsatellite markers (Single Tandem Repeats-STRs) in Penaeus vannamei was conducted at an advanced level. The markers were thoroughly examined, characterized, and specific markers located within coding regions were identified. Out of a total of 306 STRs, 117 were classified as perfect markers based on their single repeat motif.

Main topics in assisted reproductive market: A scoping review.

Background: Infertility affects around 12% of couples, and this proportion has been gradually increasing. In this context, the global assisted reproductive technologies (ART) market shows significant expansion, hovering around USD 26 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 45 billion by 2025.

Objectives: We realized a scoping review of the ART market from academic publications, market reports, and specialized media news, to identify the main terms and characterize them into the main topics in the area.

Human seminal virome: a panel based on recent literature.

Background: The seminal virome and its implications for fertility remain poorly understood. To date, there are no defined panels for the detection of viruses of clinical interest in seminal samples.

Results: In this study, we characterized the human seminal virome based on more than 1,000 studies published over the last five years.

The role of HPV-induced epigenetic changes in cervical carcinogenesis (Review).

Cervical cancer is associated with infection by certain types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs), and this affects women worldwide. Despite the improvements in prevention and cure of HPV-induced cervical cancer, it remains the second most common type of cancer in women in the least developed regions of the world. Epigenetic modifications are stable long-term changes that occur in the DNA, and are part of a natural evolutionary process of necessary adaptations to the environment.
