Article Synopsis
  • * Traditional methods for studying DNA methylation are invasive, so this study explores using buccal (cheek) cells as a less invasive alternative to collect biomarkers related to stunting.
  • * Using adaptive sampling from Oxford Nanopore Technology, researchers found that stunted children had lower levels of 5-methylcytosine and identified specific gene loci on chromosome 21 that are differentially methylated and previously unassociated with stunting.

Purpose/objectives: Admission into dental school involves selecting applicants for successful completion of the course. This study aimed to predict the academic performance of Kulliyyah of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia pre-clinical dental students based on admission results using artificial intelligence machine learning (ML) models, and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC).

Methods: ML algorithms logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) models were applied.

The hemibiotrophic Basidiomycete pathogen Ganoderma boninense (Gb) is the dominant causal agent of oil palm basal stem rot disease. Here, we report a complete chromosomal genome map of Gb using a combination of short-read Illumina and long-read Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) sequencing platforms combined with chromatin conformation capture data from the Chicago and Hi-C platforms. The genome was 55.

Transcription control through cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is one of important regulators of gene expression. This study aimed to identify the location of CREs in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) using the combination of DNA free energy and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density approaches.

Background: Plant microRNA, often known as miRNA, is a novel form of gene expression regulator that is known to play a significant role in phosphate starvation. The identification of microRNAs involved in the response to phosphate starvation in oil palms is beneficial for breeding programs.

Method: The main nursery stage seedlings of two oil palm progenies were treated with three different fertiliser namely: complete fertiliser with urea, P2O5, K2O, and MgO based on the standard procedure as a control (C); fertiliser with urea, K2O, MgO without P2O5 (P0); and no fertiliser (F0) for 24 weeks.
