Complete mitochondrial genome of the longicorn Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

The chinaberry yellow-banded longhorn beetle, Hope 1842 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an important pest on many economic tree species. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was determined, which was 15,837 bp in length and contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding A + T-rich region. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomes showed that is sister to a clade formed by and .

Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation may be an early predictor of delayed motor development due to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: a fMRI study.

Background: Acute bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus is the worst consequence of brain damage caused by the elevation of total unbound serum bilirubin (TSB) in neonates. The present study aimed to visualize the characteristic brain regions of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (HB) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and to measure the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, which included newborns with HB who were hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University.

Effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on neuroimaging and neurobehavior in neonates.

Background: We collected neonatal neurological, clinical, and imaging data to study the neurological manifestations and imaging characteristics of neonates with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methods: This case-control study included newborns diagnosed with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China from January 2020 to July 2020. All included newborns had complete neurological evaluations and head magnetic resonance imaging.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the olive weevil, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The olive weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an uncontrollable noxious insect to . The 15,977 bp complete mitochondrial genome of contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 21 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a control region (GenBank accession number MW023069). The was not found in the mitogenome.

Identification of a binding site for ASF/SF2 on an RNA fragment derived from the hepatitis delta virus genome.

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a small (~1700 nucleotides) RNA pathogen which encodes only one open reading frame. Consequently, HDV is dependent on host proteins to replicate its RNA genome. Recently, we reported that ASF/SF2 binds directly and specifically to an HDV-derived RNA fragment which has RNA polymerase II promoter activity.
