The chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of an invasive forest pest Obolodiplosis robiniae.

Biological invasion is a major global problem, leading to the loss of biodiversity and species extinction, and causing huge economic losses to countries. Obolodiplosis robiniae is a major invasive forest pest that has caused economic losses in Asia and Europe. Here, the chromosome- level genome of O.

Attract and kill trees? No simple solution for Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) control.

Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), the Asian longhorned beetle, is a serious wood-boring pest of hardwood trees. There have been records that suggest Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) might be an "attract and kill" tree species for A.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae): A novel tRNA secondary structure, gene rearrangements and phylogenetic implications.

is economically important as a highly specific parasitoid of the invasive pest which was introduced into the Euro-Asia region in the last decade. Despite being a critical and specific parasitoid of the invasive pest and its use as an effective biocontrol agent, the absence of sequence information from have limited its genetic applications for pest management in forests. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes generally contain abundant nucleotide information and thus are helpful for understanding species history.

c.753_754delAG, a novel mutation found in a Chinese patient with cystic fibrosis: A case report and review of the literature.

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is rare in Asian populations relative to the Caucasian population. In this paper, we report the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) variation in a family of Chinese CF patients, and systematically review the previous literature.

Case Summary: Here we report a 30-month-old Chinese girl who was diagnosed with CF based on her history and symptoms such as recurrent productive cough, wheezing with repeated infection of , and parasinusitis.
