The T2T Genome of the Domesticated Silkworm .

Genome sequences contain the fundamental genetic information that largely determines the biology of a species. Over the past 20 years, advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools have matured, facilitating genome assembly and ushering in the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) era. is renowned as a silk-producing insect and serves as an important model organism extensively studied across various fields of biology.

Proteotranscriptomic analyses of the midgut and Malpighian tubules after a sublethal concentration of Cry1Ab exposure on Spodoptera litura.

Background: Cry1Ab has emerged as a bio-insecticide to control Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). However, the sublethal effects of Cry1Ab on the physiological changes and molecular level of S. litura have not been well documented.

[5-azacytidine enhances anti-tumor efficacy of doxorubicin to neuroblastoma cell lines].

Objective: The loss of caspase-8 expression correlates with unfavorable survival outcomes in neuroblastoma (NB). Caspase-8 gene inactivation is caused by methylation. This study aimed to explore the effect of the demethylation agent 5-azacytidine on caspase-8 expression and whether 5-azacytidine can increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy drug doxorubicin to NB cells.
