In the present study, we announce the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a tree native to China with diverse beneficial uses. This complete chloroplast genome is 160,987 bp in length. In total, 130 genes were identified, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes.

However, the associations of diet, exercise, and gut microbiota in the control of obesity remain largely unknown. In the present study, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), normal fat diet (NFD), exercise and their combination resulted in improved metabolic profiles in comparison to sedentary lifestyle with high fat diet (HFD).

The let-7 family has been shown to have an essential role in stem cell differentiation and tumor-suppressive activity. Deregulating expression of let-7 is commonly reported in many human cancers.
