DNA Methylation Profiling in Genetically Selected Clarias magur (Hamilton, 1822) Provides Insights into the Epigenetic Regulation of Growth and Development.

DNA methylation is an epigenetic alteration that impacts gene expression without changing the DNA sequence affecting an organism's phenotype. This study utilized a reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) approach to investigate the patterns of DNA methylation in genetically selected Clarias magur stocks. RRBS generated 249.

Stability Study and Handling Recommendations for Multiresidue Pesticide Mixes under Diverse Storage Conditions for LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS.

Background: In response to the growing global need for pesticide residue testing, laboratories must develop versatile analytical methods and workflows to produce scientifically sound results. One of the many challenges faced by food chemists is acquiring suitable pesticide certified reference materials (CRMs) to calibrate analytical equipment, monitor method performance, and confirm the identity and concentration of hundreds of pesticide residues in food samples. CRM producers invest considerable resources to ensure the stability of their products.

Method for trace level analysis of C8, C9, C10, C11, and C13 perfluorocarbon carboxylic acids in water.

A method was developed for the trace level analysis of pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (C8), heptadecafluorononanoic acid (C9), nonadecafluorodecanoic acid (C10), heneicosafluoroundecanoic acid (C11) and pentacosafluorotridecanoic acid (C13) in water. Samples were concentrated by solid-phase extraction (SPE) before analysis by combined liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). A surrogate standard, 9-hydrohexadecafluorononanoic acid (9H), was used to monitor recovery.
