Purpose: In this study, we aimed at profiling of luminal B breast cancer specific gene expression pattern in Indian women using mRNA-seq and validation based on TCGA expression data.

Methods: RNA isolated from luminal B tumor and adjacent normal tissues was used for library construction and sequencing. Reference-based assemblies of these reads were used for differential gene expression analysis using DeSeq2.

Unlabelled: A doubled haploid (DH) population consisting of 125 DHLs derived from the popular rice hybrid, KRH-2 (IR58025A/KMR3R) was utilized for Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping to identify novel genomic regions associated with yield related traits. A genetic map was constructed with 126 polymorphic SSR and EST derived markers, which were distributed across rice genome. QTL analysis using inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) method identified a total of 24 major and minor effect QTLs.

Article Synopsis
  • Chloroplast genome sequencing helps understand genome evolution and phylogenetic relationships, utilizing methods like chloroplast enrichment and extraction from whole-genome datasets.
  • The study introduces a cost-effective method using leaf transcriptome data and the bowtie2 program to extract and assemble chloroplast-specific reads, which requires less computational resources.
  • This approach allows for a near-complete chloroplast genome assembly that improves phylogenetic studies, species identification, and aids in developing plants with better resilience to environmental challenges.

The genus Eucalyptus with over 747 species occurs in wide ecological range and is preferred for bioenergy plantations due to their short rotation, rapid growth and superior wood properties. They are planted in 22 million ha area and India is third largest planter of Eucalyptus. In the present study, the bacterial endophyte community in leaves of six Eucalyptus clones belonging to E.
