Article Synopsis
- Eucommia ulmoides, a deciduous tree known as a "living fossil," has uncertain genetic diversity and population structure, prompting a study to investigate these factors through genome re-sequencing of 12 accessions from various climatic regions in China.
- The analysis revealed that E. ulmoides accessions clustered into four different groups based on geographical locations, with samples from Hunan and Shanghai showing unexpected close genetic relationships and higher genetic diversity compared to those from other areas.
- The research also identified significant genetic differentiation between groups based on geographic classification and highlighted nine genes related to biological regulation processes and Eu-rubber biosynthesis through selective sweep analyses.
Unlabelled: Hepatic injuries in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients are caused by immune responses of the host. In our previous study, microRNA-146a (miR-146a), an innate immunity-related miRNA, and complement factor H (CFH), an important negative regulator of the alternative pathway of complement activation, were differentially expressed in HBV-expressing and HBV-free hepatocytes. Here, the roles of these factors in HBV-related liver inflammation were analyzed in detail.
