Ecological variation and anthropogenic landscape modification have had key roles in the diversification and extinction of mammals in Madagascar. Lemurs represent a radiation with more than 100 species, constituting roughly one-fifth of the primate order. Almost all species of lemurs are threatened with extinction, but little is known about their genetic diversity and demographic history.

Given its highly migratory behaviour for feeding and spawning, several studies have been conducted to assess differentiation among spawning components to better define management units, as well as to investigate possible adaptations to comprehend and predict recent range expansion northwards.
Methods: Here, a high-quality genome of was sequenced and annotated, as an increasing number of population genetic studies have proven the relevance of reference genomes to investigate genomic markers/regions potentially linked to differences at finer scale.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), finding a higher prevalence of advanced liver disease in IMID patients compared to a matched control group.
- Utilizing a case-control design, the research analyzed liver biopsy data and RNA sequencing from patients to identify significant differences in gene expression related to liver disease between IMID and control groups.
- Results indicate that IMIDs not only increase the risk of advanced steatotic liver disease but also suggest a unique pathway for MASLD development in these patients, separate from traditional metabolic factors.
