Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent oral cancers in the world. The major etiological factors are considered to be tobacco and alcohol. However, the etiological factors for non-habit associated oral squamous cell carcinoma (NHOSCC) remains an enigma.

It is essential to comprehend how the sequence of development affects biological pathways and how early exposure to infections might affect immune responses.
Methods: This study employed transcriptome analysis to investigate host-pathogen interactions by analyzing gene expression changes in NDV-infected chicken embryos' lungs.
Interspecific hybridization between two different Brassicaceae species, namely ssp. (♀) (AA, 2n = 2x = 20) and genetically modified (♂) (AACC, 2n = 4x = 38), was performed to study the transmission of a herbicide resistance gene from a tetraploid to a diploid species. Initially, four different GM lines were used for hybridization with via hand pollination.

Primarily, differential DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications on parental alleles form the molecular basis of gene imprinting. Plants predominantly exhibit this non-Mendelian inheritance phenomenon in the endosperm and the early embryo of developing seeds.

Comparative analysis with the GRCg6a reference genome revealed 9 and 16 SNVs in the locus for Aseel and Kadaknath breeds, respectively. When referencing the Genome Reference Consortium GRCg7b, Kadaknath exhibited 10 variants, contrasting with none in Aseel.
