Article Synopsis
- The Indian spot-billed duck (Anas poecilorhyncha) is a large, non-migratory bird whose identification is complicated by overlapping traits and hybridization with similar species.
- This study sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of A. poecilorhyncha and the mallard duck (A. platyrhynchos) to analyze their genetic relationships, revealing conserved mitochondrial characteristics and a distinct genetic separation between Indian and Chinese populations of A. poecilorhyncha.
- The findings highlight the importance of further phylogenetic studies on these species and the potential use of their mitochondrial genome data for species identification and understanding domestication.
4-Methyl-2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pent-1-ene (MBP) exposure induces hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity - role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and pathways of cytotoxicity.

Objective: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous pollutant worldwide and 4-Methyl-2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pent-1-ene (MBP) is considered a major active metabolite of BPA with a wide range of potent toxicological properties. However, its adverse outcome pathway (AOP) on the hepatic and renal system has not yet been explored.
Methods: Hence, the current study evaluated its effect on cell survival, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.
In this investigation, single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the chicken interferon-inducible transmembrane protein () genes were explored in Aseel and Kadaknath breeds. 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.

Genetic elements, specifically the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 1772C>T variant within the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) gene, are hypothesized to contribute to residual ridge resorption progression. Nevertheless, its impact remains insufficiently investigated, especially within the context of South Indian populations.
