The Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus przewalskii) is an endangered equid native to the steppes of central Asia. After becoming extinct in the wild multiple conservation efforts convened to preserve the species, including captive breeding programs, reintroduction and monitoring systems, protected lands, and cloning. Availability of a highly contiguous reference genome is essential to support these continued efforts.

Exploring student motivation to learn is a research area that has rapidly expanded over the past decade, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to influence education. In the field of anatomy, most research about motivation to learn targets medical and other health professional students, but little is known about factors that drive students enrolled in science degrees. The aims of this mixed-methods study were to determine: (1) what motivates undergraduate university science students to learn anatomy, and whether motivation differs between cohorts (second- and third-year) and gender; and (2) the impact of COVID-19 on motivation to learn.

Introduction: Widespread disruption of neuropeptide (NP) networks in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and disproportionate absence of neurons expressing igh P-roducing, coined as HNP neurons, have been reported for the entorhinal cortex (EC) of AD brains. Hypothesizing that functional features of HNP neurons are involved in the early pathogenesis of AD, we aim to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these observations.

Methods: Multiscale and spatiotemporal transcriptomic analysis was used to investigate AD-afflicted and healthy brains.

Pallas's cat, or the manul cat (), is a small felid native to the grasslands and steppes of central Asia. Population strongholds in Mongolia and China face growing challenges from climate change, habitat fragmentation, poaching, and other sources. These threats, combined with 's zoo collection popularity and value in evolutionary biology, necessitate improvement of species genomic resources.
