Ptomascopus plagiatus (Ménétriés, 1854) is a forensically important silphid species. In this study, we report on the mitochondrial genome of . The complete mitochondrial genome of is 17556 bp and contains 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, and a 2953 bp noncoding region.

In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the standard therapy consists of selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors that target epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). Nonetheless, their clinical utility is primarily limited by the development of resistance to drugs. HDAC inhibitors have been shown in studies to reduce the level of EGFR that is expressed and downregulate the EGFR-induced phosphorylation of AKT and ERK.

The postburial interval (PBI) can be inferred by using necrophagous insects colonizing the buried corpse. In different seasons, the species composition and succession of necrophagous insects on swine carrion (0.5-0.

The mitochondrial genome is frequently used for species identification and phylogenetic studies. In this study, we first sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of two phorid species that are forensically important in buried or enclosed environments: Metopina sagittata (Liu) and Puliciphora borinquenensis (Wheeler). The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of M.

is one of the most important genera in the family Phoridae. This genus is mainly distributed in Palearctic region, and its species can be used to estimate the postmortem interval. In this study, we first present two mitochondrial genomes of common necrophagous species of this genus, (Meigen, 1830) and (Wiedemann, 1830).
