Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on Persicaria maackiana, a medicinal plant known for its anti-diabetic properties, but lacking genomic data that limits further research.
  • - Researchers constructed a draft genome using advanced sequencing technologies, revealing 32,179 contigs, predicting over 64,000 protein-coding genes, and identifying numerous microsatellite markers.
  • - This work offers essential genomic resources, paving the way for future studies in areas like comparative genomics and population genetics of P. maackiana.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study presents a comprehensive genomic analysis, generating a draft genome of 0.346 Gb with 2941 contigs, highlighting high quality through the identification of 1481 BUSCOs (91.76%).
  • - It includes predictions of 23,402 protein-coding genes and identifies 7481 shared orthogroups among species, placing the organism as a distant relative to another species with notable gene family changes.
  • - The study also identifies 30 polymorphic microsatellite markers with good genetic diversity, providing valuable resources for comparative genomics and future population research.

The decrease in freshwater biodiversity owing to anthropogenic disturbances such as mining activity is a global challenge; hence, there is an urgent need for systematic approaches to continuously monitor such disturbances and/or the recovery of biodiversity in freshwater habitats. The Hwangjicheon Stream is the source of South Korea's longest river and has been subjected to runoff from coal mining. We investigated changes in the diversity of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in various microhabitats, including riffle, run, and pool, to monitor the recovery of biodiversity in the stream following the improvement of a mining water treatment plant in 2019.

Objective: To identify the correlations between the location of multifidus atrophy and the level of lumbar radiculopathy.

Methods: Thirty-seven patients who had unilateral L4 or L5 radiculopathy were divided into 2 groups; the L4 radiculopathy (L4 RAD) group and the L5 radiculopathy (L5 RAD) group. Bilateral lumbar multifidus muscles at the mid-spinous process level of L4 vertebra (L4 MSP), the mid-spinous process level of L5 vertebra (L5 MSP), and the mid-sacral crest level of S1 vertebra (S1 MSC) were detected in T1 axial magnetic resonance imaging.
