Article Synopsis
- Insect pests from the Bactrocera genus, particularly the melon fly and Oriental fruit fly, significantly affect fruit and vegetable crops globally and harbor diverse bacterial communities in their guts.
- The research involved analyzing gut bacteria in both wild and mass-reared populations of these flies, using advanced sequencing techniques to profile their microbial composition.
- Major findings revealed a varied bacterial makeup, with common dominant phyla across both types, but differences in relative abundance; notably, wild flies had a higher presence of Proteobacteria, while mass-reared flies exhibited greater Firmicutes levels.
This study evaluates a family with two siblings having severe growth retardation and facial dysmorphism, born to consanguineous normal healthy parents. Affymetrix CytoScan 750K microarray showed a 34-Mb pericentric homozygous region on chromosome 6 for both siblings. was one of the 141 genes present in this region.

Aim: The role of oxidative damage to DNA due to hyperglycemia is well known. In the current study we have evaluated the induction of micronuclei due to increased glycosylation in type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Forty-nine subjects divided into two groups of normoglycemic controls and type 2 diabetic cases were recruited in the study.
