Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a perennial herb that has both ornamental and medicinal properties, analyzing its complete chloroplast genome.
- The chloroplast genome measures 157,139 bp and consists of various regions such as large single-copy, small single-copy, and inverted repeat sequences, with a total of 132 annotated genes.
- Phylogenetic analysis showed that this herb is most closely related to another species within the Rutaceae family.

Article Synopsis
- Estradiol plays a crucial role in organizing behaviors related to partner preferences and sexual conduct during the development of mandarin voles, a species known for strong monogamous pair bonds.
- Female pups were treated with either β-Estradiol or an oil vehicle, while male pups received only the oil vehicle, leading to significant differences in partner preferences and sexual behaviors when tested at 3 months old.
- The study found that females treated with estradiol exhibited greater expression of estrogen receptors in specific brain areas compared to males and control females, suggesting that perinatal estradiol treatment influences adult mating behavior and partner choices.

Methylation and the relationship between methylation and cancer have been the focus of molecular biology researches. Methylation represses gene expression and can influence embryogenesis and tumorigenesis.
