Comparative analysis of methodologies for detecting extrachromosomal circular DNA.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is crucial in oncogene amplification, gene transcription regulation, and intratumor heterogeneity. While various analysis pipelines and experimental methods have been developed for eccDNA identification, their detection efficiencies have not been systematically assessed. To address this, we evaluate the performance of 7 analysis pipelines using seven simulated datasets, in terms of accuracy, identity, duplication rate, and computational resource consumption.

Male-derived phospholipase A2 enhances WD46 expression and increases fertility in Ophraella communa.

Successful bisexual reproduction requires interactions between males and females. Male-derived seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) transferred to females during mating profoundly affect females from pre- to post-mating, and the subsequent shift in female physiology enhances their fertility. SFPs have important evolutionary implications for the fitness of many insects.

Electroantennographic and Behavioral Responses of the Melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), to Volatile Compounds of Ridge Gourd, Luffa acutangular L.

The melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), is a major invasive pest, widely distributed in the Asia-Pacific region and some parts of Africa. Melon fly attractants could improve the effectiveness of current pest management measures. Previous studies have shown that some host fruits are attractive to melon flies but few have investigated the chemical compounds responsible for their attraction.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of an agricultural pest Zeugodacus tau (Diptera: Tephritidae).

The fruit fly Zeugodacus tau (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major pest of melons and other cucurbits in Southeast Asia. In this study, we used Illumina, Nanopore, and Hi-C sequencing technologies to assemble a reference genome of Z. tau at the chromosomal level.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome Characterization of (Insecta: Erebidae: Hypenodinae) and Its Phylogenetic Implication.

Rapid response of midgut bacteria in Bactrocera tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae) to lambda-cyhalothrin- and spinosad-induced stress.

In recent decades, the increasingly widespread application of chemical pesticides has exacerbated the emergence of insecticide resistance among insect pests. In this study, we examined the rapid response of bacteria in the midgut of the fruit fly Bactrocera tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae) to stress induced by the insecticides lambda-cyhalothrin and spinosad by analyzing the bacterial community structure and diversity in the midguts of 4-day-old B. tau.

Feeding on rapid cold hardening enhances cold tolerance of .

Low temperatures greatly influence newly introduced species, and increased cold tolerance can facilitate their establishment in new environments. The invasive alien species is distributed at high latitudes and altitudes, where it suffers more from cold stress than it would at low latitudes or altitudes. Whether cold stress influences the accumulation of cryoprotectants and cold tolerance in , and further influences the cold tolerance of its biological control agent, , through feeding remain unknown.

Single-cell landscape of primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Understanding tumor heterogeneity and immune infiltrates within the tumor-immune microenvironment (TIME) is essential for the innovation of immunotherapies. Here, combining single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility sequencing, we profile the intratumor heterogeneity of malignant cells and immune properties of the TIME in primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNS DLBCL) patients. We demonstrate diverse malignant programs related to tumor-promoting pathways, cell cycle and B-cell immune response.

The carboxypeptidase B and carbonic anhydrase genes play a reproductive regulatory role during multiple matings in .

Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) are key factors in sexual reproduction and are transferred to females during mating with sperm. SFPs have a nutritional value because they protect and activate sperm storage and release to optimize fecundity. Multiple matings promote ovipositioning in several insect species.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling and chromatin accessibility reveal an exhausted regulatory CD4+ T cell subset in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease, and CD4 T cells are known to promote SLE development. Here, we explore heterogeneities in the CD4 T cell regulome and their associations with SLE pathogenesis by performing assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) and single-cell transcriptome sequencing (single-cell RNA sequencing [scRNA-seq]) of peripheral CD4 T cells from 72 SLE patients and 30 healthy controls. Chromatin accessibility signatures of CD4 T cells are correlated with disease severity.

Comparative mitogenome analysis reveals mitochondrial genome characteristics in eight strains of .

Despite the significant progress that has been made in the genome sequencing of species, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) used to examine genetic diversity within fungal populations. Complete mitogenomes of species can be easily sequenced and assembled using various sequencing techniques. However, since mitogenome annotations are mainly derived from similar species comparison and software prediction, and are not supported by RNA-seq transcripts data, it leads to problems with the accuracy of mitochondrial annotations and the inability to understand RNA processing.
