Article Abstract
The three-dimensional positioning of the X-chromosomal adenine nucleotide translocase genes, ANT2 and ANT3, were compared in the active and inactive X chromosome territories (Xa and Xi) of female human amniotic fluid cell nuclei. ANT2 is located in Xq24-q25 and is transcriptionally active on Xa, but inactive on Xi. ANT3 is located in the pseudoautosomal region Xp22.3 and escapes X-inactivation. Three-color fluorescence in situ hybridization, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and three-dimensional image analysis revealed that transcriptionally active ANT2 and ANT3 genes were positioned more peripheral within their chromosome territory than the inactive ANT2 gene. The position of the latter was significantly more interior in the Xi territory. Although the volumes of both X territories were similar, 3D distances between ANT2 and ANT3 were significantly smaller in Xi compared to Xa territories reflecting different territory shapes. Our data show a correlation between 3D positioning and transcriptional activity of these X-specific genes.

is a significant opportunistic pathogen that causes substantial economic losses in animal agriculture due to its ability to infect various animal tissues and organs. Limited research has been conducted on the prevalence and biological characteristics of isolated from sheep and goats. This study aimed to isolate from clinical samples of sheep and goats in western China, examining genetic evolutionary relationships, antibiotic resistance, and virulence genes.

Extensively drug-resistant (XDR-PA) has been highlighted as a serious public health threat. The present study aimed to explore the genomic characteristics of two Vietnamese extended-spectrum β-lactamase-9 (VEB-9)-producing XDR-PA isolates from Bulgaria in comparison to all -positive strains with available genomes. The isolates designated Pae51 and Pae52 were obtained from tracheobronchial aspirates of intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Modern "molecular genetic (MG) phylogenies" of the plague microbe , built on models of neutral evolution using statistical methods of phylogenetic analysis, contradict numerous obvious environmental (ECO) patterns and are not consistent with the concept of adaptatiogenesis. The reason for the discrepancy between MG and ECO phylogenies is seen in the underestimation by the MG approach of parallelisms in the processes of speciation and intraspecific diversification of the plague microbe. ECO methods showed the parallel tritope (almost) simultaneous speciation of three primary genovariants (populations, subspecies) 2.
