The population of sable Martez zibellina consisting of two subspecies (M. z. kamtschadalica and M. z. jacutensis) on the territory of the Magadan oblast was analyzed for the variation of the 1300-bp mtDNA gene region encoding cytochrome b. Three haplotypes were revealed among the animals studied (n = 52). Six out of nine restriction endonucleases that had recognizable sites within the studied region of mtDNA genome had polymorphic sites. An index of gene diversity h was 0.27. The high level of polymorphism is a result of the fact that the population studied comprised two clearly differentiated subspecies. The ratio of dominating haplotypes corresponds to the percentage of females introduced from Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Krai, which suggests that in the period which has elapsed both maternal lineages remained fairly unchanged.

The Amazon basin is the world's largest hydrographic basin, in terms of both its total area and its species diversity, with more than 2,700 species of fish. Despite this diversity, the data available on the fish fauna of the Amazon basin are still relatively scant and incomplete, in particular from the streams and floodplain lakes of the lower Amazon, which may contain a large proportion of the still undescribed species of the basin. Many of these species are expected to be of interest to the ornamental fish market.

Different polymorphisms in genes encoding metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters have been associated with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics. In particular, studies on CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, and their combined cluster have demonstrated their significance in adjusting tacrolimus dosing to minimize under- and overexposure thereby increasing the proportion of patients who achieve tacrolimus therapeutic target. Many factors influence the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus, contributing to inter-patient variability affecting individual dosing requirements.

Oil palm () yield is impacted by abiotic stresses, leading to significant economic losses. To understand the core abiotic stress transcriptome (CAST) of oil palm, we performed RNA-Seq analyses of oil palm leaves subjected to drought, salinity, waterlogging, heat, and cold stresses. A total of 19,834 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a superfamily of thiolate-ligated heme metalloenzymes principally responsible for the hydroxylation of unactivated C-H bonds. The lower-axial cysteine is an obligatory and universally conserved residue for the CYP enzyme class. Herein, we challenge this paradigm by systematically identifying non-canonical CYPs (ncCYPs) that do not harbor a cysteine ligand.

Background: Sponges harbor microbial communities that play crucial roles in host health and ecology. However, the genetic adaptations that enable these symbiotic microorganisms to thrive within the sponge environment are still being elucidated. To understand these genetic adaptations, we conducted a comparative genomics analysis on 350 genomes of Actinobacteriota, a phylum commonly associated with sponges.
