The actin genes of five nearctic species of the Drosophila obscura group were mapped by in situ hybridization, using the 5C actin gene of D. melanogaster as a probe. In all species but D. azteca eight actin loci were observed variously dispersed over all five (A- E) chromosomal elements. In D. azteca ten actin hybridization sites were found; four of which most probably originated by duplications or by transposition events. Although the five nearctic species differ from all other Drosophila species of the D. obscura group so far studied in the number of loci as well as in the chromosomal distribution and location of the actin loci, the uniformity of the main pattern with six actin loci throughout the genus Drosophila reinforces the hypothesis that the chromosomal elements have maintained their essential identities during the course of evolution. Our findings are in accordance with the conclusion that the nearctic D. obscura species have differentiated from a common ancestor of the palearctic species and that they belong to two distinct subgroups, the pseudoobscura and the affinis subgroups.

Background: Periodontal disease is a widespread inflammatory condition that compromises the supporting structures of the teeth, potentially resulting in tooth loss if left untreated. Despite advancements in therapeutic interventions and an enhanced understanding of its pathophysiology, emerging techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Mendelian randomization (MR) present new opportunities for precision medicine in the management of periodontal disease.
Methods: Data derived from the GSE152042 dataset underwent rigorous quality control, normalization, and dimensionality reduction using Seurat and the MonacoImmuneData framework.

Cerastium glomeratum Thuill., known as sticky mouse-ear chickweed, is native to Europe and has become naturalized in the wild on most continents. After its accidental introduction to Korea around the 1980s, it quickly became one of the dominant invasive weeds on the Korean peninsula and is now considered a significant threat to the Korean agroecosystem (Park et al.

Background: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is still a pathology around which there are numerous controversies regarding the criteria for its diagnosis, presentation, prognosis, and even classification into the appropriate group of diseases. So far, about 190 genes in which mutations may be associated with LVNC have been described, and in each of them, several to several dozen different have been discovered. We decided to analyze the frequency of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in correlation to Petersen's criteria.

Article Synopsis
- Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum, or Lesser Solomon's seal, is a perennial plant found in temperate regions, valued for its medicinal properties, including tea production.
- In September 2021, a new type of anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum, was reported affecting 20-30% of these plants in Chuncheon and Wanju, Korea, showing symptoms like leaf yellowing and brown lesions.
- The disease progressed during the rainy season, leading to significant leaf blight, and five fungal isolates were collected for study, with details about their morphological characteristics noted for further research.
