Objective: To develop a method performed on an oligonucleotide array for HLA-DR53 group genotyping.
Methods: According to the specific allelic frequency and sequence of HLA-DRB loci in Chinese Han population, HLA-DR53 group typing probes which were immobilized on a glass supports were synthesized. A pair of group-special primers labeled by the Cy5-dCTP were designed, and the primers were used in the PCR, thus the PCR products were labeled with Cy5. The labeled PCR products were hybridized with array. The signals were scanned by scanner and analyzed by image software. The typing results were confirmed by standard DNA and PCR-SSO. One hundred and eleven samples were typed by this array.
Results: There were 72 HLA-DR53 group loci typed by oligonucleotide array. Among them, 34 loci were DR9, 25 were DR4, and 13 were DR7. No false positive or false negative typing results were observed. The specificity and reproducibility were 100% and the overall time of genotyping was 5 hours.
Conclusion: The oligonucleotide array technique is a precise, rapid molecular method for HLA-DR53 genotyping, suited for clinical practice.

is a parasite transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause a neglected tropical disease called Lymphatic filariasis. However, the genome of was not well studied, making novel drug development difficult. This study aims to identify microRNA, annotate protein function, and explore the pathogenic mechanism of by genome-wide analysis.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone that participates in various plant biological processes, such as seed germination, senescence, stomatal movement, and flowering. In the ABA signal transduction pathway, Pyrabactin Resistance 1 (PYR1)/PYR1-Like (PYL)/Regulatory Component is the core module for ABA perception. In this study, a total of 12 PYL family members were identified in birch ( Suk.

is a medicinal plant and an important source for the commercial production of tropane alkaloids (TAs), such as scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which are used clinically for their anticholinergic properties. In this study, we identified 16 metallocarboxypeptidase inhibitor (MCPI) genes from (), which are grouped into three subgroups based on phylogenetic relationships and are distributed across 10 chromosomes. Promoter analysis showed that most elements were related to defense and stress responses, such as drought, low-temperature, ABA (abscisic acid), GA (gibberellin), auxin, light and MeJA responsiveness.

The immune system likely plays a key role in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. Thus, we investigated whether immune cell compositions are already altered in healthy individuals at high genetic risk for PD. We quantified 92 immune cell subtypes in the blood of 442 individuals using multicolor flow cytometry.

Sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are essential enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to produce sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which plays pivotal roles in inflammation and immune regulation. In this study, genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) identified the gene as closely associated with the resistance of yellow drum () to . Structural prediction showed that YDSPHK1 contains a typical diacylglycerol kinase catalytic (DAGKc) domain (154-291 aa).
