Systems for managing genomic data must store a vast quantity of information. Ensembl stores these data in several MySQL databases. The core software libraries provide a practical and effective means for programmers to access these data. By encapsulating the underlying database structure, the libraries present end users with a simple, abstract interface to a complex data model. Programs that use the libraries rather than SQL to access the data are unaffected by most schema changes. The architecture of the core software libraries, the schema, and the factors influencing their design are described. All code and data are freely available.

Background: The glomerular podocyte endoplasmic reticulum is a critical component in renal function, yet its research landscape is not fully understood. This study aims to map the existing research on podocyte endoplasmic reticulum by analyzing publications in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from the past 19 years.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis using Citespace, VOSviewer, the Metrology Literature Online platform, and the Bibliometrix software package to visualize and interpret the data from WOSCC.

YHSeqY3000 panel captures all founding lineages in the Chinese paternal genomic diversity database.

BMC Biol

January 2025

Institute of Rare Diseases, Frontiers Science Center for Disease-Related Molecular Network, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610000, Sichuan, China.

Background: The advancements in second-/third-generation sequencing technologies, alongside computational innovations, have significantly enhanced our understanding of the genomic structure of Y-chromosomes and their unique phylogenetic characteristics. These researches, despite the challenges posed by the lack of population-scale genomic databases, have the potential to revolutionize our approach to high-resolution, population-specific Y-chromosome panels and databases for anthropological and forensic applications.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop the highest-resolution Y-targeted sequencing panel, utilizing time-stamped, core phylogenetic informative mutations identified from high-coverage sequences in the YanHuang cohort.

Qualitative evaluation of the implementation and national roll-out of the NHS App in England.

BMC Med

January 2025

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG, UK.

Background: The NHS App launched in 2019 as the 'digital front door' to the National Health Service in England with core features including General Practitioner (GP) appointment booking, repeat prescriptions, patient access to records and, later on, COVID-19 vaccination certification. Similar patient portals have been adopted in different formats and with variable levels of success. In this longitudinal study (2021-2023) we examined how the NHS App became implemented in the pandemic context and beyond.

Heatstroke, a global concern exacerbated by climate change, poses significant health risks, potentially leading to multiorgan damage and fatalities. Core body temperature (CBT) is a critical and precise indicator of heatstroke, and its continuous monitoring could serve as a pivotal tool for early detection. Traditional CBT measurements, often invasive (e.
