Published: June 2006

Capsid and polymerase (RdRp) genes of 13 norovirus outbreak strains from Chile were compared. The genes sequences were discordant for five strains, and recombination was confirmed for two of them by amplification of a 1,360-bp gene segment containing a fragment of both genes. These strains belonged to a novel genogroup by RdRp sequence and to genogroup GII/3 by capsid sequence. Determining the clinical and epidemiological impact of human calicivirus recombination will require future studies.

Despite rapid progress in UAV-based infrared vehicle detection, achieving reliable target recognition remains challenging due to dynamic viewpoint variations and platform instability. The inherent limitations of infrared imaging, particularly low contrast ratios and thermal crossover effects, significantly compromise detection accuracy. Moreover, the computational constraints of edge computing platforms pose a fundamental challenge in balancing real-time processing requirements with detection performance.

Background/objectives: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive neoplasm. Although most patients respond to induction therapy, they commonly relapse due to recurrent disease in the bone marrow microenvironment (BMME). So, the disruption of the BMME, releasing tumor cells into the peripheral circulation, has therapeutic potential.

The black soldier fly, , is a voracious scavenger of various organic materials; therefore, it could be exploited as a biological system for processing daily food waste. In order to survey novel hydrolytic enzymes, we constructed a fosmid metagenome library using unculturable intestinal microorganisms from . Through functional screening of the library on carboxymethyl cellulose plates, we identified a fosmid clone, the product of which displayed hydrolytic activity.

Yield-related traits have higher heritability and lower genotype-by-environment interaction, making them more suitable for genetic studies in comparison with the yield per se. Different populations have been developed and employed in QTL mapping; however, the use of reciprocal SSSLs is limited. In this study, three kinds of bi-parental populations were used to investigate the stable and novel QTLs on six yield-related traits, i.
