In the present paper, the genetic diversity of 48 Beauveria bassiana strains from different altitudes and at different seasons in Dabie Mountains of western Anhui was estimated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Twelve among 33 ISSR primers were chosen for their reproducibility and high polymorphism. Seven (2 - 11) markers per primer were scored, and a total of 84 fragments were amplified, in which 73 (81%) were polymorphic. Genetic diversity analysis revealed a relatively high level of intraspecific genetic diversity of B. bassiana in Dabie Mountains of western Anhui: the percentage of polymorphic loci (PPL) was 81%, Nei's genetic diversity (He) was 0.3187 and Shannon's genetic diversity index (I) was 0.4782. The genetic differentiation, Gst was 0.1028, indicating that a low degree of genetic differentiation occurred in the B. Bassiana among populations.

is one of the three most frequently mutated genes in age-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH), alongside and (. CH can progress to myeloid malignancies including chronic monomyelocytic leukemia (CMML) and is also strongly associated with inflammatory cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in humans. DNMT3A and TET2 regulate DNA methylation and demethylation pathways, respectively, and loss-of-function mutations in these genes reduce DNA methylation in heterochromatin, allowing derepression of silenced elements in heterochromatin.

Hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channels are members of the cyclic nucleotide-binding family and are crucial for regulating cellular automaticity in many excitable cells. HCN channel activation contributes to pain perception, and propofol, a widely used anesthetic, acts as an analgesic by inhibiting the voltage-dependent activity of HCN channels. However, the molecular determinants of propofol action on HCN channels remain unknown.

Current dogma assumes that lipid asymmetry in biological membranes is actively maintained and dispensable for cell viability. The inner (cytoplasmic) membrane (IM) of is asymmetric. However, the molecular mechanism that maintains this uneven distribution is unknown.

Epithelial cancers are typically heterogeneous with primary prostate cancer being a typical example of histological and genomic variation. Prior studies of primary prostate cancer tumour genetics revealed extensive inter and intra-patient genomic tumour heterogeneity. Recent advances in machine learning have enabled the inference of ground-truth genomic single-nucleotide and copy number variant status from transcript data.

Background: Sweetpotato is a vegetatively propagated crop cultivated worldwide, predominantly in developing countries, valued for its adaptability, short growth cycle, and high productivity per unit land area. In most sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, it is widely grown by smallholder farmers. Niger, Nigeria, and Benin have a huge diversity of sweetpotato accessions whose potential has not fully been explored to date.
