We report on a highly selective fluorescence ligand for thymine (T) base opposite an abasic site (AP site) in DNA duplexes. From the examination of the binding behaviors in solutions buffered to pH 7.0, we find that 6-chloro-3,5-diamino-2-pyrazinecarbonitrile (CDPC) can selectively recognize T with high affinity (Ka = 2.9 x 10(5) M(-1)), and the fluorescence intensity at 424 nm is significantly quenched only when binding to T. It is highly likely that the selective interaction of CDPC with T is explained by a pseudo-base pairing, for which three point hydrogen bonds are formed along the Watson-Crick edge of the target T. These binding functions of CDPC at the AP site are presented to develop ligand-based fluorescence assay for SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) typing.

In China, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), a notorious invasive species, has become an important economic freshwater species. In order to compare the genetic diversity and population structure of crayfish from northern and southern China, we collected 60 crayfish individuals from 4 crayfish populations in northern China and 2 populations in southern China for sequencing using the 2b-RAD technique. Additionally, the whole genome sequence information obtained by 2b-RAD of 90 individuals from 2 populations in northern China and 7 populations in southern China were downloaded from NCBI.

Methods: Platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet distribution width (PDW) data were obtained from the GWAS catalog database as exposure factors. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) data were obtained from the FinnGen database as outcome indicators.

Half the world's population is at risk of developing a malaria infection, which is caused by parasites of the genus . Currently, resistance has been identified to all clinically available antimalarials, highlighting an urgent need to develop novel compounds and better understand common mechanisms of resistance. We previously identified a novel tetrahydro-β-carboline compound, PRC1590, which potently kills the malaria parasite.
