In order to compare the structure and function of pigeon invariant chain (pIi) gene with other avian's, pIi gene was cloned using a method of RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends). Firstly, according to high conservative nucleotide sequence of homologous fragment in avian invariant chain (Ii) gene, a pair of degenerated primer was designed, and a special DNA fragment was gained from pigeon spleen cell RNA by PCR. Then based on the sequence of gained DNA fragment, some new primers were designed, and the 3'terminal and the 5'terminal of pIi gene were cloned by RACE respectively. Finally a complete cDNA of pIi was to extend with newly designed primer by PCR. The product was identified by electrophresis and sequence analysis. The results of sequencing indicate that pIi gene is 1,050 bp in length (GenBank No. AY904337), which includes an open reading frame of 633 bp encoding a precursor protein with 211 amino acid residues. In comparison with the nucleotide sequences of other species' Ii genes, pIi is similar to chicken's, showing an overall identity of 82.8 with chicken and over 52.0 with human and other mammalian animals. In addition, some amino acid residues in Ii molecule manifest extremely conservative among animals, which suggests that they could have an important biological function.

The avirulence (AVR) genes of Magnaporthe oryzae are pivotal in eliciting resistance responses in rice, which are mediated by resistance (R) genes in rice. Monitoring the variation of AVR genes in the pathogen is essential for strategically deploying R genes in rice cultivation regions. In this study, a total of 214 isolates were collected from Jiangxi Province, China, in 2022, and the distribution and variation of AVR genes in these isolates were analyzed by PCR amplification and sequencing.

Background: This study provides new information on long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in the hair follicles of Hetian sheep the sequencing and analysis of the transcriptome of skin hair follicles during three periods of periodicity change. This is important for improving the quality of carpet wool, providing a preliminary basis for further research on the targeting relationship of these mRNAs and their target genes, and providing a scientific basis for marker-assisted selection of Hetian sheep.
Methods: The periodic variation of anagen (P I, May, = 3), catagen (p II, October, = 3), and telogen (p III, January, = 3) of the skin hair follicle tissue of three Hetian sheep ewes were selected.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between dermatoglyphic patterns (fingerprint characteristics) and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD), suggesting these patterns may reflect neurodevelopmental vulnerabilities.
- Researchers analyzed the relationship between two genetic polymorphisms in the Cannabinoid Receptor 1 gene and three dermatoglyphic markers among 97 patients with SSD and 112 controls.
- Findings indicate that one genetic variant, rs2023239, modifies how dermatoglyphic pattern intensity relates to SSD risk, underscoring the potential role of the endocannabinoid system in neurodevelopment and highlighting the need for further research combining genetics and dermatoglyphics.

Article Synopsis
- Skull-base chordoma is a rare and aggressive bone cancer known for its high recurrence, and the study aims to understand its molecular characteristics and potential treatments through comprehensive analysis of 187 tumors.
- The research identifies chromosome instability as a significant predictor of prognosis and a possible target for therapy, particularly highlighting RPRD1B in cases resistant to radiotherapy.
- The study also characterizes tumor subtypes, revealing an immune cold subtype linked to poorer clinical outcomes, while showing that specific chromosomal gains and mitochondrial functions correlate with increased invasiveness in certain tumors.
