Earth's rotation around its axis has pressured its inhabitants to adapt to 24 h cycles of day and night. Humans adapted their own circadian rhythms to the Earth's rhythms with a light-aligned awake-sleep cycle. As a consequence, metabolism undergoes drastic changes throughout the circadian cycle and needs plasticity to cope with opposing conditions in the day (when there is an increase in energy demands and food availability), and during the night (when prolonged fasting couples with cyclic changes in the energy demands across the sleep stages).

Neuropeptide (abbreviated as ) is a recently discovered peptide that is present in many arthropods and is the ligand of the , a member of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) superfamily, which plays a regulatory role in diverse physiological processes such as feeding, circadian rhythm, insulin production, lipid metabolism, growth, and reproduction. However, the function of this gene in aphids is still unknown. Here, we characterized and determined the potential role of / signaling in the pea aphid, , which is a notorious pest in agriculture.

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) play essential roles in numerous biological processes in mammals, such as reproductive physiology and endocrinology. Cryptorchidism is a common male reproductive disease. Circadian rhythms are actively expressed in the reproductive system.

Pimpled eggs have defective shells, which severely impacts hatching rates and transportation safety. In this study, we constructed single-cell resolution transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility maps from uterine tissues of chickens using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq). We identified 11 major cell types and characterized their marker genes, along with specific transcription factors (TFs) that determine cell fate.
