Eight microsatellite markers have been characterized from the Perumytilus purpuratus genome. Their gene diversity ranged from 0.057 to 0.873 and significant interpopulation genic heterogeneity was observed between two populations of southeastern Pacific (Chile) and southwestern Atlantic (Argentine). Distinct cross-priming amplification rates were recovered on nine additional species belonging to six Mytilinae genera. The microsatellites developed herein would likely be a powerful intraspecific genetic tool to undertake fine population studies in the intertidal ecosystem bioengineer P. purpuratus along the South American shoreline.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a histologically heterogeneous disease with variable clinical outcome. The role the tumour microenvironment (TME) plays in determining tumour progression is complex and not fully understood. To improve our understanding, it is critical that the TME is studied systematically within clinically annotated patient cohorts with long-term follow-up.

In this research, we analyzed Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) and Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate the genetic diversity of eighteen different onion genotypes with various resistant levels to FOC. The results showed that the polymorphism means between RAPD primers was 61.11 to 81.

Backgrounds: Sarcoma (SARC) is a mesenchymal tumor which often responds poorly to systemic therapy. It is therefore important to look for possible biological markers that could tell the prognosis and the progression of SARC.
Methods: A combined evaluation of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and genotypic tissue expression (GTEx) portal was used to analyzeLMNB2 expression level in different types of cancer.

CAG/CTG repeats are prone to expansion, causing several inherited human diseases. The initiating sources of DNA damage which lead to inaccurate repair of the repeat tract to cause expansions are not fully understood. Expansion-prone CAG/CTG repeats are actively transcribed and prone to forming stable R-loops with hairpin structures forming on the displaced single-stranded DNA (S-loops).

Assessing and determining genetic diversity in rose species is a crucial step for conservation efforts, the establishment of a core collection, and the development of new varieties. This study represents the first investigation of genetic diversity among various rose species at different ploidy levels in Tunisia, with the aim of elucidating the genetic structure of the genus. It encompasses both spontaneous and cultivated accessions, featuring local and introduced species recognized for their adaptability, ornamental value, and fragrance.
