Colocasia esculenta ranks as the fifth most important tuber crop and is known for its high nutritional and medicinal value. However, there is no research on its mitochondrial genome, hindering in-depth exploration of its genomic resources and genetic relationships. Using second- and third-generation sequencing technologies, we assembled and annotated the mitogenome of C.

The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, the Chinese Pangenome Consortium, and other plant and animal pangenome projects have announced the completion of pilot work aimed at constructing high-quality, haplotype-resolved reference graph genomes representative of global ethno-linguistically different populations or different plant and animal species. These graph-based, gapless pangenome references, which are enriched in terms of genomic diversity, completeness, and contiguity, have the potential for enhancing long-read sequencing (LRS)-based genomic research, as well as improving mappability and variant genotyping on traditional short-read sequencing platforms. We comprehensively discuss the advancements in pangenome-based genomic integrative genomic discoveries across forensic-related species (humans, animals, and plants) and summarize their applications in variant identification and forensic genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and microbiome research.

Methods: Blood samples (n = 119) with positive hematology screening results were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods and TGS on the PacBio-Sequel-II-platform, respectively.
Results: Out of the 119 cases, 106 cases showed fully consistent results between the two methods, with TGS identified HBA1/2 and HBB gene mutations in 82 individuals.

This study presents the hematological and genetic analysis of a child with severe β-thalassemia harboring triple heterozygous mutations. The child, diagnosed with anemia at the age of 1 year, became transfusion-dependent and maintained a hemoglobin level of 72.00-84.

Introduction: (MG) infection is a primary cause of chronic respiratory disease in poultry, threatening the economic viability of China's goose-farming industry. This study investigated the pathogenicity and drug resistance of an MG strain isolated from geese and whole-genome sequenced the strain.
Material And Methods: A strain designated MG-GD01/22 was isolated from the air-sac tissues of five geese with chronic respiratory disease on a Guangdong goose farm.
