Three yeast strains were isolated from industrial wastes in Thailand. Based on the phylogenetic sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the large subunit rRNA gene, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S rRNA gene-ITS2; ITS1-2) region, and their physiological characteristics, the three strains were found to represent two novel species of the ascomycetous anamorphic yeast. Strain JP52(T) represent a novel species which was named Cyberlindnera samutprakarnensis sp. nov. (type strain JP52(T); = BCC 46825(T) = JCM 17816(T) = CBS 12528(T), MycoBank no. MB800879), which was differentiated from the closely related species Cyberlindnera mengyuniae CBS 10845(T) by 2.9 % sequence divergence in the D1/D2 region and 4.4 % sequence divergence in the ITS1-2. Strain JP59(T) and JP60 were identical in their D1/D2 and ITS1-2 regions, which were closely related to those of Scheffersomyces spartinae CBS 6059(T) by 0.9 and 1.0 % sequence divergence, respectively. In addition, supportive evidence of actin gene and translational elongation factor gene by sequence divergence of 6.5 % each confirmed their distinct status. Furthermore, JP59(T) and JP60 differentiated from the closely related species in some biochemical and physiological characteristics. These two strains were assigned as a single novel species which was named Candida thasaenensis sp. nov. (type JP59(T) = BCC 46828(T) = JCM 17817(T) = CBS 12529(T), MycoBank no. MB800880).

Evidence has shown that T-cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize the same epitopes may not be the exact TCR clonotypes but have slightly different TCR sequences. However, the changes in the genomic and transcriptomic signatures of these highly homologous T cells during immunotherapy remain unknown. Here, we examined the evolutionary features in circulating TCR clonotypes observed in tumors (tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-TCRs) by combining single-cell RNA/TCR sequencing of longitudinal blood samples and TCR sequencing of tumor tissue from a patient treated with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4/programmed cell death protein-1 therapy.

The European grapevine moth () poses a significant threat to vineyards worldwide, causing extensive economic losses. While its ecological interactions and control strategies have been well studied, its associated viral diversity remains unexplored. Here, we employ high-throughput sequencing data mining to comprehensively characterize the virome, revealing novel and diverse RNA viruses.

Proline, a critical osmoregulatory compound, is integral to various plant stress responses. The gene, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in proline biosynthesis, known as ∆1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, is fundamental to these stress response pathways. While the functions of genes in plants have been extensively documented, their specific roles in cotton remain inadequately characterized.

Polyploidy is a powerful mechanism driving genetic, physiological, and phenotypic changes among cytotypes of the same species across both large and small geographic scales. These changes can significantly shape population structure and increase the evolutionary and adaptation potential of cytotypes. , an edaphic steno-endemic species with a narrow distribution in the Balkan Peninsula, serves as an intriguing case study.

Kinetoplastids display a single, large mitochondrion per cell, with their mitochondrial DNA referred to as the kinetoplast. This kinetoplast is a network of concatenated circular molecules comprising a maxicircle (20-64 kb) and up to thousands of minicircles varying in size depending on the species (0.5-10 kb).
