We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the female hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus (Gould, 1869) (F type). The F type genome is composed of 16,642 bp in length including 12 protein coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA and 23 tRNA with the same gene content and order as the other Mytilus species which is characterized by the absence of the ATPase8 gene and addition of tRNA(Met) (AUA). The nucleotide composition of the genome shows that the percentage of A+T (63.2%) is higher than those of M. edulis complex species (M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis, M. trossulus) but lower than that of M. californianus. The F type mitochondrial genome of M. coruscus will provide useful information on the evolutionary history of the Mytilus species in the family Mitilidae.

Background: The Anopheles culicifacies complex is one of the most important malaria vectors in Southeast Asia and Southeastern Iran. Although the sibling species within this complex are morphologically indistinguishable, they differ significantly in their disease transmission potential, blood-feeding behaviour, and other biological traits. Cytogenetic and chromosomal studies have identified five sibling species within this complex: A, B, C, D, and E.

Introduction: Bipolar 2 disorder (BD2) is an independent disease with specific familial aggregation, significant functional impairment, specific treatment challenges and several distinctive clinical features. However, unlike bipolar 1 disorder, studies investigating causal and functional genes are lacking. This study aims to identify and prioritize causal genetic variants and genes for BD2 by analyzing brain-specific gene expression markers, to improve the understanding of its genetic underpinnings and support advancements in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

A predictive model for long-term survival is needed, and mitochondrial dysfunction is a key feature of cancer metabolism, though its link to glioma is not well understood. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular characteristics associated with glioma prognosis and explore its potential function. We analyzed RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and identified differentially expressed mitochondrial long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) using R's 'limma' package.

Cell proliferation is a fundamental characteristic of organisms, driven by the holistic functions of multiple proteins encoded in the genome. However, the individual contributions of thousands of genes and the millions of protein molecules they express to cell proliferation are still not fully understood, even in simple eukaryotes. Here, we present a genome-wide translation map of cells during proliferation in the unicellular alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, based on the sequencing of ribosome-protected messenger RNA fragments.
