The Beaufortia szechuanensis is endemic to the upper reaches of Yangtze River in China. In this study, we successfully sequenced the mitochondrial genome of the B. szechuanensis, collected from the Qingyi River. The complete mitochondrial genome of B. szechuanensis was a circular molecule of 16,559 bp in length, containing 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, an origin of light-strand replication (OL) and a control region (D-loop). It is the first complete mitochondrial DNA data in the genus Beaufortia. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of 14 species in Balitoridae was used for phylogenetic analysis. The topology demonstrated that the Balitoridae can be classified into two subfamilies, and the B. szechuanensis belongs to the subfamily Gastromyzoninae.

Background: Postmenopausal women (PMW) who complete menopause at a late age (55+ years) have lower cardiovascular disease risk than PMW who complete menopause at a normal age (45-54 years). However, the influence of late-onset menopause on vascular endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Moreover, the mechanisms by which a later age at menopause may modulate endothelial function remain to be determined.

is a plant distributed at meadow or wetland. Our study reports the complete chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of is a typical tetrameric structure with a total length of 159,843 bp, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,350 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 13,151 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 31,171 bp.

Objectives: Nepenthes, sometimes known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, is a carnivorous plant genus that contains more than 160 species. Nepenthes khasiana, India's sole representative of the genus, is a rare and endangered dioecious plant endemic to North-east India. Despite the fact that it is a prominent insectivorous plant in the Nepenthaceae family, genomic resources for the species are limited, making genomic breeding and understanding the genetic basis of botanical carnivory difficult.

Prostate cancer (PCa) growth depends on de novo lipogenesis controlled by the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). In this study, we identify lysine methyltransferase (KMT)9 as a regulator of PDC activity. KMT9 is localized in mitochondria of PCa cells, but not in mitochondria of other tumor cell types.

Mitochondrial genomes are a rich source of data for various downstream analyses such as population genetics, phylogeny, and systematics. Today it is possible to assemble rapidly large numbers of mitogenomes, mainly employing next-generation sequencing and third-generation sequencing. However, verification of the correctness of the generated sequences is often lacking, especially for noncoding, length-variable parts.
