To date, a very limited number of complete clitellate mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences are available. Therefore, in the present study, we elucidated the complete mitogenome sequence of Amynthas jiriensis (Clitellata: Megascolecidae), a species endemic to South Korea. Its 15 151-bp-long genome contains the 37 genes typical of metazoan mitogenomes [13 protein-coding genes (PCG), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes], and one major non-coding control region. All 37 genes were transcribed from the same DNA strand. The arrangement of the A. jiriensis mitogenome is identical to those of all available clitellate mitogenomes. All the 13 PCGs start with the ATG codon. Five PCGs (COI, ND6, CytB, ATP6, and ND4L) end with TAA, and COII ends with TAG, whereas the remaining PCGs end with the incomplete stop codon. The phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs has shown the species of Pheretimoid genera, including A. jiriensis, formed a complexity.

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO) is an antibody-calicheamicin conjugate with striking efficacy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, there is wide inter-patient variability in treatment response, and the genetic basis of this variation remains largely unknown. Using a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we discovered the loss of DNTT as a primary driver of InO resistance.

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

The origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) can be traced back to the Asian mouflon (Ovis gmelini), in the Near East around 10 000 years ago. Genetic divergence within mouflon populations can occur due to factors such as geographical isolation, social structures, and environmental pressures, leading to different affinities with domestic sheep. However, few studies have reported the extent to which mouflon sheep contribute to domestic sheep in different regions.

The reduced cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has allowed researchers to generate nuclear and mitochondrial genome data to gain deeper insights into the phylogeography, evolutionary history and biology of non-model species. While the Cape buffalo () has been well-studied across its range with traditional genetic markers over the last 25 years, researchers are building on this knowledge by generating whole genome, population-level data sets to improve understanding of the genetic composition and evolutionary history of the species. Using publicly available NGS data, we assembled 40 Cape buffalo mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from four protected areas in South Africa, expanding the geographical range and almost doubling the number of mitogenomes available for this species.
