Applications that use Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) libraries often require paired-end sequences and knowledge of the physical location of each clone in plates. To facilitate obtaining this information in high-throughput, we generated pBACode vectors: a pool of BAC cloning vectors, each with a pair of random barcodes flanking its cloning site. In a pBACode BAC library, the BAC ends and their linked barcodes can be sequenced in bulk. Barcode pairs are determined by sequencing the empty pBACode vectors, which allows BAC ends to be paired according to their barcodes. For physical clone mapping, the barcodes are used as unique markers for their linked genomic sequence. After multi-dimensional pooling of BAC clones, the barcodes are sequenced and deconvoluted to locate each clone. We generated a pBACode library of 94,464 clones for the flounder Paralichthys olivaceus and obtained paired-end sequence from 95.4% of the clones. Incorporating BAC paired-ends into the genome preassembly improved its continuity by over 10-fold. Furthermore, we were able to use the barcodes to map the physical locations of each clone in just 50 pools, with up to 11 808 clones per pool. Our physical clone mapping located 90.2% of BAC clones, enabling targeted characterization of chromosomal rearrangements.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of the PhoA family is an important enzyme in mammals, microalgae, and certain marine bacteria. It plays a crucial role in the dephosphorylation of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and nucleotides, which overstimulate cell signaling pathways and cause tissue inflammation in animals and humans. Insufficient ALP activity and expression levels have been linked to various disorders.

Riboflavin analogs lacking one methyl group (7α or 8α) can still serve as a surrogate for riboflavin in riboflavin-deficient microorganisms or animals. The absence of both methyl groups at once completely abolishes this substitution capability. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon, we performed an adaptive laboratory evolution experiment (in triplicate) on an strain auxotrophic for riboflavin.

: The body color and patterns of insects play important roles in foraging, evading predators, mating, thermoregulation, and environmental adaptation. During the rearing of the QiufengN silkworm strain, a mutant with black pupal cuticle (QiufengNBP) was discovered. Preliminary map-based cloning and sequence analysis indicated that the gene might significantly influence the formation of the black pupa mutant and the expression of 30K proteins.

Article Synopsis
- Yellow seed coat color (SCC) is linked to higher seed oil content (SOC) and lower seed lignocellulose content (SLC), but no dominant yellow SCC genes were previously known.
- A dominant yellow SCC gene called N53-2 was identified in a study using a double haploid population from N53-2 and a black seed coat material, revealing thousands of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and specific trans-eQTL hotspots.
- Transgenic experiments confirmed that the newly discovered allele produces yellow SCC seeds with significantly higher SOC and lower SLC, offering promising prospects for breeding rapeseed with desirable traits.

This study examines the impact of two types of environmental enrichment on the growth of the Amazon molly (), a clonal fish species. We investigated the effects of two welfare-related enrichment factors: physical enrichment (presence of a halfpipe PVC and gravel substrate, E) and social enrichment (presence of visible neighbor fish, N). Fish were divided into four treatment groups: (1) both physical and social enrichment (EN), (2) no physical enrichment but social enrichment (nEN), (3) physical enrichment without social enrichment (EnN,), and (4) no enrichment (nEnN).
