Here, we present the complete genomic sequence of an attenuated duck enteritis virus (DEV). The Chinese standard challenge strain of DEV (DEV CSC) was serially passaged 20 times in chick embryo fibroblasts and then 85 times in chick embryos. The virus was attenuated and was avirulent to 2-month-old ducks. The attenuated DEV genome is 162,131 base pairs (bp) in length and as long as the parental genomic sequence. There are only 22 nucleotide substitutions, resulting in single amino acid changes in open reading frames LORF5, LORF4, UL41, UL39, UL32, UL13, UL10, UL3, US3, US4 and US7. The genome sequence has been deposited in the GenBank database under accession number KU216226. This study provides genetic information about DEV attenuation and further advances our understanding of the molecular basis of DEV pathogenesis.

Single cell studies have transformed our understanding of cellular heterogeneity in disease but the need for fresh starting material can be an obstacle, especially in the context of international multicenter studies and archived tissue. We developed a protocol to obtain high-quality cells and nuclei from dissected human skeletal muscle archived in the preservative Allprotect® Tissue Reagent. After fluorescent imaging microscopy confirmed intact nuclei, we performed four protocol variations that compared sequencing metrics between cells and nuclei enriched by either filtering or flow cytometry sorting.

Malaria has been a leading cause of death in human populations for centuries and remains a major public health challenge in African countries, especially affecting children. Among the five Plasmodium species infecting humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal. Ancient DNA research has provided key insights into the origins, evolution, and virulence of pathogens that affect humans.

The Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a group of closely related nontuberculous mycobacteria that can cause various diseases in humans. In this study, genome sequencing, comprehensive genomic analysis, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 66 MAC clinical isolates from King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand were carried out. Whole-genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) revealed the MAC species distribution, comprising 54 (81.

No biomarker can effectively screen for early gastric cancer (EGC). Players in the A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)-natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) receptor axis may have a role for that. As a proof-of-concept pilot study, the expression of ADAM8, ADAM9, ADAM10, ADAM12, ADAM17, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related sequence A (MICA), a ligand for NKG2D, in gastric cancer was investigated in silico using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Spontaneous rDNA loss must be countered by rDNA copy number (CN) expansion. Germline rDNA CN expansion is best understood in Drosophila melanogaster, which relies on unequal sister chromatid exchange (USCE) initiated by DNA breaks at rDNA.
