Premise: A novel set of nuclear microsatellite markers was developed and characterized for (Myrtaceae) and tested for cross-amplification in the related species .
Methods And Results: Forty-one primer pairs were designed for simple sequence repeat loci, of which 36 successfully amplified and were polymorphic. The number of alleles ranged from two to 14, with an average of 8.14 alleles per locus. Additionally, cross-amplification was tested in ; more than 55.5% of the microsatellite loci amplified, confirming the use of these microsatellite markers in a related species.
Conclusions: We developed a set of microsatellite markers that will be useful for future studies of genetic diversity and population structure of and a closely related species, which will aid in future conservation efforts.

The Hypericaceae family, comprising nine genera and over seven hundred species, includes plants traditionally used for medicinal purposes. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing on three species: , , and , and conducted comparative genomic analyses with related species. The chloroplast genome sizes were 152,654 bp, 122,570 bp, and 137,652 bp, respectively, with an average GC content of 37.

(Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1), located on the X-chromosome, encodes the multi-functional FMR1 protein (FMRP), critical to brain development and function. Trinucleotide CGG repeat expansions at this locus cause a range of neurological disorders, collectively referred to as Fragile X-related conditions. The most well-known of these is Fragile X syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with syndromic facial features, autism, intellectual disabilities, and seizures.

Background: Sugarcane is a crucial crop for both sugar and bioethanol production. The nobilization breeding and utilization of wild germplasm have significantly enhanced its productivity. However, the pollen sterility in Saccharum officinarum restricts its role to being a female parent in crosses with Saccharum spontaneum during nobilization breeding, resulting in a narrow genetic basis for modern sugarcane cultivars.

The presence of specific genetic mutations in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is associated with improved survival outcomes. Disruption of the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway in tumor cells enhances the effectiveness of radiotherapy drugs, while increased mutational burden following tumor cell damage also facilitates the efficacy of immunotherapy. The ATRX gene, located on chromosome X, plays a crucial role in DDR.
