A major QTL for SHGD was identified on chromosome 5 with stable expression across environments. The introgression this QTL can overcome the need of colchicine in DH lines development. Genome doubling of haploids is one of the major constraints of large-scale doubled haploid (DH) technology. Improving spontaneous haploid genome doubling (SHGD) is an alternative to overcome this limitation. In this study, we aimed to construct a high-density linkage map based on genotyping by sequencing of single nucleotide polymorphism, to detect QTL and QTL by environment (Q by E) interactions affecting SHGD and to identify the best trait for mapping and selection of haploid male fertility (HMF). To this end, a biparental population of 220 F families was developed from a cross between A427 (high HMF) and CR1Ht (moderate HMF) to be used as donor. A high-density linkage map was constructed containing 4171 SNP markers distributed over 10 chromosomes with an average distance between adjacent markers of 0.51 cM. QTL mapping for haploid fertile anther emergence, pollen production, tassel size, and HMF, identified 27 QTL across three environments, and Q by E interactions were significant. A major QTL was identified on chromosome 5. This QTL explained over 45% of the observed variance for all traits across all environments. The introgression of this major QTL, using marker-assisted backcrossing, has great potential to overcome the need of using colchicine in DH line development.

Background: The aim of this study was to establish a primary mouse gastric carcinoma cell line.
Methods: Gastric adenocarcinoma in the body region was induced in immunocompetent BALB/c mice using N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea and a 2% NaCl solution. Fresh gastric cancer tissue samples were cultured in 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum for primary culture and subculture.

The p53 protein is regarded as the "Guardian of the Genome," but its mutation is tumor progression and present in more than half of malignant tumors. The pro-metastatic property of mutant p53 makes a strong argument for targeting mutant p53 with new therapeutic strategies. However, mutant p53 was considered as a challenging target for drug discovery due to the lack of small molecular binding pockets.

Coupling interactions between the alpha (α) subunit of the polymerase III core (α-Pol III core) and the tau (τ) subunit of the clamp loader complex (τ-CLC) are vital for efficient and rapid DNA replication in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Specific and targeted mutations in the C-terminal τ-interaction region of the Pol III α-subunit disrupted efficient coupled rolling circle DNA synthesis in vitro and caused significant genomic defects in CRISPR-Cas9 dnaE edited cell strains.

Captive, pelagic red crabs (Pleuroncodes planipes) had shortened lifespans and cutaneous black spots. Histologically, epidermal and mesenchymal cells had 3-5 µm diameter intranuclear inclusions, necrosis, vacuolation, and/or hyperplasia. The remaining organs were histologically unremarkable.

Large genetic variants can be generated via homologous recombination (HR), such as polymerase theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ) or single-strand annealing (SSA). Given that these HR-based mechanisms leave specific genomic signatures, we developed GDBr, a genomic signature interpretation tool for DNA double-strand break repair mechanisms using high-quality genome assemblies. We applied GDBr to a draft human pangenome reference.
