Diarrheagenic cause diarrheal diseases, which are a public health concern and affect mainly developing countries. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens have been spreading in different sources, including animals and the environment. strains were obtained from a small-scale pig farm and 33 antimicrobials were tested. All strains were classified as MDR and harbored several antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) [, , , , , A, , , , , , , and A] and plasmids. Besides, mutations in quinolone resistance-determining region of GyrA (Ser83Leu and Asp87Asn) and ParC (Glu84Asp) were detected. Among the MDR nine strains (52%) presented diarrheagenic virulence genes, including genes related to Shiga toxin-producing (STEC), enteroinvasive (EIEC), and enteroaggregative (EAEC). The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis results showed a high genetic diversity among the MDR strains. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses revealed different sequence types phylogenetically related to each other, including ST10 and ST56. Subtyping of MLST by gene showed different . This study shows a high genetic diversity among MDR ARG-producing belonging to STEC, EIEC, and EAEC pathotypes obtained from a small-scale pig farm and contributes to the monitoring of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens worldwide, mainly in environmental samples, which are associated with One Health framework.

The extent of functional sequences within the human genome is a pivotal yet debated topic in biology. Although high-throughput reverse genetic screens have made strides in exploring this, they often limit their scope to known genomic elements and may introduce non-specific effects. This underscores the urgent need for novel functional genomics tools that enable a deeper, unbiased understanding of genome functionality.

Both DNA replication and RNA transcription utilize genomic DNA as their template, necessitating spatial and temporal separation of these processes. Conflicts between the replication and transcription machinery, termed transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs), pose a considerable risk to genome stability, a critical factor in cancer development. While several factors regulating these collisions have been identified, pinpointing primary causes remains difficult due to limited tools for direct visualization and clear interpretation.

The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium cellulovorans is a promising candidate for the sustainable production of biofuels and platform chemicals due to its cellulolytic properties. However, the genomic engineering of the species is hampered because of its poor genetic accessibility and the lack of genetic tools. To overcome this limitation, a protocol for triparental conjugation was established that enables the reliable transfer of vectors for markerless chromosomal modification into C.

Background: Migraine is a highly prevalent and incapacitating neurological disorder mostly characterised by recurring attacks of moderate to severe throbbing and pulsating pain on one side of the head. The role of estrogen in migraine has been well documented. Although genetic variations in the ESR1 gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing migraine, the findings are inconsistent.

Objective: This study aims to improve genetic diagnosis in childhood onset epilepsy with neurodevelopmental problems by utilizing RNA sequencing of fibroblasts to identify pathogenic variants that may be missed by exome sequencing and copy number variation analysis.

Methods: We enrolled 41 individuals with childhood onset epilepsy and neurodevelopmental problems who previously had inconclusive genetic testing. Fibroblast samples were cultured and analyzed using RNA sequencing to detect aberrant expression, aberrant splicing, and monoallelic expression using the Detection of RNA Outlier Pipeline (DROP) pipeline.
