AI Article Synopsis

  • The mitochondrial genome of the Chinese endemic snail has been fully sequenced, measuring 13,985 base pairs, making it the third known mt genome within its family.
  • This genome contains 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 13 protein-coding genes, with 24 on the majority coding strand and the remainder on the minority coding strand.
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this snail species is closely related to others within the Camaenidae family.

Article Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Chinese endemic snail (Pfeiffer, 1846) has been sequenced and annotated in this study. The entire circular genome is 13,985 bp in size and represents the third camaenid mt genome, with 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes. All of genes are divided into two groups, including 24 genes on the majority coding strand (J strand) and others on the minority coding strand (N strand). Phylogenetic analysis of 13 protein-coding genes suggests that . is closely related to the species in family Camaenidae.

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO) is an antibody-calicheamicin conjugate with striking efficacy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, there is wide inter-patient variability in treatment response, and the genetic basis of this variation remains largely unknown. Using a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we discovered the loss of DNTT as a primary driver of InO resistance.

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

The origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) can be traced back to the Asian mouflon (Ovis gmelini), in the Near East around 10 000 years ago. Genetic divergence within mouflon populations can occur due to factors such as geographical isolation, social structures, and environmental pressures, leading to different affinities with domestic sheep. However, few studies have reported the extent to which mouflon sheep contribute to domestic sheep in different regions.

The reduced cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has allowed researchers to generate nuclear and mitochondrial genome data to gain deeper insights into the phylogeography, evolutionary history and biology of non-model species. While the Cape buffalo () has been well-studied across its range with traditional genetic markers over the last 25 years, researchers are building on this knowledge by generating whole genome, population-level data sets to improve understanding of the genetic composition and evolutionary history of the species. Using publicly available NGS data, we assembled 40 Cape buffalo mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from four protected areas in South Africa, expanding the geographical range and almost doubling the number of mitogenomes available for this species.
