The melon fly, (Diptera:Tephritidae) is an important invasive pest and distributed throughout tropical, subtropical countries and areas. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the fly with 15, 685 base pair in length, which includes 37 genes (the large and small ribosomal RNA subunits, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 genes encoding mitochondrial proteins) and a non-coding A + T-rich control region. Molecular phylogeny indicated that there was a high bootstrap value supported among and belonging to the complex.

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.

Background: Tea-oil Camellia within the genus Camellia is renowned for its premium Camellia oil, often described as "Oriental olive oil". So far, only one partial mitochondrial genomes of Tea-oil Camellia have been published (no main Tea-oil Camellia cultivars), and comparative mitochondrial genomic studies of Camellia remain limited.
Results: In this study, we first reconstructed the entire mitochondrial genome of C.

Background: Vascular Dementia (VaD) is the second most prevalent cause of dementia, arising from the blockage of blood vessels in the brain. One event responsible for the blockage or narrowing of small blood vessels is transient ischemic attack (TIA), and these changes resolve within 24 hours in humans. The molecular mechanism underlying these changes in recovery in small vessels still needs to be investigated.

Background: The medical and social history of patients with Alzheimer's Disease is heterogeneous with many interacting genetic and environmental factors contributing to an individual's risk. Moreover, a maternal family history (mFH) is a key risk factor for AD-raising the risk for disease onset by as much as nine times. However, a proportion of individuals do not have a complete knowledge of their family history.

A significant proportion of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data ends up not being used since they comprise information out-of-scope of the primary studies. This 'waste' of potential can be harnessed to explore organellar genomes, such as the mitochondrial DNA, and be used for evolutionary, conservation and biodiversity research. We present the complete mitochondrial genomes of the deep-sea methanotrophic sponges and (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida) retrieved from previously published whole metagenome sequencing data.
