Ornithogalum thyrsoides, a widely cultivated bulbous ornamental plant endemic to South Africa, has significant commercial value as a pot plant and for the production of cut flowers. However, infection by viruses threatens the success of commercial cultivation, as symptoms negatively affect the appearance of the plant and flowers. To date, four Ornithogalum-infecting viruses have been reported. Complete genome sequence data are available for three of these viruses, but the genome of the potyvirus ornithogalum virus 3 (OV3) has not been fully sequenced. In this study, the complete sequence of OV3 was determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and validated by Sanger sequencing. Based on recognition of protease cleavage patterns and multiple sequence alignments with closely related viruses, the polyprotein of OV3 was predicted to be proteolytically cleaved to produce 10 mature peptides containing domains conserved in members of the genus Potyvirus. Phylogenetic analysis and species demarcation criteria confirm the previous classification of OV3 as a member of a separate species in this genus. This is the first report of a complete genome sequence of OV3.

Lipid imaging mass spectrometry (LIMS) allows for establishing the bidimensional distribution of lipid species within a tissue section. One of the main advantages is the generation of spatial information on lipid species distribution at a spatial (lateral) resolution bordering on single-cell resolution with no need to isolate cells. Thus, LIMS images demonstrate, with a level of detail never described before, that lipid profiles are highly sensitive to cell type and pathophysiological state.

Introduction: Dengue viruses (DENVs), the causative agents of dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, undergo genetic mutations that result in new strains and lead to ongoing global re-infections.
Objectives: To address the growing complexity of identifying and tracking biological samples, this study screened RNA barcode segments for the four DENV serotypes, ensuring high specificity and recall rates for DENV identification using segments.
Results: Through analyzing complete genome sequences of DENVs, we screened eight barcode segments for DENV, DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 identification.

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are noncoding RNAs involved in protein biosynthesis and have noncanonical roles in cellular metabolism, such as RNA silencing and the generation of transposable elements. Extensive tRNA gene duplications, modifications to mature tRNAs, and complex secondary and tertiary structures impede tRNA sequencing. As such, a comparative genomic analysis of complete tRNA sets is an alternative to understanding the evolutionary processes that gave rise to the extant tRNA sets.
