Given the lack of a gold standard, the clinical usefulness of Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) has not been established. This systematic review aimed to evaluate evidence about the clinical benefit of CGP for patients with Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). All controlled studies that evaluated the ability of CGP to detect actionable targets (ATs) reported increases in the number of samples with ATs. The frequency of ATs detected in uncontrolled case series ranged from 0.7 % for RET mutations to 45 % for EGFR mutations. The studies that evaluated therapies targeted to EGFR, ALK, ROS-1, MET, and RET mutations documented significant improvement in clinical outcomes. This review suggests that CGP tests may be clinically helpful for treating patients with NSCLC. Although current evidence is associated with a high risk of bias, the significant impact of NSCLC on individuals and society may justify the routine use of CGP testing for this disease.

Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) involved in the degradation of plant cell walls and/or the assimilation of plant carbohydrates for energy uptake are widely distributed in microorganisms. In contrast, they are less frequent in animals, although there are exceptions, including examples of CAZymes acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria or fungi in several of phytophagous arthropods and plant-parasitic nematodes. Although the whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a major agricultural pest, knowledge of HGT-acquired CAZymes in this phloem-feeding insect of the Hemiptera order (subfamily Aleyrodinae) is still lacking.

The European grapevine moth () poses a significant threat to vineyards worldwide, causing extensive economic losses. While its ecological interactions and control strategies have been well studied, its associated viral diversity remains unexplored. Here, we employ high-throughput sequencing data mining to comprehensively characterize the virome, revealing novel and diverse RNA viruses.

The accessibility of genetic data will facilitate a more comprehensive delineation of FMDV phylogeny on a global scale. In this study, we investigated the FMDV strains circulating in Russia during the 2013-2014 period in geographically distant regions utilizing whole genome sequencing followed by maximum-likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction of whole genome and VP1 gene sequences.

The trichomes of mustard leaves have significance due to their ability to combat unfavorable external conditions and enhance disease resistance. It was demonstrated that the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) ternary complex consists of MYB, basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH), and WD40-repeat (WD40) family proteins and plays a key role in regulating trichome formation and density. The bHLH gene family, particularly the Myelocytomatosis (MYC) proteins that possess the structural bHLH domain (termed bHLH-MYC), are crucial to the formation and development of leaf trichomes in plants.
