Species identification is very important in forensic science case. However, the existing methods in forensic practice to identifying the species of bone and teeth are not objective, accurate or brief enough. We have reported the classification of bone species by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and chemometric methods. Here we further use this method to realize the rapid detection of teeth species. 50 teeth samples from human and non-human (bovine, dog, rat, rabbit) were used in this study. Uncontrolled environment conditions were set to simulate real forensic casework. Teeth sample were prepared by grinding powder and pressed into KBr tablet, then the spectral data were collected. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used in the study. The internal and external validations of PLS-DA results were 97.1% and 93.3% accuracy, respectively. The results illustrate that FT-IR spectroscopy be used as a practical tool to identify species of unknown teeth.

Textiles provide a valuable source of information regarding past cultures and their artistic practices. Understanding ancient textiles requires identifying the raw materials used, since the origin of dyes and fibers may be from plants or animals, with the specific species used varying based on geography, trade routes and cultural significance. A selection of nine Chancay textile fragments attributed to 800-1200 CE were studied with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) to identify the chemical compounds in extracts of natural dyes used to create green, blue, red, yellow and black colors.

Small RNA sequencing analysis in two chickpea genotypes, JG 62 (Fusarium wilt-susceptible) and WR 315 (Fusarium wilt-resistant), under Fusarium wilt stress led to identification of 544 miRNAs which included 406 known and 138 novel miRNAs. A total of 115 miRNAs showed differential expression in both the genotypes across different combinations. A miRNA, Car-miR398 targeted copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS) that, in turn, regulated superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity during chickpea-Foc interaction.

Precursors of microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) are less used in silico to mine miRNAs. This study developed PmiR-Select based on covariance models (CMs) to identify new pre-miRNAs, detecting conserved secondary structural features across RNA sequences and eliminating the redundancy. The pipeline preceded PmiR-Select filtered 20% plant pre-miRNAs (from 38589 to 8677) from miRBase.

ZnO-CoO material was successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method and used as a catalyst for the removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF). ZnO-CoO exhibited higher catalytic activity in the catalytic process compared to the photocatalytic processes. Under optimum conditions, the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by ZnO-CoO achieved approximately 99% removal of DCF, confirming the effective adsorption and activation of PMS.

Background: At least one-third of the identified risk alleles from Genome Wide Association Studies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are involved in lipid metabolism, lipid transport, or direct lipid binding. BIN1 which is also known as Amphiphysin 2; and PICALM which are involved in phosphoinositide metabolism and binding rank just below the highest risk gene variant of Apolipoprotein E (ApoEε4), a cholesterol and phospholipid transporter. In addition to genetic variants, lipidomic studies have reported severe metabolic dysregulation in human autopsy brain tissue, CSF, blood and multiple mouse models of AD.
