Non-SMC Condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG), a mitosis-associated chromosomal condensation protein, is related to sister chromatid appropriate separation during the condensation and fusion of chromosomes and responsible for the condensation and stabilization of chromosomes during meiosis and mitosis. Studies have shown that NCAPG is highly adjusted in a variety of cancers, and its related molecular mechanism affects tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis including hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, gliomas, lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer. Clinically, the expression of NCAPG is strongly correlated with N-classification, M-classification, and clinical stage, and NCAPG is valuable for the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. In addition, NCAPG can also reduce the sensitivity of tumor cells such as breast cancer to reduce the reaction of the original chemotherapy, so that tumor cells are drug-resistance. In summary, NCAPG can serve as a new diagnosis and treatment target for a variety of cancers, and is also a very promising prognostic marker. Therefore, this review summarizes the critical role of NCAPG in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for various cancers, and the mechanism by which NCAPG plays its pivotal roles.

Background: Exonuclease 1 (EXO1), a protein involved in mismatch repair and recombination processes, has been identified as a prognostic biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Nevertheless, its role in LUAD progression remains elusive. This study seeks to elucidate the functional significance of EXO1 in LUAD and evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target.

Background: Cancer stem cells are characterized by self-renewal, clonal tumor initiation capacity, and treatment resistance, which play essential roles in the tumor progression of prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we aim to explore the features of cancer stemness and characterize the expression of stem cell-related genes for PCa.
Methods: We downloaded RNA-seq data and related clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Article Synopsis
- Birds vary greatly in size, making them key for studying how evolution adapts traits like body size, but the genetic factors involved are still not well understood.
- This study examined 15 genes linked to body size in birds, showing notable adaptive evolution in these genes across different bird lineages, especially highlighting the IGF2BP1 gene's connection to larger body sizes.
- The research uncovered distinct evolutionary patterns and convergent evolution in genes associated with body size, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms driving size adaptations in birds.

Article Synopsis
- NCAPG is identified as an upregulated gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with tumor progression and lymphatic metastasis.
- Through analyses of TCGA and GEO databases, NCAPG was found to be an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.
- The study highlights how NCAPG interacts with CDK1 to enhance the phosphorylation of ERK, promoting NSCLC growth and metastasis, which suggests potential therapeutic targets.

Milk production traits play an important role in dairy cattle breeding, and single nucleotide polymorphisms can be used as effective molecular markers for milk production trait marker-assisted breeding in dairy cattle. Based on the results of the preliminary GWAS, candidate genes and associated with milk production traits were screened. In this study, the aim was to screen and characterize the SNPs of and genes about milk production traits.
