Introduction: Placental DNA methylation differences have been associated with timing in gestation and pregnancy complications. Maternal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) partly originates from the placenta and could enable the minimally invasive study of placental DNA methylation dynamics. We will for the first time longitudinally investigate cfDNA methylation during pregnancy by using Methylated DNA Sequencing (MeD-seq), which is compatible with low cfDNA levels and has an extensive genome-wide coverage.

Compromised male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone and sperm count, is one of the long COVID symptoms in individuals recovering from mild-severe disease. COVID-19 patients display testicular injury in the acute stage and altered serum fertility markers in the recovery phase, however, long-term implications on the testis remain unknown. This study characterized the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 on testis function.

The nutritional physiology of parasites is often overlooked although it is at the basis of host-parasite interactions. In the case of Varroa destructor, one of the major pests of the Western honey bee Apis mellifera, the nature of molecules and tissues ingested by the parasite is still not completely understood. Here, the V.

Crossbreeding is a traditional breeding technique and has been performed successfully in many fish species. However, distant hybridization between different genera is hard to be successful because of reproductive isolation. In this study, diploid hybrids (PL) were successfully derived from the hybridization of Ussuri catfish (, PU, ♀, 2n = 52) and longsnout catfish (, LL, ♂, 2n = 52).
