Background: The function of some testis-specific genes (TSGs) in model insects have been studied, but their function in non-model insects remains largely unexplored. In the present study, we identified several TSGs in the fall armyworm (FAW), a significant agricultural pest, through comparative transcriptomic analysis. A testis-specific gene cluster (TSGC) comprising multiple functional genes and long non-coding RNAs was found.

Sarcopenia can be considered a component of cachexia, with the bidirectional interplay between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle potentially serving as a molecular mechanism for both conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms differ.

Although the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas system has been extensively developed since its discovery for eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome editing and other genetic manipulations, there are still areas warranting improvement, especially regarding bacteria. In this study, BRD0539, a small-molecule inhibitor of Cas9 (SpCas9), was used to suppress the activity of the nuclease during genetic modification of , as well as to regulate CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). First, we developed and validated a CRISPR-SpCas9 system targeting the gene of .

In-frame deletion of exon 55 (ΔExon55) is the most common disease-causing variant in . Previously, a mouse model of was developed; however, it presented an uncharacteristically severe phenotype with a near complete reduction in transcript expression that is not observed in exon 55 patients.

We integrated classic omics, including DNA mutation and RNA gene expression, added a novel focus on promising omics methods based on A>I(G) RNA editing, and developed a drug response prediction model. We analyzed 104 patients from the Breast Cancer Genome-Guided Therapy Study (NCT02022202).
