Breast and ovarian cancers are significant global health challenges, with inherited variations in breast cancer gene 1 () and breast cancer gene 2 () substantially increasing the risk, aggressiveness, and early onset of these diseases. This work aimed to examine pathogenic variants (PVs) in and databases that include Mexican populations. A systematic review of literature and data mining spanning from 2002 to 2023 was conducted.

Unlabelled: Myxococcota is a phylum of sterol-producing bacteria. They exhibit a clade depth for sterol biosynthesis unparalleled in the bacterial domain and produce sterols of a biosynthetic complexity that rivals eukaryotes. Additionally, the sterol biosynthesis pathways found in this phylum have been proposed as a potential source for sterol biosynthesis in the last eukaryotic common ancestor, lending evolutionary importance to our understanding of this pathway in Myxococcota.

Phylogenetic inference aims at reconstructing the tree describing the evolution of a set of sequences descending from a common ancestor. The high computational cost of state-of-the-art maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods limits their usability under realistic evolutionary models. Harnessing recent advances in likelihood-free inference and geometric deep learning, we introduce Phyloformer, a fast and accurate method for evolutionary distance estimation and phylogenetic reconstruction.

The brine shrimp Artemia, a crustacean adapted to the extreme conditions of hypersaline environments, comprises nine regionally distributed sexual species scattered (island-like) over heterogeneous environments and asexual (parthenogenetic) lineages with different ploidies. Such sexual and asexual interaction within the genus raises questions regarding the origin and time of divergence of both sexual species and asexual lineages, including the persistence of the latter over time, a problem not yet clarified using single mitochondrial and nuclear markers. Based on the complete mitochondrial genome of all species and parthenogenetic lineages, this article first describes the mitogenomic characteristics (nucleotide compositions, genome mapping, codon usage, and tRNA secondary structure) of sexual species and asexual types and, secondly, it provides a comprehensive updated phylogenetic analysis.

Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterobacter cloacae are phylogenetically distant Gram-negative bacterial pathogens that represent significant challenges in healthcare settings due to their remarkable ability to acquire antimicrobial resistance. This study investigates one of the most important efflux pump systems in A. baumannii, AdeABC-AdeRS, and identifies homologous components in E.
