The chilhuil sea catfish () is an ecologically relevant species contributing to the structure, organization, and functioning of the ecosystems it inhabits. Also, it is an important artisanal fishery resource in the Mexican Pacific coast. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity, population structure, and historical demography of in the Mexican Pacific. The mitochondrial DNA was amplified from two distinct regions, r16S and COI, resulting in an 1142 bp of the concatenated genes. Low genetic diversity levels were detected for r16S ( = 12;  0.131 = ) and high genetic diversity levels for COI ( = 57;  0.9128; ) and the concatenated gene fragments ( = 62;  0.9307; ). Population structure analysis indicated 'panmixia' for along the Mexican Pacific. Furthermore, historical demographic analysis (Tajima's , Fu's s, mismatch distribution, and Bayesian Skyline plot analyses) supported a population expansion scenario for the studied species.

KRAS is a proto-oncogene that is found to be mutated in 15% of all metastatic cancers with high prevalence in pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancers. Additionally, patients harboring KRAS mutations respond poorly to standard cancer therapy. As a result, KRAS is seen as an attractive target for targeted anticancer therapy.

Rice salt tolerance is highly anticipated to meet global demand in response to decreasing farmland and soil salinization. Therefore, dissecting the genetic loci controlling salt tolerance in rice for improving productivity is of utmost importance. Here, we evaluated six salt-tolerance-related traits of a biparental mapping population comprising 280 F2 rice individuals (Oryza sativa L.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health concern linked to liver disease and cancer, with research focusing on genetic factors that affect its evolution.
  • Recent studies highlighted the ECM1 gene, specifically two polymorphisms (rs3834087 and rs3754217), which may influence HBV pathogenesis, particularly in an African cohort analyzed in this research.
  • The study found that the heterozygous genotype of rs3754217 appears to protect against chronic hepatitis, suggesting that certain genetic variations may impact the severity of the disease in infected individuals.

This study aimed to investigate the association between the interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) gene polymorphism (rs2853550) and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a sample of the Iraqi population. The study included 100 RA patients and 100 healthy controls. Demographic characteristics, including age and gender, were collected and compared between the two groups.
