When resequencing animal genomes, some short reads cannot be mapped to the reference genome and are usually discarded. In this study, unmapped reads from 302 German Black Pied cattle were analyzed to identify potential pathogenic DNA. These unmapped reads were assembled and blasted against NCBI's database to identify bacterial and viral sequences. The results provided evidence for the presence of pathogens. We found sequences of Bovine parvovirus 3 and Mycoplasma species. These findings emphasize the information content of unmapped reads for gaining insight into bacterial and viral infections, which is important for veterinarians and epidemiologists.

Background And Aims: The rapid and accurate detection of viruses and the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are critical for disease management and understanding viral evolution. This study presents a pipeline for virus detection, validation, and SNP discovery from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The pipeline processes raw sequencing data to identify viral sequences with high accuracy and sensitivity by integrating state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools with artificial intelligence.

Article Synopsis
- - The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, has evolved unique traits like pigment loss due to natural selection in cave habitats and serves as an important species for studying evolution, with a chromosome count of 2n = 50.
- - Researchers utilized advanced techniques including whole chromosome isolation and sequencing to analyze the structure of a specific chromosome (chromosome 1) in A. mexicanus, contributing to the understanding of its genetic makeup.
- - Findings showed strong conservation of chromosome features across related species, suggesting a shared evolutionary origin, and the gathered data can be useful for comparative studies in other fish species of the same family.

Background: Microbes produce diverse bioactive natural products with applications in fields such as medicine and agriculture. In their genomes, these natural products are encoded by physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Genome and metagenome sequencing advances have enabled high-throughput identification of BGCs as a promising avenue for natural product discovery.

RNA molecules within ejaculated sperm can be characterized through whole-transcriptome sequencing, enabling the identification of pivotal transcripts that may influence reproductive success. However, the profiling of sperm transcriptomes through next-generation sequencing has several limitations impairing the identification of functional transcripts. In this study, we explored the nature of the RNA sequences present in the sperm transcriptome of two livestock species, cattle and horses, using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology.

Hi-C is a popular ligation-based technique to detect 3D physical chromosome structure within the nucleus using cross-linking and next-generation sequencing. As an unbiased genome-wide assay based on chromosome conformation capture, it provides rich insights into chromosome structure, dynamic chromosome folding and interactions, and the regulatory state of a cell. Bioinformatics analyses of Hi-C data require dedicated protocols as most genome alignment tools assume that both paired-end reads will map to the same chromosome, resulting in large two-dimensional matrices as processed data.
