is a second-class nationally protected wild animal in China. As one of the cavefish, has strong adaptability to harsh subterranean environments. In this study, we used PacBio SMRT sequencing technology to generate a first representative full-length transcriptome for . Sequence clustering analysis obtained 232,126 full-length transcripts. Among all transcripts, 40,487 were annotated in public databases, while 70,300 microsatellites, 2384 transcription factors, and 16,321 long non-coding RNAs were identified. The phylogenetic tree showed that . shows a closer relationship to and phylogenetically diverging from the common ancestor ~14.74 million years ago (Mya). We also found that between 15.6 and 17.5 Mya, also experienced an additional whole-genome duplication (WGD) event, which may have promoted the species evolution of . Meanwhile, the overall rates of evolutionary of polyploid were significantly higher than those of the other cyprinids, and 220 positively selected genes (PSGs) were identified in two sub-genomes of . These PSGs are likely to fulfill critical roles in the process of adapting to diverse cave environments. This study has the potential to facilitate future investigations into the genomic characteristics of and provide valuable insights into revealing the evolutionary history of polyploid .

The CRISPR-derived endoribonuclease Csy4 is a popular tool for controlling transgene expression in various therapeutically relevant settings, but adverse effects potentially arising from non-specific RNA cleavage remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a split-Csy4 architecture that was carefully optimized for in vivo usage. First, we separated Csy4 into two independent protein moieties whose full catalytic activity can be restored via various constitutive or conditional protein dimerization systems.

Variant calling using long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA-seq) can be applied to diverse tasks, such as capturing full-length isoforms and gene expression profiling. It poses challenges, however, due to higher error rates than DNA data, the complexities of transcript diversity, RNA editing events, etc. In this paper, we propose Clair3-RNA, the first deep learning-based variant caller tailored for lrRNA-seq data.

Fibrinogen-related domain (FReD) containing proteins are an evolutionarily conserved immune gene family characterized by the C-terminal fibrinogen (FBG) and diverse N-terminal domains. To understand the complexity of this family in crustaceans, we performed genome screening and identified 43 full-length FReDs encoding genes in Litopenaeus vannamei. Structural classification analysis revealed these putative FReDs could be divided into six types, including two reported types (LvFReDI and II) and four new types (LvFReDIII-VI).

Seed shattering (SS) functions are a survival mechanism in plants, enabling them to withstand adverse environmental conditions and ensure reproduction. However, this trait limits seed yield. , a perennial forage grass with many favorable traits, is constrained by SS, limiting its broader application.
