Zn-dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that regulate gene expression by removing acetyl groups from histone proteins. These enzymes are essential in all living systems, playing key roles in cancer treatment and as potential pesticide targets. Previous phylogenetic analyses of HDAC in certain species have been published. However, their classification and evolutionary origins across biological kingdoms remain unclear, which limits our understanding of them. In this study, we collected the HDAC sequences from 1451 organisms and performed analyses. The HDACs are found to diverge into three classes and seven subclasses under divergent selection pressure. Most subclasses show species specificity, indicating that HDACs have evolved with high plasticity and diversification to adapt to different environmental conditions in different species. In contrast, HDAC1 and HDAC3, belonging to the oldest class, are conserved and crucial in major kingdoms of life, especially HDAC1. These findings lay the groundwork for the future application of HDACs.

Comparative Evaluation of Open-Source Bioinformatics Pipelines for Full-Length Viral Genome Assembly.

Institute of Biology, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, 1117 Budapest, Hungary.
The increasingly widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical diagnostics and epidemiological research has generated a demand for robust, fast, automated, and user-friendly bioinformatics workflows. To guide the choice of tools for the assembly of full-length viral genomes from NGS datasets, we assessed the performance and applicability of four open-source bioinformatics pipelines (shiver-for which we created a user-friendly Dockerized version, referred to as dshiver; SmaltAlign; viral-ngs; and V-pipe) using both simulated and real-world HIV-1 paired-end short-read datasets and default settings. All four pipelines produced consensus genome assemblies with high quality metrics (genome fraction recovery, mismatch and indel rates, variant calling F1 scores) when the reference sequence used for assembly had high similarity to the analyzed sample.

Functional divergences of coding genes can be caused by divergences in their coding sequences and expression. However, whether and how expression divergences and coding sequence divergences coevolve is not clear. Gene expression divergences in differentiated cells and tissues recapitulate developmental models within a species, while gene expression divergences between analogous cells and tissues resemble traditional phylogenies in different species, suggesting that gene expression divergences are molecular traits that can be used for evolutionary studies.

The genus is distributed in the eastern three rivers on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and its adjacent regions, located to the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its origin and evolution are likely influenced by the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, the historical impact of geological events on the divergence and distribution of this fish group has not been fully elucidated.

This study had two purposes: (1) to develop a forced-choice personality inventory to assess student personality characteristics based on the five-factor (FFM) personality model and (2) to examine its factor structure via the Thurstonian Item Response Theory (TIRT) approach based on Thurstone's law of comparative judgment. A total of 200 items were generated to represent the five dimensions, and through Principal Axis Factoring and the composite reliability index, a final pool of 75 items was selected. These items were then organized into 25 blocks, each containing three statements (triplets) designed to balance social desirability across the blocks.

: A combination of increased human presence in the Arctic zone alongside climate change has led to a decrease in the number of wild reindeer (). Studying the genetic potential of this species will aid in conservation efforts, while simultaneously promoting improved meat productivity in domestic reindeer. Alongside reducing feed costs, increasing disease resistance, etc.
