Valencene, a high-value sesquiterpene with a citrus aroma, is widely employed in the food and cosmetic fields and the industrial synthesis of nootkatone. In this study, 16 genomic loci in the intergenic regions (IGRs) of were identified. A Ypet expression cassette was successfully integrated into various genomic loci by CRISPR-Cas9, with an impressive integration success rate of 87.50% and exhibiting expression variations of up to 1.91-fold depending on the insertion site. The study demonstrates that the positional effect exhibits relative stability in gene expression, and is essentially unaffected by changes in promoters and reporter genes. Furthermore, a high-expression element combination, P-T, was selected. The iterative integration of the valencene synthase gene from at the selected loci increased the valencene yield to 254.67 mg/L. Overexpression of key genes with multiple copies increased the valencene yield by 93.49%. The engineered strain L-13 achieved the valencene yield of 9 530.18 mg/L by two-stage fed-batch fermentation in a 3 L fermenter. This yield represents a nearly 100-fold increase compared with that of the starting strain, highlighting the significant potential of the screened genomic loci in optimizing valencene production.

Introduction: High-density Wheat 660 K and 90 K SNP arrays are powerful tools for understanding the genetic basis of wheat traits. However, their inconsistantly physical positions that were caused by different versions of Chinese Spring genome during developing arrays are confused and inconvenient for further application.
Objective: With the repid development of wheat geonome sequencing, we aim to reconciliate Wheat 660 K and 90 K SNP arrays in modern cultivar and reveal the genetic basis of dough rheological properties in bread wheat.
Genomic Prediction of Individual Inbreeding Levels for the Management of Genetic Diversity in Populations With Small Effective Size.

In populations of small effective size (N), such as those in conservation programmes, companion animals or livestock species, inbreeding control is essential. Homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) segments provide relevant information in that context, as they allow accurate estimation of the inbreeding coefficient, provide locus-specific information and their length is informative about the "age" of inbreeding. Our objective was to evaluate tools for predicting HBD in future offspring based on parental genotypes, a problem equivalent to identifying segments identical-by-descent (IBD) among the four parental chromosomes.

Here, we combined data on antidepressant non-response measured using rating scales for depressive symptoms, questionnaires of treatment effect, and data from electronic health records, to increase statistical power to detect genomic loci associated with non-response to antidepressants in a total sample of 135,471 individuals prescribed antidepressants (25,255 non-responders and 110,216 responders). We performed genome-wide association meta-analyses, genetic correlation analyses, leave-one-out polygenic prediction, and bioinformatics analyses for genetically informed drug prioritization.

Herein we performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy of 10,974 cases and 461,461 controls across European, Asian, African, and Latino ancestries. We identified ten significantly associated loci, of which six were novel ( , , , , , and and confirmed previous genome-wide significant associations with risk genes , , , and .
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition is widespread in many cancers, especially those with a high burden of chromosomal rearrangements. However, whether and to what degree L1 activity directly impacts genome integrity is unclear. Here, we apply whole-genome sequencing to experimental models of L1 expression to comprehensively define the spectrum of genomic changes caused by L1.
