DNA markers serve as essential tools in breeding selection and genetic analysis. However, developing DNA markers can be time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the need to identify polymorphisms between cultivars/lines and to design suitable primers. To address these challenges, we have developed DNAMarkMaker, a tool designed to automate the process of primer design for Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) and Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences (CAPS) markers, utilizing resequencing data. One key feature of DNAMarkMaker is its user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI), ensuring its accessibility and ease of use, even for researchers not well-versed in bioinformatics. We confirmed DNAMarkMaker's applicability by developing DNA markers for rice, potato, and turnip-each representing distinct genome structures: homozygous diploid, heterozygous autotetraploid, and heterozygous diploid, respectively. DNAMarkMaker will contribute to the rapid and efficient development of DNA markers, accelerating breeding and genetic analysis in various crops.

The climate change-associated abnormal weather patterns negatively influences the productivity and performance of farm animals. Heat stress is the major detrimental factor hampering production, causing substantial economic loss to the livestock industry. Therefore, it is important to identify heat-tolerant breeds that can survive and produce optimally in any given environment.

The Silway River has historically failed to meet safe fecal coliform levels due to improper waste disposal. The river mouth is located in General Santos City, the tuna capital of the Philippines and a leading producer of hogs, cattle, and poultry. The buildup of contaminants due to direct discharge of waste from chicken farms and existing water quality conditions has led to higher fecal matter in the Silway River.

Unlabelled: Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis of global distribution, capable of affecting both humans and animals, and caused by species of the genus spp. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and mating type distribution of clinical isolates of human sporotrichosis in Paraíba, Brazil, to better understand the population structure, epidemiology, and diversification of this pathogen, as well as to explore possible transmission routes.
Methods: A total of 36 clinical isolates were morphologically identified, and clinical and demographic data were collected.

Our study investigates the intra- and interpopulation diversity of phytopathogenic fungi, using as a model organism. A total of 136 strains, representing two populations, were collected from different winter cereal crops (rye, wheat, and triticale) across two agrocenoses. In these strains, we analyzed and compared genetic and phenotypic traits, exploring potential relationships between them.
