Gene cloning is an important step in investigating gene structure and function. To verify gene sequence, Sanger sequencing is used, which may produce several overlapping sequencing files that need to be merged before alignment to the target gene sequence is performed. Previously, we reported the Python program to Merge Sanger sequences (https://peerj.com/articles/11354/), which ran in command line and relied heavily on EMBOSS suite. In this updated version of the program, we have made several remarkable improvements. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) written with tkinter, which is convenient and stable. It does not require users to rename the input sequences before performing merging. With regard to the implementation, the updated version utilizes Python function (Align.PairwiseAligner) to align adjacent sequences, which is more flexible (can adjust program parameter , the number of first-time consecutive matching bases). The new version of the program makes merging Sanger sequences much more convenient and facilitates gene study.

The specific expression profile and function of circular RNA (circRNA) in follicular atresia remain largely unknown. Here, the circRNA expression profiles of granulosa cells derived from healthy follicles (HFs) and antral follicles (AFs) in buffalo were analyzed by RNA-seq, and the mechanism of a differentially expressed circRNA (DEcircRNA) circTEC regulating the granulosa cell function that affects follicular atresia was further explored. RNA-seq results showed that a total of 112 DEcircRNAs were identified.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, characterized by its poor prognosis. Glycolipid metabolism is strongly associated with GBM development and malignant behavior. However, the precise functions of snoRNAs and ADARs in glycolipid metabolism within GBM cells remain elusive.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease that affects synovial tissues has greater risk of developing secondary osteoporosis (OP). In particular, polymorphisms in Adenosine Monophosphate Deaminase 1 (AMPD1) and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) affect the outcome of methotrexate (MTX) treatment in patients with RA. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association of AMPD1 rs17602729, MTHFR C677T, and MTHFR A1298C polymorphisms with MTX activity in RA patients.

Objective: Ichthyosis are complex skin diseases, characterized by hyperkeratosis with various degrees of thickening, desquamation, and erythema. The prenatal diagnosis of ichthyosis is challenged due to the clinical and genetic heterogeneity and the late-onset of fetal features on ultrasound scan. Here, we reported two fetuses with Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), a severe subtype of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), who were diagnosed prenatally by images and genetic investigations.
