Wellcome Open Res

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

Published: December 2024

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of (the pear; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Rosaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 487.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 443.53 kilobases and 159.93 kilobases, respectively. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 37,713 protein-coding genes.

Dietary protein absorption in neonatal mammals and fishes relies on the function of a specialized and conserved population of highly absorptive lysosome-rich enterocytes (LREs). The gut microbiome has been shown to enhance absorption of nutrients, such as lipids, by intestinal epithelial cells. However, whether protein absorption is also affected by the gut microbiome is poorly understood.

Contrasting with most bird species that present an ancestral-like karyotype (with 2n = 80), the only extant Cariamidae birds, the Red-legged (Cariama cristata) and Black-legged (Chunga burmeisteri) Seriemas, have high 2n and atypically large Z chromosomes. This study combined cytogenetic, bioinformatic, and genomic analyses to examine the distinctive characteristics of an unusual bird karyotype, with a focus on repetitive elements and sex chromosomes. Whole-genome alignments and chromosomal painting with a Z-chromosome-specific probe were also performed against the emu (a species with an ancestral-like karyotype).

Importance: Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) could contribute to developing gene-targeted therapies.

Objective: To investigate associations between demographic data and age at first keratoplasty in a genetically refined FECD cohort.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study recruited 894 individuals with FECD at Moorfields Eye Hospital (London) and General University Hospital (Prague) from September 2009 to July 2023.

The global spread of extended-spectrum cephalosporinase-producing (producing extended-spectrum -lactamase or plasmid-borne AmpC, hereafter ESC-Ec) is a major public health concern. Whilst extensively studied in high-income countries, the transmission pathways between humans and animals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain unclear. In rural Cambodia, the asymptomatic carriage and transmission dynamics of ESC-Ec between humans and animals living in close proximity are poorly understood, highlighting the need for targeted research in this area.
