Yeast strains representing a novel asexual ascomycetous species were isolated from seven flowers. Sequencing of the chromosomal regions coding for the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit ribosomal RNA, the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 segments and parts of the gene coding for the small subunit ribosomal RNA showed that the isolates were conspecific.

Background: Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) quantifies the number of mitochondria genomes per nucleated cell, with reduced mtDNAcn being associated with increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology. Blood-based mtDNAcn has technical confounders, such as DNA purification, and biological confounders, such as compensatory upregulation of mtDNA. Therefore, we optimized a protocol for mtDNAcn quantification using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) by testing (i) whole peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) vs platelet-depleted PBMCs, (ii) column-based DNA extraction vs cell lysate, and (iii) mitochondrial DNA replication (mtDNArep).

Recent advancements in viral metagenomics and single-virus genomics have improved our ability to obtain the draft genomes of environmental viruses. However, these methods can introduce virus sequence contaminations into viral genomes when short, fragmented partial sequences are present in the assembled contigs. These contaminations can lead to incorrect analyses; however, practical detection tools are lacking.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a condition caused by damage to the basal uterine layer which can lead to partial or full occlusion of the uterine cavity. Although traditional treatment options have been useful in mild and moderate cases, they have been unsatisfactory in severe IUA cases. Therefore, it is essential to improve the treatment strategies of IUA.

Objective: Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are widely used as gene therapy vectors due to their safety, stability, and long-term expression characteristics. The objective of this work is to develop an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) as a universal platform for the separation and purification of AAVs.
Results: This study utilized polyethylene glycol (PEG)/salt ATPSs to separate and purify various AAV serotypes, including AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9, which focusing on serotype-specific performance and partial empty capsid removal.
