Orbitides, also known as Caryophyllaceae-type cyclic peptides, from Traditional Chinese Medicine plant Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Mil.) Pax have great potential for improving memory and treating diabetes. Orbitides are ribosomally encoded and post-translationally modified peptides, but this key biosynthesis enzyme is still unknown in P.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever (ASF), a severe hemorrhagic disease with a mortality rate reaching 100%. Despite extensive research on ASFV mechanisms, no safe and effective vaccines or antiviral treatments have been developed. Live attenuated vaccines generated via gene deletion are considered to be highly promising.

The Korshinsk peashrub (Caragana korshinskii), known for its exceptional drought tolerance, is widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions for vegetation restoration and as a vital forage plant. To elucidate the genomic basis of its drought tolerance, we generated a chromosomal-scale genome sequence of C. korshinskii.

The unexplained association between infection and autoimmune disease is strongest for hepatitis C virus-induced cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (HCV-cryovas). To analyze its origins, we traced the evolution of pathogenic rheumatoid factor (RF) autoantibodies in four HCV-cryovas patients by deep single-cell multi-omic analysis, revealing three sources of B cell somatic mutation converged to drive the accumulation of a large disease-causing clone. A method for quantifying low-affinity binding revealed recurring antibody variable domain combinations created by V(D)J recombination that bound self-immunoglobulin G (IgG) but not viral E2 antigen.

The requirement of in vitro tissue culture for the delivery of gene editing reagents limits the application of gene editing to commercially relevant varieties of many crop species. To overcome this bottleneck, plant RNA viruses have been deployed as versatile tools for in planta delivery of recombinant RNA. Viral delivery of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to transgenic plants that stably express CRISPR-associated (Cas) endonuclease has been successfully used for targeted mutagenesis in several dicotyledonous and few monocotyledonous plants.
