A major fraction of the human 5S rRNA genes has previously been assigned to chromosome region 1q42.11-->q42.13 (Sørensen et al., 1991). Through in situ hybridization of different tritiated probes to metaphase spreads, we have demonstrated that a minor fraction of the 5S rRNA genes is localized at band 1q31. This fraction amounts to 25-30% of the genes found in the region 1q42.11-->q42.13. Results obtained with the chromosomes of a balanced translocation carrier involving this region indicate that the major cluster is localized in band 1q42.13.

Background: General conditions in a prison may facilitate water- or food-borne infections.
Methods: Detection of intestinal parasites was achieved in 471 male prison inmates by standard microscopic procedures on their stool samples. Positive samples were processed by PCR amplification of a 600-bp fragment of the SSU rRNA gene and partial sequences of the genes.

is a plant distributed at meadow or wetland. Our study reports the complete chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of is a typical tetrameric structure with a total length of 159,843 bp, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,350 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 13,151 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 31,171 bp.

Objectives: Nepenthes, sometimes known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, is a carnivorous plant genus that contains more than 160 species. Nepenthes khasiana, India's sole representative of the genus, is a rare and endangered dioecious plant endemic to North-east India. Despite the fact that it is a prominent insectivorous plant in the Nepenthaceae family, genomic resources for the species are limited, making genomic breeding and understanding the genetic basis of botanical carnivory difficult.

The extensive use of antibiotics has led to their frequent detection as residues in the environment. However, monitoring of their levels in groundwater and the associated ecological and health risks remains limited, and the impact of river pollution on groundwater is still unclear. This study focused on the highly urbanized Maozhou River and its groundwater.

G-quadruplex (G4) structure is a nucleic acid secondary structure formed by guanine-rich sequences, playing essential roles in various biological processes such as gene regulation and environmental stress adaptation. Although prokaryotes growing at high temperatures have higher GC contents, the pattern of G4 structure associated with GC content variation in thermal adaptation remains elusive. This study analyzed 681 bacterial genomes to explore the role of G4 structures in thermal adaptation.
