We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a 29.7 kb segment from the right arm of chromosome II carried by the cosmid alpha 61. The sequence encodes the 3' region of the IRA1 gene and 13 complete open reading frames, of which ten correspond to new genes and three (CIF1, ATPsv and CKS1) have been sequenced previously. The density of protein coding sequences is particularly high and corresponds to 84% of the total length. Two new genes encode membrane proteins, one of which is particularly large, 273 kDa. In one case (ATPsv), the comparison of our sequence and the published sequence reveals significant differences.

Background: The Tephritidae family, commonly referred to as true fruit flies, comprises of a substantial group within order Diptera. Numerous species within this family are major agricultural pests, with a tendency to infest a wide array of fruits and vegetables in tropical and sub- tropical regions, leading to considerable damage and consequent reductions in the market value of the crops.
Methods And Results: The current study was aimed to propose a promising solution to the menace posed by fruit flies by offering rapid, accurate and reliable species identification by using character-based DNA barcode methodology.

Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) is a highly contagious virus in canines, and it is mostly spread by touching infected feces. Dogs of all ages can catch it, but puppies are more likely to suffer from it. Severe signs include vomiting, diarrhea with blood, feeling tired, and not drinking enough water.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential element for plant growth and development. Identifying functional gene loci associated with nitrogen absorption and utilization in sugar cane can facilitate the development of nutrient-efficient sugar cane varieties. In this study, sugar cane seedlings were subjected to normal and low nitrogen stress treatments within a hydroponic system for the identification of candidate genes related to six root-associated traits using a diversity population of 297 accessions.

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid secondary structures formed by guanine-rich DNA or RNA sequences. These structures play pivotal roles in cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, RNA splicing, and protein translation. High-throughput sequencing has significantly advanced the study of G4s by enabling genome-wide mapping and detailed characterization.

The mechanisms underlying antigen receptor germline gene diversification have always been a topic of intensive study. Here, we discovered that the frequency of stem-loop sequences in the antigen receptor germline gene region is remarkably higher than the genomic background. By analyzing these stem-loop sequences' similarity and distribution patterns, we found that clustered regularly interspaced homologous stem-loop pairs (CRIHSP) are widely present on the germline genes of antigen receptors in different species.
