Using 48 Macaca rhesus undergone acute single does and prolonged small dose daily irradiation, a long-term preservation of reconstructions in the pair of marker nucleolus-forming chromosomes has been shown. The animals were examined in different periods from irradiation, ranging from 3 months to 16.5 years. The frequency of retained reconstructions in the long arms of chromosomes was reliably above the frequency of alterations in the short arms. Reconstructions in the long arms of the marker chromosome were seen in the heterochromatin area after differential chromosome staining. Alterations in the functionally active area of the short arms of the marker chromosome retained extremely rarely being observed only in monkeys that survived through long-term small-dose irradiation.

Drug resistance resulting from mutations in Plasmodium falciparum, that caused the failure of previously effective malaria drugs, has continued to threaten the global malaria elimination goal. This study describes the profiles of P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (Pfcrt) and P.

Rare bone diseases are clinically and genetically heterogenous. Despite those differences, the underlying pathophysiology is not infrequently different. Several of these diseases are characterized by abnormal bone metabolism and turnover with subsequent abnormalities in markers of bone turnover, rendering them useful adjuncts in the diagnostic process.

This study addresses the use of other echinocandins as surrogate markers to predict the susceptibility of rezafungin against the six most common spp. The Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference broth microdilution method was performed to test 5,720 clinical isolates of six different species. Species-specific interpretative criteria by CLSI breakpoints or epidemiological cutoff values were applied.

Background: Cholelithiasis is influenced by various factors, including genetic elements identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but their biological functions are not fully understood.
Methods: Analyzing data from the Finngen database with 37,041 cholelithiasis cases and 330,903 controls, this study combined SNP data from GTEx v8 and linkage disequilibrium data from the 1000 Genomes Project. Using the TWAS FUSION protocol and SMR analysis, it investigated the relationship between gene expression and cholelithiasis, employing colocalization tests and conditional analyses to explore causality.

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments imparting red, orange, and yellow hues to many horticultural plants, also enhancing their nutritional properties and health benefits. In strawberry, the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating the natural variation of fruit carotenoid composition remain largely unexplored. In this study, we use a population segregating in yellow/white flesh to detect a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), qYellow Flesh-4B, located on chromosome 4B and accounting for 82% of total phenotypic variation.
