Bacterial microbiome diversity along poultry slaughtering lines: insights from chicken carcasses and environmental sources.
J Vet Res
September 2024
Department of Network Technologies, Turkish Academic Network and Information Center, Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBiTAK ULAKBİM), 06800 Ankara, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at the variety of bacteria on chicken carcasses and in the area around them during different stages of the slaughter process.
- Researchers collected samples from different points at a chicken processing plant in Turkey over a few months to see how bacterial populations changed.
- They found that bacteria increased after chilling and storage, and that the most bacteria were on the chicken after it was stored, which can help identify where contamination might happen during slaughtering.
PHACTboost: A Phylogeny-Aware Pathogenicity Predictor for Missense Mutations via Boosting.
Mol Biol Evol

Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University, Istanbul 34956, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Many algorithms predicting variant effects depend on evolutionary conservation but often neglect the context of substitution events in their calculations.
- The new approach, PHACTboost, enhances the previous method, PHACT, by using gradient boosting, combining scores from multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees, and ancestral reconstructions.
- PHACTboost has shown to significantly outperform over 40 existing pathogenicity predictors, especially in challenging cases with conflicting results, and it provides predictions for a vast number of amino acid alterations across numerous proteins.
Investigating the influence of collagen cross-linking on mechanical properties of thoracic aortic tissue.

Medical Research Institute, Pusan National University, Busan, Republic of Korea.
Vascular diseases, such as abdominal aortic aneurysms, are associated with tissue degeneration of the aortic wall, resulting in variations in mechanical properties, such as tissue ultimate stress and a high slope. Variations in the mechanical properties of tissues may be associated with an increase in the number of collagen cross-links. Understanding the effect of collagen cross-linking on tissue mechanical properties can significantly aid in predicting diseased aortic tissue rupture and improve the clarity of decisions regarding surgical procedures.
