Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) affects a substantial proportion of individuals with diabetes mellitus and represents the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Familial aggregation studies consistently demonstrate that genetic factors con...
Background/Objectives: Milk somatic cells reflect the cellular composition and functional state of the lactating mammary gland and represent a valuable, non-invasive source for transcriptomic studies. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables ce...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most significant global threats to public health, food safety, and environmental sustainability [...]
Background/Objectives: Thoracic aortic aneurysms have long been associated with germline mutations such as FBN1, TGFBR2, and COL3A1, which predispose to Marfan, Loeys–Dietz, and Ehlers–Danlos syndromes, respectively. However, recent resea...
Background/Objectives: Intramuscular fat deposition is a key determinant of beef quality in Japanese Black cattle, and the fat area ratio of the rib eye (FAR) is highly correlated with Beef Marbling Standard scores. Methods: To identify genetic varia...
Objectives: Peduncle length (PL) is a critical agronomic trait in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], influencing mechanical harvesting efficiency. Exploration of the PL genetic mechanism and the PL major genes of sorghum can provide a reference f...
Background/Objectives: Ticks evade host hemostasis and immunity in part by injecting serine protease inhibitors (serpins) into the host during feeding, yet the genomic organization of tick serpins has remained unresolved. To understand how ticks depl...
Background: Heimler syndrome (HS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder representing the mildest end of the peroxisome biogenesis disorder spectrum. It is caused by hypomorphic mutations in peroxisomal assembly genes, most commonly PEX1 and PEX6, an...
