Identifying targets of positive selection in farm animals has, until recently, been frustratingly slow, relying on the analysis of individual candidate genes. Genomics, however, has provided the necessary resources to systematically interrogate the entire genome for signatures of selection. This rev...

Certain root hemi-parasitic tree species hold significant economic value, yet they are challenging to cultivate artificially. Therefore, understanding how soil conditions and host plants influence the growth of these species is crucial. The endemic tree species Malania oleifera, native to the karst...

It has been found in engineering practice that the degree of rockburst risk increases when roadway excavation occurs near the stratigraphical boundary of different lithologies. This study uses the 1276 m deep-buried roadway of a lead–zinc mine in Yunnan, China, as its engineering background. Based o...

The classical visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) algorithms assume that the camera moves in a free 3D space, while it is not valid for ground vehicles whose poses are influenced by ground surfaces. In recent years, researchers have focused on improving pose estimation accuracy by ass...

Based on the law of pitting corrosion development speed and the accelerating effect of stress on corrosion current in the field coupon test, the differential equations of pitting corrosion speed and pit shape change law under stress were proposed and solved by numerical methods. Analysis results ind...

National Forest Parks (NFPs) on the outskirts of cities provide visitors with forest therapy and ecotourism experiences. However, the nonlinear and threshold effects of key landscape attributes on visitors’ positive emotions, as well as their seasonal and urban gradient variations, remain poorly und...

ABSTRACT Polyamine metabolism is a key regulator of cellular proliferation and immune modulation, and its dysregulation is implicated in multiple carcinoma pathogenesis. Macrophages also greatly influence tumor progression by regulating the immune microenvironment. However, the role of polyamine met...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Mutinus fleischeri Penz 1899, a rare fungal species of Phallales, was sequenced, assembled and annotated in this study. The mitochondrial genome of M. fleischeri was assembled as a circular DNA molecule with a length of 113,076 base pairs (bp). It encodes 47 prot...

In recent years, subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) has been found to frequently infect layers in China. This virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and decreased performance in chickens. In this study, 45-d-old cloned free-range layers were suspected to be infected with...

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, a kind of mycoplasma bacteria, commonly infects the respiratory tract causing respiratory disease in sheep and goats worldwide. Here, the complete genome sequence of M. ovipneumoniae strain NM2010 isolated from a sheep in China was reported for the first time.

Seasonal hair follicle activity and fibre growth in some Cashmere-bearing goats (Caprus hircus) is a cyclic process that is well characterized morphologically but understood incompletely at the molecular level. As an initial step in discovering regulators in hair-follicle activity and cycling, we us...

It is generally known that the culture for mycoplasma is time-consuming and a variety of nutrients are needed in the culture medium. This brings a lot of difficulties to mycoplasma research and application, including Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc). Furthermore, little research on the charact...
