R-loops, three-stranded RNA-DNA hybrid nucleic acid structures, are recognized for their roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Regulation of R-loops is critical for genome stability as disruption of R-loop homeostasis can lead to aberrant gene expression, replication stress, and DN...

Insect pests inflict significant agricultural and economic losses on crops globally. Chemical control refers to the use of agrochemicals, such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, to manage pests and diseases. Chemical control is still the prioritized method, as insecticides are highly effec...

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...
