Comparative Genomic Analysis of Tigecycline Resistance Development in Clinical Isolates.

Objective: This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the reduced tigecycline sensitivity of strains isolated from infected patients during antimicrobial therapy. The goal is to provide clinical insights into the development of tigecycline resistance in , with a focus on multidrug-resistant strains commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections.

Methods: We conducted dynamic tracking of multidrug-resistant (MDR-AB) infections in three patients to monitor changes in tigecycline sensitivity during antimicrobial therapy.

Single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics identify brain landscape of gene regulatory networks associated with behavioral maturation in honeybees.

Animal behavior is linked to the gene regulatory network (GRN) coordinating gene expression in the brain. Eusocial honeybees, with their natural behavioral plasticity, provide an excellent model for exploring the connection between brain activity and behavior. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we analyze the expression patterns of brain cells associated with the behavioral maturation from nursing to foraging.

Revealing the regulation of allergic asthma airway epithelial cell inflammation by STEAP4 targeting MIF through machine learning algorithms and single-cell sequencing analysis.

Asthma comprises one of the most common chronic inflammatory conditions, yet still lacks effective diagnostic markers and treatment targets. To gain deeper insights, we comprehensively analyzed microarray datasets of airway epithelial samples from asthmatic patients and healthy subjects in the Gene Expression Omnibus database using three machine learning algorithms. Our investigation identified a pivotal gene, .

Emergence of a novel sequence type carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent ST6417 harboring on the lncX3 plasmid.

Unlabelled: Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent (CR-hvKP) is a significant pathogen causing major public health problems worldwide. This study characterized a novel sequence type 6417 (ST6471) CR-hvKP strain recovered from the blood of a male patient with septicemia. Strain CR2021 is not susceptible to carbapenems, cephalosporin, sulfonamides, quinolones, or levofloxacin and is susceptible to amikacin and tigecycline.

Massively targeted evaluation of therapeutic CRISPR off-targets in cells.

Methods for sensitive and high-throughput evaluation of CRISPR RNA-guided nucleases (RGNs) off-targets (OTs) are essential for advancing RGN-based gene therapies. Here we report SURRO-seq for simultaneously evaluating thousands of therapeutic RGN OTs in cells. SURRO-seq captures RGN-induced indels in cells by pooled lentiviral OTs libraries and deep sequencing, an approach comparable and complementary to OTs detection by T7 endonuclease 1, GUIDE-seq, and CIRCLE-seq.

A Brief Overview of Global Trends in MSC-Based Cell Therapy.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), also known as mesenchymal stromal cells or medicinal signaling cells, are important adult stem cells for regenerative medicine, largely due to their regenerative characteristics such as self-renewal, secretion of trophic factors, and the capability of inducing mesenchymal cell lineages. MSCs also possess homing and trophic properties modulating immune system, influencing microenvironment around damaged tissues and enhancing tissue repair, thus offering a broad perspective in cell-based therapies. Therefore, it is not surprising that MSCs have been the broadly used adult stem cells in clinical trials.

A Bacterial Genome and Culture Collection of Gut Microbial in Weanling Piglet.

The microbiota hosted in the pig gastrointestinal tract are important to health of this biomedical model. However, the individual species and functional repertoires that make up the pig gut microbiome remain largely undefined. Here we comprehensively investigated the genomes and functions of the piglet gut microbiome using culture-based and metagenomics approaches.

Comparative analysis of clonal evolution among patients with right- and left-sided colon and rectal cancer.

Tumor multiregion sequencing reveals intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) and clonal evolution playing a key role in tumor progression and metastases. Large-scale high-depth multiregional sequencing of colorectal cancer, comparative analysis among patients with right-sided colon cancer (RCC), left-sided colon cancer (LCC), and rectal cancer (RC), as well as the study of lymph node metastasis (LN) with extranodal tumor deposits (ENTDs) from evolutionary perspective remain weakly explored. Here, we recruited 68 patients with RCC (18), LCC (20), and RC (30).

A Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of the Anglerfish .

Anglerfishes are a highly diverse group of species with unique characteristics. Here, we report the first chromosome-level genome of a species in the order Lophiiformes, the yellow goosefish (), obtained by whole genome shotgun sequencing and high-throughput chromatin conformation capture. Approximately 97.

Family-Based Whole Genome Sequencing Identified Novel Variants in ABCA5 Gene in a Patient with Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia.

Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (IVT) is the major cause of sudden cardiac death. Patients with IVT were usually manifested without structural heart disease. In this present study, we performed family-based whole genome sequencing (WGS) and Sanger sequencing for a 5-year-old Chinese boy with IVT and all the unaffected family members in order to identify the candidate gene and disease-causing mutation underlying the disease phenotype.

Identification and functional characterization of mutations in LPL gene causing severe hypertriglyceridaemia and acute pancreatitis.

Hypertriglyceridaemia is a very rare disorder caused by the mutations of LPL gene, with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Here, we identified two unrelated Chinese patients manifested with severe hypertriglyceridaemia and acute pancreatitis. The clinical symptoms of proband 1 are more severe than proband 2.

Egg quality and egg albumen property of domestic chicken, duck, goose, turkey, quail, and pigeon.

Poultry eggs from different species varied significantly, due to their divergent process of evolution. However, the information on egg characteristics has been limited mostly to chicken. The current study compared the egg quality, albumen physical and nutritional property for domesticated chicken, duck, goose, turkey, quail, and pigeon.

The first chromosome-level genome for a marine mammal as a resource to study ecology and evolution.

Marine mammals are important models for studying convergent evolution and aquatic adaption, and thus reference genomes of marine mammals can provide evolutionary insights. Here, we present the first chromosome-level marine mammal genome assembly based on the data generated by the BGISEQ-500 platform, for a stranded female sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus). Using this reference genome, we performed chromosome evolution analysis of the sperm whale, including constructing ancestral chromosomes, identifying chromosome rearrangement events and comparing with cattle chromosomes, which provides a resource for exploring marine mammal adaptation and speciation.

Divergent Proteome Patterns of Egg Albumen from Domestic Chicken, Duck, Goose, Turkey, Quail and Pigeon.

To uncover a diversity of genetic and biological unknowns, a comprehensive and comparative proteomic analysis is performed on egg albumen of domestic chicken, duck, goose, turkey, quail, and pigeon with tandem mass tags quantification technology. In this study, a total of 148, 138, 150, 162, 183, and 179 proteins are identified in egg albumen of the above six species, respectively. Venn plots, PCA, and cluster analysis all reveal the highest similarity of protein composition between duck and goose (≈75%).
