Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the existence condition of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) termination codon bias.
Methods: A total of 174 reference sequences of all kinds of Hepatitis B virus(HBV) genotypes were chosen from GenBank, and compared by BioEdit. Then secondary structure of RNA was constructed and analyzed together.
Results: (1) There were two types of HBsAg termination codon: TAA and TGA in 174 reference sequences. TAA was in 124 cases (71.26%); and TGA in 50 cases (28.74%). (2) There was codon bias selection in HBsAg termination codon, and it could affect the secondary structure of RNA and amino acid sequence encoding protein.
Conclusion: HBsAg termination codon bias exists and may be related to RNA structure and the conservation of protein function in the evolutionary progress.

Background: Labeo fimbriatus (Bloch, 1795) is a medium-sized South Asian minor carp with ecological significance and emerging aquaculture potential, particularly in polyculture systems with Indian major carps. Despite its wide distribution, it remains underrepresented in phylogenetic studies, and limited genomic resources are available. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L.

We show that this purine preference is critical for gene expression because it prevents premature transcription termination in species that exhibit runaway transcription. In contrast to coupled transcription-translation , runaway RNA polymerases that outpace trailing ribosomes have exposed nascent RNA and are vulnerable to the termination factor Rho .

The ribosome-associated endoribonuclease 1 (Rae1) cleaves messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in a translation-dependent manner. Here, we identify a new Rae1 target, the fliY mRNA, which is cleaved by Rae1 in the absence of the elongation factor P. The Rae1 site was mapped 12 nucleotides upstream of the second proline codon of an SPP stalling motif in fliY.

Objective: To explore the clinical presentation and genetic etiology of a child with intellectual disability, speech developmental delay, learning difficulties, behavioral stereotype, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and to identify new variants.
Methods And Results: In this study, Karyotype and copy number variant sequencing (CNV-seq) were performed to detect chromosome abnormalities in this family. The whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to investigate additional genetic variants in this family.

While Cas9 and Cas12a are both RNA-guided endonucleases used for genome editing, only Cas12a is able to process pre-crRNA via its additional ribonuclease activity. This feature reduces the complexity of Cas12a versus Cas9-based genome editing systems thus providing an attractive alternative for generating site-specific mutations in plants. Here we aimed to improve the efficiency of the cas12a-based generation of two double-strand breaks flanking the open reading frame of a target gene, leading to its full deletion.
