The prostrate cultivars of ground-cover chrysanthemum have been used in landscape gardening due to their small stature, large crown width and strong branching ability. qRT-PCR is a rapid and powerful tool for gene expression analysis, while its accuracy highly depends on the stability of reference genes. The paucity of authentic reference genes presents a major hurdle in understanding the genetic regulators of prostrate architecture. Therefore, in order to reveal the regulatory mechanism of prostrate growth of chrysanthemum stems, here, stable reference genes were selected for expression analysis of key genes involved in shoot development and graviresponse. Based on transcriptome data, eleven reference genes with relatively stable expression were identified as the candidate reference genes. After the comprehensive analysis of the stability of these reference genes with four programs (geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder), we found that TIP41 was the most stable reference gene in all of the samples. SAND was determined as a superior reference gene in different genotypes and during the process of shoot development. The optimal reference gene for gravitropic response was PP2A-1. In addition, the expression patterns of LA1 and PIN1 further verified the reliability of the screened reference genes. These results can provide more accurate and reliable qRT-PCR normalization for future studies on the expression patterns of genes regulating plant architecture of chrysanthemums.

Despite advancements in genome annotation tools, challenges persist for non-classical model organisms with limited genomic resources, such as Schmidtea mediterranea. To address these challenges, we developed a flexible and scalable genome annotation pipeline that integrates short-read (Illumina) and long-read (PacBio) sequencing technologies. The pipeline combines reference-based and de novo assembly methods, effectively handling genomic variability and alternative splicing events.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Purpose: Tumor comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) may detect potential germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) alterations as secondary findings. We analyzed the frequency of potentially germline variants and large rearrangements (LRs) in the RATIONAL study, an Italian multicenter, observational clinical trial that collects next-generation sequencing-based tumor profiling data, and evaluated how these findings were managed by the enrolling centers.
Patients And Methods: Patients prospectively enrolled in the pathway-B of the RATIONAL study and undergoing CGP with the FoundationOne CDx assays were included in the analysis.

Adolescents and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those with genetic kidney diseases, face unique challenges as they transition from pediatric to adult nephrology care. This period is marked not only by changes in healthcare providers but also by significant developmental, psychosocial, and medical complexities. In response, the ERA Working Group on Genes and Kidney and the ESPN Working Group on Inherited Kidney Diseases have collaborated to develop practical advice for healthcare professionals involved in transition care across Europe and beyond.

Unlabelled: There is a considerable interest in the association between and colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, it was suggested that this association is valid only for a distinct clade of ( C2) and that strains belonging to another clade ( C1) are only associated with the oral cavity. It was further suggested that this made C1 a natural comparator when looking for candidate genes associated with the pathogenicity of C2.
