We report a rapid and accurate quantitative detection method using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) technology to identify cassava adulteration in starch products. The ddPCR analysis showed that the weight of cassava (M) and cassava-extracted DNA content had a significant linear relationship-the correlation coefficient was R2 = 0.995, and the maximum coefficient of variation of replicates was 7.48%. The DNA content and DNA copy number (C) measured by ddPCR also had a linear relationship with R2 = 0.992; the maximum coefficient of variation of replicates was 8.85%. The range of cassava ddPCR DNA content was 25 ng/μL, and the formula M = (C + 32.409)/350.579 was obtained by converting DNA content into the median signal. The accuracy and application potential of the method were verified using the constructed adulteration model.

Unscheduled whole genome duplication (WGD), also described as unscheduled or non-physiological polyploidy, can lead to genetic instability and is commonly observed in human cancers. WGD generates DNA damage due to scaling defects between replication factors and DNA content. As a result DNA damage repair mechanisms are thought to be critical for ensuring cell viability and proliferation under these conditions.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) poses a significant threat to global public health, necessitating alternative therapeutic strategies. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel lytic bacteriophage (phage), vB_EcoM_51, from poultry farm sewage and evaluated its potential against MDR . Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the phage exhibits morphological features typical of the family, including a polyhedral head (∼66.

Five bacterial strains, designated as RCAD1438, RCAD1439, RCAD1670, RCAD1671 and RCAD1672, were isolated from the upper respiratory tract of ducks in Anhui, Shaanxi and Sichuan, China. All strains are Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic and capsulated. They grow optimally at 37 °C and pH 7.

Importance: Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) are chromosomal abnormalities with high mortality rates in the first year of life. Understanding differences in long-term survival between children with full vs mosaic or partial trisomy is crucial for prognosis and health care planning.
Objective: To examine the differences in 10-year survival between children with full T13 and T18 vs those with mosaic or partial trisomy.

Vertebrate animals and many small DNA and single-stranded RNA viruses that infect vertebrates have evolved to suppress genomic CpG dinucleotides. All organisms and most viruses additionally suppress UpA dinucleotides in protein-coding RNA. Synonymously recoding viral genomes to introduce CpG or UpA dinucleotides has emerged as an approach for viral attenuation and vaccine development.
