Article Abstract
Microsatellites are useful in studies of population genetics, sibship, and parentage. Here, we screened for microsatellites from multiple elasmobranch genomic libraries using an enrichment protocol followed by sequencing on an Illumina platform. We concurrently screened five and then nine genomes and describe the number of potential loci from each respective round of sequencing. To validate the efficacy of the protocol, we developed and tested primers for the pelagic thresher shark, Alopias pelagicus. The method described here is a cost-effective protocol to increase the pool of potential useful loci and allows the concurrent screening of multiple libraries.

Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) causes embryonic lethality in arthropods, resulting in a significant reduction in reproductive success. In most cases, this reproductive failure is driven by Wolbachia endosymbionts through their cifA/cifB gene pair, whose products disrupts arthropod DNA replication during embryogenesis. While a cif pair has been considered a hallmark of Wolbachia, its presence and functional significance in other bacterial lineages remains poorly investigated.

Global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production faces significant challenges due to the destructive nature of leaf (Puccinia triticina; leaf rust [Lr]), stem (Puccinia graminis; stem rust [Sr]), and stripe (Puccinia striiformis; stripe rust [Yr]) rust diseases. Despite ongoing efforts to develop resistant varieties, these diseases remain a persistent challenge due to their highly evolving nature.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) treatment remains a significant challenge. This study aimed to identify potential druggable genes for IS using a systematic druggable genome-wide Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Two-sample MR analysis was conducted to identify the causal association between potential druggable genes and IS.
