Sugarcane is of important economic value for producing sugar and bioethanol. (old name: ) is an intergeneric wild species of sugarcane that has desirable resistance traits for improving sugarcane varieties. However, the scarcity of chromosome markers has hindered the cytogenetic study of . Here we applied maize chromosome painting probes (MCPs) to identify chromosomes in sorghum and using a repeated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) system. Sequential FISH revealed that these MCPs can be used as reliable chromosome markers for , even though has diverged from maize over 18 MYs (million years). Using these MCPs, we identified chromosomes based on their sequence similarity compared to sorghum and labeled them 1 through 10. Then, the karyotype of was established by multiple oligo-FISH. Furthermore, FISH results revealed that 5S rDNA and 35S rDNA are localized on chromosomes 5 and 6, respectively, in . Altogether, these results represent an essential step for further cytogenetic research of in sugarcane breeding.

Unlabelled: Accurate methods to assess viral viability are crucial for determining isolation duration and antiviral therapy in immunocompromised patients. Although cell culture (CC) is the gold standard, it has limitations. Cycle threshold (Ct) values from genomic RNA (gRNA) RT-PCR and subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) RT-PCR have been proposed as markers of active viral replication.

Introduction: Identifying genetic markers associated with economically important traits in dairy goats helps enhance breeding efficiency, thereby increasing industry value. However, the potential genetic structure of key economic traits in dairy goats is still largely unknown.
Methods: This study used three genome-wide association study (GWAS) models (GLM, MLM, FarmCPU) to analyze dairy goat milk production traits (milk yield, fat percentage, protein percentage, lactose percentage, ash percentage, total dry matter, and somatic cell count).

The Tahe red deer (TRD), domesticated and artificially raised from wild Tarim red deer, is valued for its high-quality antlers and ability to survive tough desert conditions. Nowadays, the decline in the population of TRD has significantly impacted their genetic diversity, posing a serious threat to their conservation and utilization. However, information based on whole-genome sequencing data of TRD is scarce, and the mechanisms underlying adaptive characteristics remain poorly understood.
