Article Abstract
Background: Gene expression profiling via qPCR is an essential tool for unraveling the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying growth and development. Identifying and validating the most appropriate reference genes is essential for qPCR experiments. Nevertheless, there exists a deficiency in a thorough assessment of reference genes concerning the expression of the genes in the research in the context of the growth and development of the Black Tiger Shrimp, P. monodon. This popular marine crustacean is extensively raised for human consumption. In this study, we assessed the expression stability of seven reference genes (ACTB, 18S, EF-1α, AK, PK, cox1, and CLTC) in adult tissues (hepatopancreas, gills, and stomach) of small and large polymorphs of P. monodon.
Methods And Results: The stability of gene expressions was assessed utilizing NormFinder, BestKeeper, and geNorm, and a comprehensive ranking of these genes was conducted through the online tool RefFinder. In the overall ranking, 18S and CLTC emerged as the most stable genes in the hepatopancreas and stomach, while CLTC and AK exhibited significant statistical reliability in the gills of adult P. monodon. The validation of these identified stable genes was carried out using a growth-associated gene, insr-1.
Conclusion: The results indicated that 18S and CLTC stand out as the most versatile reference genes for conducting qPCR analysis focused on the growth of P. monodon. This study represents the first comprehensive exploration that identifies and assesses reference genes for qPCR analysis in P. monodon, providing valuable tools for research involving similar crustaceans.

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.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests vitamin D plays a dual role in immune regulation, yet its interplay with genetic susceptibility in early-life allergy development remains poorly understood. This prospective cohort study investigated whether cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels interact with immunoregulatory gene variants to influence childhood food allergy risk.
Methods: A total of 1,049 mother-infant pairs from the Shanghai Allergy Cohort were stratified by cord blood 25(OH)D concentrations (<15, 15-25, >25 ng/mL).

Background And Aim: is a Gram-negative bacterium causing systemic infections in ducks, often treated with quinolones. However, increasing resistance to quinolones poses a threat to effective treatment, and the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain inadequately understood in Thailand. This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin; identify mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions of and ; and detect () genes in isolates from Thai ducks.

Plasmids facilitate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene spread via horizontal gene transfer, yet the mobility of genes in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) resistomes remains unclear. We sequenced 173 circularised plasmids transferred from WWTP effluent into Escherichia coli and characterised their genetic content. Multiple multidrug-resistant plasmids were identified, with a significant number of mega-plasmids (>100 kb).
