The yellowfin seabream () is an economically important commercial mariculture fish in China and Southeast Asia. Only a few simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of have been isolated and reported, which has hindered breeding progress. A total of 318,862 SSRs were isolated and characterized from the genome in this study. All SSRs were 9,069,670 bp in length, accounting for 1.32% of the genome. The density and frequency of SSRs were 468.40 loci/Mb and 13,323.19 bp/Mb, respectively. The major SSRs were dinucleotides (accounting for 76.92%), followed by trinucleotides (15.75%). The most abundant SSR motif was (AC)n (168,390, accounting for 53%), with the highest frequency (245.78 loci/Mb) and density (7304.18 bp/Mb). Most SSRs were located in non-coding regions, such as intergenic regions (34.54%) and introns (56.91%). SSR-containing exons were distributed into 51 gene ontology (GO) terms and significantly enriched in immunity- and growth-related pathways. A total of 217,791 SSR markers were successfully designed. Nine SSR markers were amplified in 29 individuals, and eight of them possess high polymorphism. The cross-species transferability of 33 out of the 37 tested loci were successfully amplified in . These results lay the foundation for the molecular marker-assisted breeding and genetic information assessment of .

Background: The mental health of the older adult in western rural areas is an area of growing concern. Mental health, as defined by the World Health Organization, encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how individuals think, feel, and act. In this study, we operationalize mental health through four validated dimensions: depression (emotional well-being), anxiety (psychological stability), loneliness (social connectedness), and life satisfaction (overall subjective well-being), which together provide a comprehensive assessment of mental health status.

The mechanisms linking loneliness to frailty in older adults with diabetes remain unclear. Guided by the Loneliness-Health Outcomes Model, this study is the first to simultaneously validate the dual mechanisms (mediation and moderation) of social support in the loneliness-frailty relationship among older Chinese adults with diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled 442 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years with type 2 diabetes in Beijing.

The snapdragon has been a model species for genetics, plant development, and evolution since the 19th century. Recent studies have expanded the focus to the entire genus as a model system for rapid evolution (26 species in < 5 million years). However, in-depth studies to reconstruct microevolution in additional snapdragon species are lacking.

is a key agent in bovine respiratory disease (BRD), driving antibiotic use in feedyard cattle. As a facultative anaerobe commonly found in the upper respiratory tracts of cattle, its role under anaerobic conditions in BRD has not been extensively studied despite the known importance of anaerobiosis in human respiratory infections. Utilizing a combined omics approach, we refuted the null hypothesis that the genome sequence is independent of the environment.

: In South China, species dominate mixed evergreen broadleaf forests, forming symbiotic relationships with ectomycorrhizal fungi and serving as food resources for diverse fauna, including frugivorous birds and mammals. The limited understanding of chloroplast genomes in this genus restricts our insights into its species diversity. This study investigates the chloroplast genome (cp genome) sequences from seven species, aims to elucidate their structural variation, evolutionary relationships, and functional gene content to provide effective support for future genetic conservation and breeding efforts.
