Article Abstract

Genetic databases drive research by enabling open access. Recently, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity agreed on new rules for sharing benefits from the use of digital sequence information (DSI) which upholds open access, and also imposed new requirements for data depositors, database managers, and users.

BackgroundGlaucoma is recognized as the second-leading cause of complete blindness in developed countries and a significant contributor to irreversible vision loss worldwide. Understanding the potential genetic links between neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, and glaucoma is crucial for developing preventive strategies.MethodsThis study utilized data from Genome-Wide Association Studies databases, focusing on European populations without gender restrictions.

Background: Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal vascular formations across multiple organ systems, including the brain. While arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are well recognized in HHT, non-AVM cerebrovascular malformations remain underreported and poorly understood manifestations of the disease.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases, applying a two-step screening process to exclude studies with insufficient, irrelevant, or incomplete data.

The German Federal Ex Situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops (IPK) harbours over 3000 pea plant genetic resources (PGRs), backed up by corresponding information across 16 key agronomic and economical traits. The unbalanced structure and inconsistent format of this historical data has precluded effective leverage of genebank accessions, despite the opportunities contained in its genetic diversity. Therefore, a three-step statistical approach founded in linear mixed models was implemented to enable a rigorous and targeted data curation.

Background: The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network is recognized for its significant role in cardiovascular diseases, yet its involvement in in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains unexplored. Our study aimed to investigate how this regulatory network influences ISR occurrence and development by modulating inflammation and immunity.

Methods: By utilizing data extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we constructed the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network specific to ISR.

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single-Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as 'Non-Pathogenic'.

Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge on these organisms' impact on global health is very limited. The genera Blastocystis, Dientamoeba, Entamoeba, Endolimax and Iodamoeba comprise CLIPPs species, the life cycles of which, as opposed to single-celled pathogenic intestinal parasites (e.
