Plant mitochondrial genomes are characterized by their complex compositions and structures, large genomes, rapid recombination and evolution rates, and frequent intracellular gene transfer events. Centipedegrass, known as "Chinese turfgrass", is a warm-season turfgrass that exhibits excellent tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. The chloroplast genome, with 139,107 bp, and the mitochondrial genome, with 564,432 bp, were both assembled into a single circular structure. We identified 44 gene transfer events between the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. The mitochondrial gene could serve as a marker for distinguishing accessions found at different altitudes. The unique features of the centipedegrass mitochondrial genome, coupled with the comparative genomic analysis of both chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, have the potential to enrich the Poaceae database and provide crucial perspectives on plant evolution, energy metabolism, and responses to environmental conditions. The markers developed could facilitate the analysis of the genetic diversity of centipedegrass.

The family Syngnathidae includes seahorses, sea dragons, and pipefishes. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome of the belly pipefish, Bleeker, 1849. The genome is 16,646-bp long, and includes the standard complement for bony fishes of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region, in the same order and strand distribution as other syngnathids.

The complete mitogenome of the common Chinese whip scorpion, (Butler, 1872) was sequenced and compared with another Uropygid mitogenome of (Lucas, 1835). Structural divergences include the absence of one tRNA-Leu and strand inversions in four protein coding genes (PCGs). All PCGs showed K/K ratios-1, which indicates purifying selection, with COI (0.

Background: Prostatic diseases, consisting of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa), pose significant health challenges. While single-omics studies have provided valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in prostatic diseases, integrating multi-omics approaches is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.
Methods: A genome-wide meta-analysis was conducted for prostatic diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from FinnGen and UK Biobank.

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace metal required for normal biological function, yet it also poses neurotoxic risks when dysregulated. Maintaining proper intracellular and extracellular Mn levels is critical, as Mn imbalance has been implicated in a spectrum of human diseases-including inherited Mn transport disorders, acquired manganism, and more prevalent neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Despite these associations, the cellular mechanisms driving Mn-induced neuropathology remain poorly understood.
