Lack of WDFY4 leads to impaired immune response and poor cancer prognosis
This study used R language and multiple databases to jointly analyze the role of WDFY4 in cancer. Our analysis found that the WDFY4 gene and protein are differentially expressed in human tumors. WDFY4 causes prognostic differences in different directions in certain cancers.

Identifying Key Environmental Drivers of Reach‐Scale Salmonid eDNA Recovery With Random Forest
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling from rivers has emerged as a promising new method for monitoring freshwater organisms of management concern. However, eDNA sampling cannot yet offer reliable estimates of a target species' abundance/biomass or confident determinations of a species' absence from a river segment.
