ABSTRACT Background Accurate classification of novel globin gene variants is critical for the diagnosis and management of thalassaemia. The adaptation of ACMG/AMP guidelines for globin genes represents an important step toward standardising variant interpretation and enhancing clinical utility in the field.

Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

Laurdan: Clarifying Photophysics and Advancing the Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles
Biophysical properties of extracellular vesicles (EVs) reflect their composition and membrane organization. We introduce a novel approach using time‐resolved emission spectra (TRES) phasor analysis of the polarity‐sensitive probe Laurdan to characterize membranes with complex compositions.

This study establishes an integrated platform combining high‐throughput screening (STEM‐seq) and AI‐guided design (BaseSearch) to develop compact transcriptional enhancers in crops. We identified thousands of functional short enhancers (60–80 bp) across four species, with the strongest showing 46.3‐fold activation.

Abstract The historic development of the Post Oak Savanna ecoregion in Texas, USA, was shaped by natural wildfires. However, wildfire suppression has caused an increase in encroaching woody species. To address this issue, land management strategies incorporate prescribed fire (PF) for the control of encroaching species.

We examined clinal gradients in reproductive modes and associated offspring body condition across a hybrid zone between two bimodal viviparous subspecies of Salamandra salamandra. We found a clear cline in reproductive modes, with pure modes at the extremes and mixed modes in central populations.
