Genome-Wide 6mA Map Unveils Epigenetic Adaptation in Deep-Sea Limpet. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study provides the first genome‐wide 6mA profile for any deep‐sea animal, uncovers its sophisticated, context‐dependent role in gene regulation, and functionally links this epigenetic mark to the adaptive pathways essential for deep‐sea survival.

The first bioactive (angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitory) peptide isolated from pearl matrix protein [PDF]

Heliyon
In this research, we unveil the medical potential of pearls by identifying a novel bioactive peptide within them for the first time. The peptide, termed KKCHFWPFPW, emerges as a pioneering angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, originating from
