Genomic predictions improve the performance of clonal cultivars in oil palm. [PE0834] [PDF]
Prediction of clonal genetic value is among the difficulties of the genetic improvement of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) yield. Presently, clonal selection requires two stages of phenotypic selection (PS): preselection on the phenotypic values of ...

Can variability in the effect of opioids on refractory breathlessness be explained by genetic factors? [PDF]
© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objectives: Opioids modulate the perception of breathlessness with a considerable variation in response, with poor correlation between the required opioid dose and symptom severity. The objective of this

Visualization of SNPs with t-SNE
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one of the largest sources of new data in biology. In most papers, SNPs between individuals are visualized with Principal Component Analysis (PCA), an older method for this purpose.We compare PCA, an aging method for this purpose, with a newer method, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) for the

AlphaFold‐Guided Bespoke Gene Editing Enhances Field‐Grown Soybean Oil Contents
An AlphaFold‐guided method is developed to functionally optimize soybean sugar transporters and achieve bespoke gene editing of GmSWEET10a/b to improve oil content in an elite soybean cultivar in multi‐year, multi‐site field trials. The combination of AI‐guided protein design and gene editing may unlock a huge potential to improve the genetic trait de ...

Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis
In this study, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite is developed, guided by photoacoustic imaging, to achieve highly efficient and safe thrombolysis through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and pharmacological intervention. Most notably, the nanoparticle improves the microenvironment of arterial thrombi, marked by high shear stress and ...

Compared with the non‐risk G allele of rs9606, the risk T allele of rs9606 decreases the binding affinity of NUDT21 for LYRM4, triggering 3'UTR shortening that stabilizes LYRM4 mRNA and elevates its expression. Increased LYRM4 expression promoted malignant phenotypes of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through modulating ferroptosis, supporting

Genomic Variation Underpins Genetic Divergence and Differing Salt Resilience in Sesbania bispinosa
Sesbania, a leguminous halophyte, thrives in saline soils. Comparative genomics reveals key genomic variations—particularly chromosomal inversions—are identified as contributors to population differentiation and salt resilience. These findings advance the understanding of genomic variation driving evolution and phenotypic differentiation and offer ...
