Chemical probes that control the function of complex RNA molecules offer unique opportunities to interrogate biological systems. In this study, we demonstrate that a small molecule ligand selectively recognizes and undergoes traceless, reversible photocrosslinking to PreQ1 RNA aptamers.

FastImpute: A Baseline for Open-source, Reference-Free Genotype Imputation Methods -- A Case Study in PRS313 [PDF]
Genotype imputation enhances genetic data by predicting missing SNPs using reference haplotype information. Traditional methods leverage linkage disequilibrium (LD) to infer untyped SNP genotypes, relying on the similarity of LD structures between genotyped target sets and fully sequenced reference panels.

mendelFix: a Perl script for checking Mendelian errors in high density SNP data of trio designs [PDF]
Here we present mendelFix, a Perl script for checking Mendelian errors in genome-wide SNP data of trio designs. The program takes 12-recoded PLINK PED and MAP files as input to calculate a series of summary statistics for Mendelian errors, sets missing offspring genotypes that present Mendelian inconsistencies, and implements a simplistic procedure to ...

Genomic Evaluation of Recombination in Small Highly Inbred Beef Cattle Populations
The study characterizes recombination in small beef cattle populations, revealing higher rates in CGC composites compared to inbred Line 1 Herefords. It identifies significant SNP associations linked to recombination across various autosomes, highlighting complex polygenic influences, with implications for genetic diversity and breeding strategies ...

Bean rust resistance in the Guatemalan climbing bean germplasm collection
Abstract Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the main source of protein, fiber, and iron for Guatemala's poorest households. Bean rust (caused by Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers) Unger) can reduce seed yield up to 100%. There is limited information about U. appendiculatus virulence diversity in Guatemala, especially in the mid‐altitude highlands.

This study demonstrated the novel compound heterozygous mutations (NM_000137: c.657delC (p.K220Rfs*12) and NM_000137: c.607G>A(p.A203T)) in FAH gene in a patient were responsible for HT1. We showed these FAH mutations were inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and resulted in abnormal FAH protein expression and dysfunction, leading to ...

Shennong 1 Chicken 40K Liquid Chip: Advancing Genetic Research in Chinese Indigenous Chickens
Based on comprehensive genomic data of Chinese indigenous chickens, we developed a specialized genotyping array for this population. Comparative analyses with published mainstream arrays and evaluations, including genetic assessment of diverse chicken types and gene mining analyses, demonstrated its superior applicability to Chinese indigenous chickens.
