Phylogenetic Analysis of Tanypodinae (Chironomidae, Diptera) Infered From Whole Mitochondrial Genomes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We generated the inaugural full mitogenomic sequences for 22 Tanypodinae taxa, and the mitochondrial genome sequence of another individual of Thienemannimyia tripunctata has been added; merged these novel records with previously released chironomid mitochondrial genomes; and performed an integrated comparative mitogenomic survey encompassing 55 ...

Macroid Formation in Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. From Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile With New Insights on Mitogenome Evolution in Serpulidae (Annelida)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

Crystal structure of a tRNA acceptor‐stem mimic at 1.94 Å resolution

Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 57-65, February 2026.
This paper reports the structure solution of an RNA complex using anomalous scattering.Despite the theoretical advantages of phosphorus single‐wavelength anomalous diffraction (P‐SAD) for nucleic acid phasing, its application remains limited due to high atomic displacement parameters and an unfavourable ratio of unique reflections to anomalous ...

Compression rates of microbial genomes are associated with genome size and base composition

Genomics & Informatics
Background To what degree a string of symbols can be compressed reveals important details about its complexity. For instance, strings that are not compressible are random and carry a low information potential while the opposite is true for highly ...

Epigenetic Age Estimation for Hawaiian False Killer Whales (Pseudorca crassidens) in the Absence of ‘Known‐Age’ Individuals

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenetic aging models hold great promise for enhancing many aspects of wildlife research and management. However, their utility is limited by the need to train models using known‐aged animals, which are rare among wildlife species. We present a novel approach to developing methylation‐based age prediction models that enables us to train ...

A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

New alternatives in photoprotection: Preparation and evaluation of lamellar silicate derivatives and their use as sunscreens

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 172-185, February 2026.
The use of nanotechnology in sunscreens has increased, with various filters and organoclays tested for new intercalated formulations. As animal toxicity tests decrease, New Approach Methodologies are favoured. The S4 + OMC‐NC improved cell survival under SSL and showed antimutagenic properties, making it a promising candidate for safe photoprotection ...

Emerging Role of ctDNA Fragmentomics and Epigenetic Signatures in the Early Detection, Minimal Residual Disease Assessment, and Precision Monitoring of Renal Cell Carcinoma

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents a significant global health challenge, with a substantial proportion of patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic disease due to the limitations of current diagnostic imaging and the lack of validated non‐invasive biomarkers.

Near‐complete genome assembly of a transformation‐efficient elite inbred line LH244 and its comparison with B73

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 366-382, February 2026.
Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...
