Summary: Numerous studies have shown that eye-gaze and arrow cues have automatic effects on visuospatial attention. This study aimed to investigate the differences between attentional shifts triggered by eye-gaze and arrow cues, particularly in the object selection process. The findings suggest that socially relevant gaze cues encourage more specific attentional orienting compared to arrow cues, shedding light on the boundary conditions necessary to observe this dissociation.

Summary: Through the analysis of 448 individuals from 24 Tibetan sheep populations in different regions, we successfully constructed specific SNP genetic marker sets for the identification of Tibetan sheep breeds at the molecular level, including Yunnan-Tibetan sheep, Zuogong, Heizang, Gongga, and Tao sheep.

Summary: The study investigated the role of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in major depressive disorder (MDD) and found a significant decrease in BChE activity in MDD patients compared to healthy controls. Genetic polymorphisms in the BCHE gene, particularly rs1803274, were associated with MDD, with varying effects observed in different genders. Further replication studies in diverse ethnic groups are recommended to validate these findings.

Summary: This study explored the race-specific SNP susceptibility of AS in Taiwanese individuals and found an association between HLA-B27 and AS susceptibility SNPs. The study also found differences in AS SNPs between Taiwanese individuals and other races, and that Taiwanese individuals with HLA-B27 positivity had a higher proportion of minor alleles. Additionally, AS polygenic risk score models were developed and individuals with high polygenic risk had a fivefold increased risk of developing AS.

Summary: This study conducted genome-wide association studies on individuals at risk for HIV-1C infection in Botswana and identified three genes (AP3B1, PTPRA, and NEO1) significantly associated with HIV-1C acquisition. These gene associations were validated in Botswana, United States African American, and United States European American AIDS cohorts. Thirteen previously discovered AIDS restriction genes were also replicated in the Botswana cohorts, contributing to the understanding of genetic variants affecting HIV acquisition and AIDS progression in the understudied HIV-1C population in Botswana.

Summary: Gaze cuing is a phenomenon in which people shift their attention in the direction of another person's gaze. Research has shown that gaze cuing shares properties with both endogenous and exogenous control of spatial attention.

Summary: In this study, genetic markers associated with anthracnose resistance in dry edible beans were identified through genome-wide association studies and genotyping of different genotypes. The identification of these markers provides valuable genetic information for breeding programs aimed at developing resistant cultivars.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the genetic and environmental predisposing factors for KSHV infection among the Uygur population in Xinjiang, China. The findings revealed that sweet-food preference, coronary heart disease, and genetic variation in HLA-DQB1*06:09 were strongly associated with KSHV infection.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of 27 gene loci and 8 genes involved in warfarin pharmacokinetics, revealing specific genetic associations with warfarin dose in black African and Mixed Ancestry populations. The presence of certain alleles was linked to increased or reduced warfarin maintenance dose. African populations present a diversity of variants important in predicting pharmacogenetics-based warfarin dosing, highlighting the need for inclusion in pharmacogenomics studies for identifying potential predictors for drug response.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the genetic variation among 18 saffron ecotypes from different geographical regions of Iran. The results showed that the allelic phenotypes-assisted DNA fingerprinting approach was effective in discriminating and revealing the potential genetic diversity among these saffron ecotypes.

Summary: The genetic diversity and population structure analysis of cotton breeding revealed wide variation in agronomic traits, especially lint percentage. High genetic diversity was found at the DNA level using SSR markers, and GWAS identified 3 SSR markers associated with lint percentage, providing a theoretical basis for improving fiber yield.
