Summary: This study investigated the transcriptomic responses of Taiwan tilapia to cold stress, identifying key genes and molecular markers related to cold biological pathways. Energy-related metabolic pathways and nucleotide genotypes showed high correlation with cold tolerance traits. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genetic variation can assist in selecting and verifying cold-tolerant populations. The study developed molecular markers to improve cold tolerance in Taiwan tilapia through genetic analysis and marker-assisted breeding.

Summary: In this study, a consensus genetic map of Hong Kong oyster was constructed using microsatellite markers. The map will be important for future marker assisted selection and gene mapping. Tri-nucleotide microsatellite markers showed greater potential for these applications compared to di-nucleotide markers.

Summary: An enrichment protocol was used to isolate and characterize tri-nucleotide microsatellite markers in Crassostrea hongkongensis, revealing their potential for gene mapping and molecular-marker assisted selection. The markers were found to have a higher correlation with functional genes compared to di-nucleotide markers and could effectively identify purebred and hybrid offspring of these oyster species.

Summary: There is a growing interest in studying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA (miRNA) genes, as they may be associated with susceptibility, prognosis, and treatment response in colorectal cancer (CRC). These miRNA-SNPs could serve as non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of CRC. However, contradictory findings have been reported when different research groups investigated the same SNP in a gene for a specific miRNA, highlighting the need for more case-control studies involving participants from different ethnic backgrounds. According to our review, three miRNA-SNPs - miR-146a rs2910164, miR-27a rs895819, and miR-608 rs4919510 - appear to be promising prognostic, diagnostic, and predictive biomarkers for CRC.

Summary: Research suggests that the Trp encoding allele of rs3184504 may be causal for hypertension and renal dysfunction, in part due to the loss of SH2B3-mediated repression of T cell IL-12 signaling leading to enhanced IFNg production.

Summary: This study compared the genomes of wild and domesticated white-spotted bamboo sharks using resequencing data, revealing that the domesticated sample had a larger genome size and higher heterozygosity. Through the identification of microsatellite markers and SNPs, genetic differences between wild and domesticated populations were uncovered.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system with no cure and unclear etiology. This study aimed to identify SNPs associated with an increased risk of developing MS. The findings suggest that the GG AGO1 rs636832 and AA GEMIN4 rs7813 genotypes are associated with an increased risk of MS.

Summary: This study investigated the association between microscopic polyangiitis and the single nucleotide polymorphism rs807185 in autophagy-associated gene 4A (ATG4A) in the Chinese population. Using multiplex polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing, it was found that the control group had a higher frequency of the A allele of rs807185 compared to the microscopic polyangiitis group, suggesting that the A allele of rs807185 may have a protective effect against microscopic polyangiitis in the Chinese population. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity and population structure of 135 autotetraploid potatoes using SLAF-seq methods. Analysis of 3,397,137 high-quality SNPs revealed that the classification of these potatoes based on SNP profiles did not correlate with their geographical origins. Furthermore, 71 PARMS-SNP markers were successfully used to analyze 190 autotetraploid potato varieties. Overall, these novel SNP markers provide a solid foundation for potato genetic diversity analysis, DUS testing, and plant variety protection.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between SNP of the TERT gene and the severity of sleep bruxism, and identified the independent risk factors for sleep bruxism. The results showed that one SNP of TERT was associated with the episode index of phasic bruxism, and the lack of this SNP, male sex, and arterial hypertension were independent risk factors for phasic bruxism.
