    High expression of serine protease, Brachyurin in the posterior midgut of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) during horse drop** processing

    Livestock drop**s cause some environmental problems, but they have the potential to be used as effective biomass resources. The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), is suitable f...

    Analysis of molecular mechanism for acceleration of polyembryony using gene functional annotation pipeline in Copidosoma floridanum

    Polyembryony is defined as the formation of several embryos from a single egg. This phenomenon can occur in humans, armadillo, and some endoparasitoid insects. However, the mechanism underlying polyembryogenes...

    Comparative analysis of seven types of superoxide dismutases for their ability to respond to oxidative stress in Bombyx mori

    Insects are well adapted to changing environmental conditions. They have unique systems for eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a key enzyme that plays a primary role in re...

    MeSH ORA framework: R/Bioconductor packages to support MeSH over-representation analysis

    In genome-wide studies, over-representation analysis (ORA) against a set of genes is an essential step for biological interpretation. Many gene annotation resources and software platforms for ORA have been pro...
