Establishment and application of a TaqMan probe–based qPCR for the detection of Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a common parasite that invades the epithelial cytoplasm in the hepatopancreas of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and results in slow growth of the host shrimps to cause significan...

Open AccessInvestigation of fiber utilization in the rumen of dairy cows based on metagenome-assembled genomes and single-cell RNA sequencing
Dairy cows utilize human-inedible, low-value plant biomass to produce milk, a low-cost product with rich nutrients and high proteins. This process largely relies on rumen microbes that ferment lignocellulose a...

Hypertrophic preconditioning attenuates post-myocardial infarction injury through deacetylation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2
Ischemic preconditioning induced by brief periods of coronary occlusion and reperfusion protects the heart from a subsequent prolonged ischemic insult. In this study we investigated whether a short-term nonisc...

Allelic distributions of CYP2D6 gene copy number variation in the Eastern Han Chinese population
The human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene copy number variation, involving CYP2D6 gene deletion (CYP2D6*5) and duplication or multiduplication (CYP2D6*×N), can result in reduced or increased metabolism of many ...
