Complete chloroplast genomes of 13 species of the Impatiens genus for genomic features and phylogenetic relationships studies by Qinqin Yong, Meijun Li, Zhi Li, Chao Luo, Jinling Zhang, Xinxiang Bai

“…Five mutation hotspots were detected: rps16-trnQ-UUG, ndhF, ccsA-ndhD, ycf1, and trnN-GUU, among which ycf1 had the highest Pi value and the greatest potential as a DNA barcode marker. Our phylogenetic tree shows that all 13 species belong to Section Impatiens. …”

Analysis of the transcriptional activity of model piggyBac transgenes stably integrated into different loci of the genome of CHO cells in the absence of selection pressure by L. A. Yarinich, A. A. Ogienko, A. V. Pindyurin, E. S. Omelina

“…Each individual transgene contained a unique tag, a DNA barcode, and the resulting polyclonal cell population was cultured for almost a month without any selection. …”

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of monotypic genus Pseudogalium, and comparative analyses with its relative genera by Wei Yu, Xiao-Juan Li, Zhen Lv, Li-E Yang, De-Li Peng

“…Furthermore, we detected highly divergent regions that hold potential as new DNA barcodes for species identification. Compared with Pseudogalium, the gene number, gene length, and GC content in the chloroplast genomes of Galium and Rubia exhibited differential characteristics, and the dispersed repeat sequences and SSRs in Galium and Rubia were significantly different. …”

Targeted sequencing analysis pipeline for species identification of human pathogenic fungi using long-read nanopore sequencing by Nattapong Langsiri, Navaporn Worasilchai, Laszlo Irinyi, Piroon Jenjaroenpun, Thidathip Wongsurawat, Janet Jennifer Luangsa-ard, Wieland Meyer, Ariya Chindamporn

“…Abstract Among molecular-based techniques for fungal identification, Sanger sequencing of the primary universal fungal DNA barcode, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2), is commonly used in clinical routine laboratories due to its simplicity, universality, efficacy, and affordability for fungal species identification. …”

The Mla pathway promotes Vibrio cholerae re-expansion from stationary phase by Deborah R. Leitner, Franz G. Zingl, Alexander A. Morano, Hailong Zhang, Matthew K. Waldor

“…Cells labeled with DNA barcodes or fluorophores were useful to demonstrate that though the abundances of wild-type and Mla mutant cells were similar in stationary phase cultures, they had marked differences in their capacities to regrow on plates. …”
