LncRNA SNHG17 Contributes to Proliferation, Migration, and Poor Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Yue Luo, Junhao Lin, Jiakang Zhang, Zhenghui Song, Dayong Zheng, Fengsheng Chen, Xuefen Zhuang, Aimin Li, Xinhui Liu

“…Moreover, HCC patients with higher SNHG17 expression had a relatively poor overall survival and disease-free survival, and ERH and PDK4 also played a marked role in the prognosis of HCC. Broadly, our findings illustrate that SNHG17 acts as a noncoding oncogene in HCC progression, suggesting its potential value as a novel target for HCC therapy.…”

Genetic Signatures of Contrasted Outbreak Histories of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”, the Bacterium That Causes Citrus Huanglongbing, in Three Outermost Regions of the Europe... by Olivier Pruvost, Karine Boyer, Frédéric Labbé, Marine Weishaar, Anaïs Vynisale, Claire Melot, Cécile Hoareau, Gilles Cellier, Virginie Ravigné

“…We emphasize the low diversity and high genetic relatedness between samples from Guadeloupe and Martinique, which suggests the putative movement of the pathogen between the two islands and/or the independent introduction of closely related strains. These samples were markedly different from the samples from Réunion, where the higher genetic diversity revealed by tandem‐repeat markers suggests that the disease was probably overlooked for years before being officially identified in 2015. …”
