Depletion of key gut bacteria predicts disrupted bile acid metabolism in inflammatory bowel disease by Daniel Peterson, Christopher Weidenmaier, Sonia Timberlake, Rotem Gura Sadovsky

“…BA-transformation activity mediated by the bile acid inducible (bai) operon has been functionally characterized in the genus Clostridium, and homologous bai gene sequences have been found in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) belonging to other taxa in the human gut, but it is unclear which species of bai-carrying bacteria perform physiologically significant amounts of bile acid transformation in healthy and sick individuals. …”

Analysis of significantly associated regions and candidate genes for dwarf stem trait in Brassica napus based on BSA-sequencing by ZHAO Weiguo, TA Na, WANG Hao, YANG Zelin

“…[Results] (1) The dwarf trait of B. napus DW1 was a quality trait and was controlled by one pair of incomplete dominant genes. (2) Twenty-two genomic regions significantly associated with dwarf trait were identified within the 21.78-23.88 Mb region on chromosome A06, with the maximum interval of 46.71 kb and the minimum interval of 0.64 kb. (3) Potential candidate genes, including BnaA06g27050D, BnaA06g34100D, BnaA06g34810D, BnaA06g35080D , and BnaA06g36480D , were identified in significantly associated regions on chromosome A06, which were related to the regulation of auxin and gibberellin signal transduction, respectively. …”
