Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Biological Continuum of Basal Cell Carcinoma? by Karaninder S. Mehta, Vikram K. Mahajan, Pushpinder S. Chauhan, Anju Lath Sharma, Vikas Sharma, C. Abhinav, Gayatri Khatri, Neel Prabha, Saurabh Sharma, Muninder Negi

“…Three cycles of chemotherapy comprising intravenous cisplatin (50 mg) and 5-florouracil (5-FU, 750 mg) on 2 consecutive days and repeated at every 21 days were effective. As it remains unclear whether metastatic BCC is itself a separate subset of basal cell carcinoma, we feel that early BCC localized at any site perhaps constitutes a biological continuum that may ultimately manifest with metastasis in some individuals and should be evaluated as such. …”

The Impact of Oxford Nanopore Technologies Based Methodologies on the Genome Sequencing and Assembly of Romanian Strains of <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> by Attila Cristian Ratiu, Adrian Ionascu, Nicoleta Denisa Constantin

“…The novel dScaff bioinformatics prototype tool allowed us to perform sequence-level quality tests, as well as to represent assembly selections and display both the contig redundancy and the repeats-enriched genomic sub-sequences. Moreover, we used dScaff to propose a minimal assembly variant corresponding to one of our lines, GB-ls-coga4, which assured a basic linear coverage of the genome and exhibited quality parameters comparable with those particular to the current reference genome assembly. …”
