Background: As of June 30, 2020, Malaysia had confirmed 8,639 cases of COVID-19. About 39% of these were associated with a religious mass gathering event held in Kuala Lumpur between February 27 and March 1, 2020, which drove community transmission during Malaysia’s main wave. We analysed genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 from Malaysia to understand the molecular epidemiology. Methods: We obtained…
Behavioral studies have predominantly focused on organisms within the phyla Craniata and Arthropoda. Yet, there has been a growing interest in studying the behavior of…
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic, progressive liver disease that encompasses a spectrum of steatosis, steatohepatitis (or MASH), and fibrosis. Evidence suggests…
Automated radio telemetry systems (ARTS) have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of animal movement by providing a near-continuous record of individual locations in the…
Living tissue and extracellular matrices possess viscoelastic properties, but understanding how viscoelastic matrix regulates chromatin and the epigenome is limited. Here, we find that the…
In Alzheimer[‘]s disease (AD), the formation of amyloid beta and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) leads to neuronal loss in entorhinal cortex (EC), a crucial brain region…
Cucumber is one of the most important vegetables in the Japanese market. To facilitate genomics-based breeding, there is a demand for reference genome of Japanese…
The rate and chromosomal positioning of meiotic recombination significantly affects the distribution of the genetic diversity in eukaryotic genomes. Many studies have revealed sex-specific recombination…
Cells have evolved mechanisms to distribute ~10 billion protein molecules to subcellular compartments where diverse proteins involved in shared functions must efficiently assemble. Such assembly…
The vertebrate neural tube generates a large diversity of molecularly and functionally distinct neurons and glia from a small progenitor pool. While the role of…
Genomic Copy Number Variants (CNVs) that increase risk for neurodevelopmental disorders are also associated with lower cognitive ability in general population cohorts. Studies have focussed…
