Population Structure and Selection Signal Analysis of Nanyang Cattle Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing Data by Yan Zhang, Zhitong Wei, Man Zhang, Shiwei Wang, Tengyun Gao, Hetian Huang, Tianliu Zhang, Hanfang Cai, Xian Liu, Tong Fu, Dong Liang

“…Our functional annotation analysis suggests that these genes may be responsible for reproduction (<i>MAP2K2</i>, <i>PGR</i>, and <i>GSE1</i>), immune response (<i>NCOA2</i>, <i>HSF1</i>, and <i>PAX5</i>), and olfaction (<i>TAS1R3</i>). We provide a comprehensive overview of sequence variations in the NY cattle genome, revealing insights into the population structure and genetic diversity of NY cattle. …”

Characterization of <i>Anopheles stephensi</i> Odorant Receptor 8, an Abundant Component of the Mouthpart Chemosensory Transcriptome by Zachary Speth, Gurlaz Kaur, Devin Mazolewski, Rayden Sisomphou, Danielle Denise C. Siao, Rana Pooraiiouby, Hans Vasquez-Gross, Juli Petereit, Monika Gulia-Nuss, Dennis Mathew, Andrew B. Nuss

“…Several mosquito species within the genus <i>Anopheles</i> are vectors for human malaria, and the spread of this disease is driven by the propensity of certain species to feed preferentially on humans. The study of olfaction in mosquitoes is important to understand dynamics of host-seeking and host-selection; however, the majority of these studies focus on <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> or <i>An. coluzzii</i>, both vectors of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. …”
