Phylogenetic Analysis of Spike and Envelope Proteins for a Number of Bat Coronaviruses for Understanding the Hypothesis of Possible Origin for the Novel 2019- nCoV by Salar Ibrahim Ali

“…Therefore, this study aims to investigate the evolution and analysis of molecular epidemiology for both Spike and Envelope proteins of 20 available complete genome sequences of different bat coronaviruses including 2019-nCoV in order to find out which type of bat coronaviruses is more likely to be the origin of this new 2019-nCoV and also multiple amino acid sequences of Envelope protein for all bat coronaviruses were aligned for the purpose of finding the greater probability of novel 2019-nCoV original host   among bat coronaviruses. …”

Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected nitrogen cycle genes in deep waters of the Baltic Proper by Michał Grabski, Michał Grabski, Ewa Kotlarska, Aneta Łuczkiewicz, Konrad Hryniewicz, Grzegorz Węgrzyn, Beata Szymczycha

“…Ammonia oxidation products likely fueled the production of nitrous oxide (N2O), with nitric oxide reductase (NOR)—an enzyme encoded by the Thioglobaceae genome—being responsible for further reduction. Anammox-related genes were not present within sites, thus denitrification pathway enzymes, namely, NOR and N2O reductase (NOS) were responsible for nitrogen loss. …”

Exploring the genetic correlation and causal relationships between breast cancer and meningioma using bidirectional Mendelian randomization by Lu Ding, Bo Chen, Zhou Zhou, Zhaojun Mei, Kan Cao, Xinyu Lu, Wei Chen

“…Genetic instrumental variables (IVs) for BC were identified from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the Discovery Biology and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer Consortium (DRIVE), the Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (iCOGS), and 11 other BC genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Meningioma GWAS data were obtained from the FinnGen consortium and were further divided into intracranial and spinal meningioma groups for analysis. …”

Study on the multidrug resistance and transmission factors of Staphylococcus aureus at the ‘animal–environment–human’ interface in the broiler feeding cycle by Fangyuan Hu, Fangyuan Hu, Yaopeng Liu, Yaopeng Liu, Lin Wang, Juan Wang, Na Liu, Yan Li, Xiaoxiao Duan, Junwei Wang, Mingzhe Lu, Junhui Liu, Zhina Qu, Keguang Han

“…Based on the concept of “One Health,” this study analyzed the multidrug resistance and transmission factors of S. aureus isolated from the “animal–environment–human” interface during one feeding cycle of commercial broilers in China by using antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies. The results showed that in stage 1, the isolation rate of S. aureus was 1.32% (6/453), that of workers was 25.0% (4/16), and that of environmental samples was 0.69% (2/287), and the multidrug resistance rate was 83.33%. …”
