Establishment of a new prognostic risk model of MAPK pathway-related molecules in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma based on genomes and transcriptomes analysis

PurposeThe mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is often studied in oncology as the most easily mentioned signaling pathway.This study aims to establish a new prognostic risk model of MAPK pathway related molecules in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) based on genome and transcriptome analysis.MethodsIn our study, RNA-se

Factors affecting the biology of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a parasitoid of spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii).

Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is a wasp that parasitizes and host-feeds on pupae of the invasive spotted-wing drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii).Few studies have addressed interactions between these two species and little is known about the potential of this parasitoid as a biocontrol agent of SWD and the different variables that may affect it.Here,

Characterization of Port Bolivar Virus, a Novel Entomobirnavirus (Birnaviridae) Isolated from Mosquitoes Collected in East Texas, USA

This report describes and characterizes a novel entomobirnavirus, designated Port Bolivar virus (PTBV), that was isolated Soft Toy from a pool of Aedes sollicitans mosquitoes collected in a saltwater marsh in East Texas, USA.Full genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses indicate that PTBV is distinct but genetically related to Drosophila X virus
