LncRNA-Top: Controlled deep learning approaches for lncRNA gene regulatory relationship annotations across different platforms

Summary: By soaking microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have the potential to regulate gene expression. Few methods have been created based on this mechanism to anticipate the lncRNA-gene relationship prediction. Hence, we pr...

A Mark-Release-Recapture Study to Estimate Field Performance of Imported Radio-Sterilized Male Aedes albopictus in Albania

The pathogen transmitting Aedes albopictus mosquito is spreading rapidly in Europe, putting millions of humans and animals at risk. This species is well-established in Albania since its first detection in 1979. The sterile insect technique ...

In Silico and In Vitro Evaluation of the Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Potential of <i>Mentha</i> × <i>smithiana</i> R. GRAHAM Essential Oil from Western Romania

This study was conducted to identify the volatile compounds of Mentha × smithiana essential oil (MSEO) and evaluate its antioxidant and antibacterial potential. The essential oil (EO) content was assessed by gas chromatography–mass spectrom...

INTEGRITY AS A PRINCIPLE OF ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORTS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: THE EXPERIENCE OF UKRAINE AND EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES

The purpose of this article is to provide a scientific justification for the role of integrity as a principle of anti-corruption efforts in public administration, based on a comparative analysis of the experiences of Ukraine and European Un...

Diagnostic innovations in Equine Parasitology: a Nanogold-ELISA for sensitive serodiagnosis of migratory strongylus vulgaris larvae infections

Abstract Strongylus vulgaris, a devastating parasitic nematode in equids, causes life-threatening verminous aneurysms that are challenging to diagnose early. This study pioneered integrating nanotechnology into an indirect enzyme-linked imm...

Widespread geographic distribution of filarioid nematodes in caribou (Rangifer tarandus sspp.) in Canada

The caribou (Rangifer tarandus sspp.) is a keystone wildlife species in northern ecosystems that plays a central role in the culture, spirituality and food security of Indigenous People. The Arctic is currently experiencing an unprecedented...

The heterogeneous herd: Drivers of close‐contact variation in African buffalo and implications for pathogen invasion

Abstract Many infectious pathogens are shared through social interactions, and examining host connectivity has offered valuable insights for understanding patterns of pathogen transmission across wildlife species. African buffalo are social...

Thoracic electrical impedance tomography identifies heterogeneity in lungs associated with respiratory disease in cattle. A pilot study

Respiratory disease in cattle is a significant global concern, yet current diagnostic methods are limited, and there is a lack of crush-side tests for detecting active disease. To address this gap, we propose utilizing electrical impedance ...

The High Frequency of a G-Allele Variant of the <i>FOXP3</i> Gene in Old Asian Cattle Breeds, Water Buffaloes, and Holstein Friesian Cows: A Potential Link to Infertility
