AbstractThe clinical and pathological outcomes differ between early-onset (diagnosed in men ≤55 years of age) and late-onset prostate cancer, potentially attributed to the changes in hormone levels and immune activities associated with aging. Exploring the heterogeneity therein holds potential for developing age-specific precision interventions.

The American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana) is both an economically important aquaculture species and a globally distributed invasive organism with high environmental adaptability. In this study, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the species, comprising 13 chromosomes with a total length of 6.32 Gb and a scaffold N50 of 691.8 Mb. Genome completeness was evaluated at 95.5% using BUSCO and 99.9% using Merqury. Repetitive sequences accounted for 79.51% of the genome. Through a combination of RNA-seq, Ab initio and homology-based gene prediction, we identified 32,382 protein-coding genes, with 98.96% of these genes functionally annotated. This chromosome-level assembly provides an important resource for future studies on the evolution, functional genomics and molecular breeding of the American bullfrog.

Probing the Synergistic Effects of Amino Compounds in Mitigating Oxidation in 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets in Aqueous Environment The shelf life of 2D MXenes in functional devices and colloidal dispersions is compromised due to oxidation in the aqueous system. Herein, a systematic investigation is carried out to explore the potential of various amino compounds as antioxidants for Ti3C2Tx MXenes.
