AbstractThe rumen microbiome plays an important role in providing energy and protein to the host. Manipulation of rumen microbiome during early life may have a long-term beneficial effect on the health, growth performance, and feed efficiency of ruminants. To better understand the profiles and functional potentials of rumen microbiome in young ruminants, metagenomic binning was performed to investigate the rumen microbiome of goat kids from one to 84 days of age.

Our company uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to streamline the comparison and purchasing process for car insurance and car loans. As our data grew, we had problems with AWS Redshift which was slow and expensive. Changing to ClickHouse made our query performance faster and greatly cut our costs. But this also caused storage challenges like disk failures and data recovery. To avoid extensive maintenance, we adopted JuiceFS, a distributed file system with high performance.

AbstractPolyploidization presents an unusual challenge for species with sex chromosomes, as it can lead to complex combinations of sex chromosomes that disrupt reproductive development. This is particularly true for allopolyploidization between species with different sex chromosome systems. Here, we assemble haplotype-resolved chromosome-level genomes of a female allotetraploid weeping willow (Salix babylonica) and a male diploid S. dunnii.

Emerging sensing platforms based on Cucurbit[n]uril functionalized gold nanoparticles and electrodes Cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s, n = 5–8, 10, and 14), synthetic macrocycles with unique host–guest properties, have triggered increasing research interest in recent years. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and electrodes stand out as exceptional substrates for sensing due to their remarkable physicochemical characteristics.
