TL;DR: The endophytic fungi from camptotheca trees are a reliable source for natural anticancer compounds and the fungal CPT exhibited effective activity at inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis on Vero cells.

TL;DR: These studies lay out one way for characterization of CNVs in the pig genome, provide insight into the pork genome variation and prompt CNV mechanisms studies when using pigs as biomedical models for human diseases.

TL;DR: Findings will help explain the unique genetic and phenotypic characteristics of Meishan pigs and offer a plausible method for their utilization of Meischan pigs as valuable genetic resources in pig breeding and as an animal model for human wrinkled skin disease research.

TL;DR: A genome-wide SV detection among the genomes of thirteen pigs from diverse Chinese and European originated breeds by next genetation sequencing, and a single-nucleotide resolution map involving 56,930 putative SVs is performed, it is found SVs can clearly detect the difference of genetic background among individuals.

TL;DR: It is found that DIC inhibited the proliferation of PK15 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which may result from apoptosis induced by DIC, which provides new insights into the role of miRNAs in the gene expression and function in DIC-related noncholinergic cytotoxicity.
