Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) have been treated as a prospective and helpful genetic marker in the fields of forensic human identification, anthropology and population genetics for the past few years. In this study, we developed a six-dye multiplex typing system consisting of 34 autosomal InDels and Amelogenin for forensic application. The contained InDels were specifically selected for Chinese population with the MAF ≥ 0.25 in East Asia, which do not overlap with the markers of Investigator® DIPplex kit. The typing system was named as GoldeneyeTM DNA ID System 35InDel Kit, and a series of developmental validation studies including repeatability/reproducibility, concordance, accuracy, sensitivity, stability, species specificity and population genetics were conducted on this kit. We confirmed that the 35InDel kit is precise, sensitive, species specific and robust for forensic practice. Moreover, the 35InDel kit is capable of typing DNA extracted from forensic routine case-type samples as well as degraded samples and mixture samples. All markers are proved to be highly polymorphic with an average observed heterozygosity (He) of 0.4582. The combined power of discrimination (CPD) is 0.999 999 999 999 978 and the combined power of exclusion in duos (CPED) and trios (CPET) are 0.978 837 and 0.999573, respectively, which are higher than those of the Investigator® DIPplex kit. Thus, the GoldeneyeTM DNA ID System 35InDel kit is suitable for forensic human identification and could serve as a supplementary typing system for paternity testing.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/20961790.2021.1945723 .

Clothianidin , classified as a second-generation neonicotinoid , has achieved extensive application due to its high efficacy against insect pests . This broad-spectrum usage has resulted in its frequent detection in environmental surveys. CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 are crucial for converting clothianidin to desmethyl-clothianidin (dm-clothianidin). The expression of these CYP450s can be significantly influenced by genetic polymorphisms . The objective of our research was to examine the catalytic effects of 27 CYP3A4 variants and 31 CYP2C19 variants on the metabolism of clothianidin within recombinant insect microsomes . These variants were assessed through a well-established incubation procedure. In addition, the concentration of its metabolite dm-clothianidin was quantified by employing an ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Lastly, the kinetic parameters of these CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 variants were calculated by applying Michaelis-Menten kinetic analysis to fit the data. The observed changes in enzyme activity were related to the metabolic transformation of clothianidin to dm-clothianidin. In the CYP2C19 metabolic pathway, one variant (CYP2C19.23) showed no notable change in intrinsic clearance (CL int ), four variants (CYP2C19.29, .30, .31 and L16F) demonstrated a marked increase in CL int (110.86–183.46 %), and the remaining 25 variants exhibited a considerable decrease in CL int (26.38–89.79 %), with a maximum decrease of 73.62 % (CYP2C19.6). In the CYP3A4 metabolic pathway, 26 variants demonstrated significantly reduced CL int (10.54–52.52 %), with a maximum decrease of 89.46 % (CYP3A4.20). Our results suggested that most variants of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 significantly altered the enzymatic activities associated with clothianidin metabolism to various degrees. This study provides new insights into assessing the metabolic behavior of pesticides and delivers crucial data that can guide clinical detoxification strategies.

The effects of MXene on the crystallization behavior of β-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were comparatively studied. The commonly used MXene Ti3C2Txwas prepared by selective etching and its structure and morphology were studied in detail. Then MXene and a rare earth β-nucleating agent (NA) WBG-II were nucleated with iPP to prepare samples with different polymorphic compositions. The crystallization, melting behavior, and morphologies of neat iPP, iPP/MXene, iPP/WBG-II, and iPP/MXene/WBG-II were comparatively studied. The crystallization behavior analysis reveals that a competitive relationship exists between MXene and WBG-II when they were compounded as α and β nucleating agents. In the system, the β-nucleation efficiency (NE) of WBG-II is higher than α-NE of MXene. The β-phase has relatively low thermal stability and would transform to α-phase when cooled below a critical temperature.Keywords:isotactic polypropylene;MXene;β-nucleating agent;polymorphic crystallization behavior

Terephthalic polyesters are important engineering plastics and can crystallize into multiple crystal phases, including the mesophase in processing. However, the formation process and structural characteristics for the unique long-range ordered mesophase of terephthalic polyesters are still not well understood. Herein, we investigated the crystal polymorphism, crystallization kinetics, phase transition, and mechanical properties of a medium-chain terephthalic polyester, poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (PHT). A new long-range ordered mesophase (named as the δ phase) is discovered for PHT during quiescent melt crystallization at a low crystallization temperature (Tc = 10–30 °C). However, the α and β crystal phases are crystallized at a medium (40–80 °C) and high (90–130 °C) Tc, respectively. The mesomorphic δ phase has a long-range order with a layered structure and inclined chain packing, which shows faster chain relaxation and smaller lamellar thickness than the α and β phases. The mesomorphic δ phase is metastable and converts into the stable β phase upon heating or high-temperature annealing. Mechanical properties of PHT can be well tuned by crystal polymorphs. The mesomorphic δ phase of PHT has good transparency and ductility, while the α and β phases possess a higher yield strength and modulus. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the mesophase formation and complex crystal polymorphism of terephthalic polyesters.

Intratumoral microbiota plays a crucial role in cancer progression. However, the relationship between host genetics and intratumoral microbiota, as well as their interaction in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, remains unclear. With 748 Chinese CRC patients enrolled from three cohorts, we find that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2355016, located in the intron of ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11 ( KCNJ11 ), is significantly associated with the abundance of Fusobacterium . Compared with the rs2355016 GG genotype, patients carrying the A allele exhibit downregulation of KCNJ11 and enrichment of Fusobacterium , which corresponds to accelerated proliferation and progression. Low expression of KCNJ11 can increase the level of galactose-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (Gal-GalNAc) on the surface of CRC cells, thereby facilitating the binding of the Fap2 protein from F. nucleatum to Gal-GalNAc. This further enhances the adhesion and invasion of F. nucleatum and promotes CRC growth. Our study explores the interaction between intratumoral microbiota and SNPs in CRC patients, which will enhance our understanding of CRC proliferation.

Fragaria iinumae Makino is recognized as an ancestor of the octoploid strawberry species, which includes the cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier. Here we report the construction of the first high-density linkage map for F. iinumae . The F. iinumae linkage map (Fii map) is based on two high-throughput techniques of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping: the IStraw90 Array (hereafter “Array”), and genotyping by sequencing (GBS). The F 2 generation mapping population was derived by selfing F. iinumae hybrid F1D, the product of a cross between two divergent F. iinumae accessions collected from Hokkaido, Japan. The Fii map consists of seven linkage groups (LGs) and has an overall length of 451.7 cM as defined by 496 loci populated by 4173 markers: 3280 from the Array and 893 from GBS. Comparisons with two versions of the Fragaria vesca ssp. vesca L. ‘Hawaii 4’ pseudo-chromosome (PC) assemblies reveal substantial conservation of synteny and colinearity, yet identified differences that point to possible genomic divergences between F. iinumae and F. vesca , and/or to F. vesca genomic assembly errors. The Fii map provides a basis for anchoring a F. iinumae genome assembly as a prerequisite for constructing a second diploid reference genome for Fragaria .

Photoswitchable fluorescent materials are desirable for many applications because their emission signals can be easily modulated on demand. In this study, novel photoswitchable multistate fluorescent supramolecular polymers (PMFSPs) were prepared via host–guest interactions under a facile ultrasonication strategy. In the system, photochromic fluorescent diarylethylene monomer (SDTE, donor) and adamantane-containing monomer (BAC) were covalently combined into the backbone of the guest polymer (P1) via radical copolymerization. Meanwhile, the host moiety (CDSP, acceptor) was synthesized by covalent incorporation of photochromic spiropyran dye (SPCOOH) with β-cyclodextrin. By adjusting the stimulation wavelength and utilizing photoinduced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the supramolecular polymers can undergo reversible tristate fluorescence switching among none, red, and green. In addition, due to the high contrast, rapid photoresponsiveness and prominent photoreversibility of the prepared PMFSPs, we demonstrated that they have great potential in advanced anti-counterfeiting and multilevel information encryption.

Specific study about the effect of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) polymorphisms on the metabolism of clinic drugs is of great significance for drug safety investigation. Here, the interaction between CYP2D6 variants (*1, *2, *10, *39) and metoprolol (MET) was intensively researched in vitro from the aspect of drug-enzyme kinetic study. To obtain quantitative data, α -hydroxymetoprolol (main metabolite of MET) was selected as an ideal analyte and an LC–MS/MS method was adopted for sample determination. Firstly, by selecting suitable internal standard and optimizing separation condition, the LC–MS/MS method was established and validated. Then, the drug-enzyme incubation system was optimized by two parameters: incubation time and amount of enzyme. Lastly, the interaction between CYP2D6 allelic variants and MET was characterized by K m , V max and CL int . As a result, four CYP2D6 enzymes displayed diverse K m or V max towards MET and the values of CL int showed a wide range from 8.91 to 100%. Relative to CYP2D6*1 (CL int *1 = 100%), CYP2D6*2 demonstrated the second high catalytic activity (CL int *2/*1 = 74.87%) while CYP2D6*39 (CL int *39/*1 = 29.65%) and CYP2D6*10 (CL int *10/*1 = 8.91%) showed minimal catalytic activity. This comprehensive in vitro data suggested the prominent influence of CYP2D6 polymorphisms on the metabolism of MET, which could offer valuable information for personalized administration of MET in clinic.

High-performance information encryption materials are crucial for developing advanced technologies that prevent information leakage and combat fraud. These materials must be robust, intelligent, and easily programmable. To meet these criteria, we developed an information encryption toolbox based on a series of novel self-healing photoswitchable dual (P1 and P2) and multistate (P3) fluorescent polymers using two photochromic fluorescent diarylethenes, i.e., 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate link 1,2-bis(2-methyl-1-benzothiophene-1,1-dioxide-3-yl)perfuoro-cyclopentene (SDTE), 4-(acryloyloxy)butyl 4-oxo-4-butanoate link 2,3-bis (2-methylbenzo[ b ]thiophen-3-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4 H -thieno[2,3- b ]thiopyran-4-one (BTBA) and hydrogen-bonding units, i.e., 2-ureido-4[1 H ]-pyrimidinone (UPy). Upon irradiation with different wavelength lights, P1/P2 can be alternated between green/red and quenched states, while P3 can be switched among red, green, and quenched states. Using these polymers to fabricate pixel units can produce reconfigurable patterns and codes displaying good mechanical properties and excellent optical characteristics, including rapid photoresponsiveness, robust photoreversibility, superior fluorescent thermal stability, and strong resistance to acid and base corrosion. Furthermore, we also demonstrated the immediate application opportunities of our toolbox in three-dimensional-code arrays and quick response codes.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present significant challenges in microbial detection and treatment, further raising the demands on sequencing technologies. In response to these challenges, we have developed a novel barcode-based approach for highly sensitive single nucleotide recognition. This method leverages a dual-head folded complementary template probe in conjunction with DNA ligase to specifically identify the target base. Upon recognition, the system triggers rolling circle amplification (RCA) followed by the self-assembly of CdSe quantum dots onto polystyrene microspheres, enabling a single-particle fluorescence readout. This approach allows for precise base identification at individual loci, which are then analyzed using a bio-barcode array to screen for base changes across multiple sites. This method was applied to sequence a drug-resistant mutation site inHelicobacter pylori(H. pylori), demonstrating excellent accuracy and stability. Offering high precision, high sensitivity, and single nucleotide resolution, this approach shows great promise as a next-generation sequencing method.

CYP2C9 is one of four known members of the human cytochrome P450 CYP2C superfamily, with at least 57 CYP2C9 alleles being previously identified. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9 significantly influence the efficacy and safety of some drugs, which might cause adverse effects and therapeutic
failure. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the role of 36 CYP2C9 alleles, 21 novel alleles (*36-*56) found in the Chinese population, in the oxidative metabolism of diclofenac in vitro. Insect microsomes expressing the 36 human CYP2C9 alleles were incubated with 2-100
μM diclofenac for 30 min at 37°C and terminated by the addition of 30 μL 0.1 M HCl. Diclofenac and 4'-hydroxyl (OH)-diclofenac, the major diclofenac metabolite, were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Compared with wild-type CYP2C9*1, most variants
showed significantly altered values in Vmax, Km and intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km). Only one variant exhibited markedly increased intrinsic clearance value, whereas 31 variants exhibited significantly decreased values. Thus, this study demonstrated
that more attention should be given to subjects carrying these CYP2C9 alleles when administering diclofena.

Variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) is a pervasive and highly mutable genetic feature that varies in both length and repeat sequence. Despite the well-studied copy-number variants, the functional impacts of repeat motif polymorphisms remain unknown. Here, we present the largest genome-wide VNTR polymorphism map to date, with over 2.5 million VNTR length polymorphisms (VNTR-LPs) and over 11 million VNTR motif polymorphisms (VNTR-MPs) detected in 8,222 high-coverage genomes. Leveraging the large-scale NyuWa cohort, we identified 2,982,456 (31.8%) NyuWa-specific VNTR-MPs, of which 95.3% were rare. Moreover, we found 1,937 out of 38,685 VNTRs that were associated with gene expression through VNTR-MPs in lymphoblastoid cell lines. Specifically, we clarified that the expansion of a likely causal motif could upregulate gene expression by improving the binding concentration of PU.1. We also explored the potential impacts of VNTR polymorphisms on phenotypic differentiation and disease susceptibility. This study expands our knowledge of VNTR-MPs and their functional implications.
