An atlas of colonization factors in the mouse gut microbiome reveals phylogenetically structured repertoires and infection-stage-associated variation during Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice

ABSTRACT Colonization factors (CFs) comprise CF-associated gene families related to microbial establishment, persistence, host interaction, and gut ecological fitness, but their organization and variation in the mouse gut microbiome remain poorly defined. We integrated the Mouse...

Brain structural and functional connectivity converge prenatally but diverge after birth

Brain anatomical architecture supports its functional activity and complex cognitive processes. However, how the structure–function (SF) relationship establishes and develops during early life, as well as its underlying mechanisms, remain largely unclear. To address these questio...

Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the Medicago sativa 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) gene family

4-Coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) is a pivotal enzyme in the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway and plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. In this study, a genome-wide analysis was conducted to identify a total of 43 Ms4CL genes ( Ms4CLs ) in ‘Xinjian...
