A Gapless T2T Genome and Population-Scale Resequencing of Adzuki Bean Reveal Centromere Evolution and Accelerate Molecular Breeding

Abstract The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an economically and nutritionally significant legume species. Using a multi-strategy sequencing approach, a gapless, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of an elite cultivar, Jihong 16 (JH16), was generated. The genome size was...

Multifunctional Diluent Enables High‐Voltage and Flame‐Retardant Potassium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) emerge as a highly promising candidate system in large‐scale energy storage, owing to their abundant resources, low cost, and potentially high operating voltage. However, the current development of PIBs still faces core bottlenecks such as...

Nickase-based suppression of self-ligation in long sticky-end adapters for next-generation sequencing library preparation

The correctness and efficiency of the adapter connection are important factors affecting the quality and yield of the libraries in next-generation sequencing (NGS). Lengthening the sticky ends of the adapters and the targets can effectively improve the efficiency of ligation, how...

YOLOv11-SR: An Enhanced YOLOv11-Based Framework for Defect Detection in Complex Substation Inspection Images

Accurate detection of explicit faults in substation equipment is critical for intelligent substation inspection. However, practical inspection scenes often involve small objects, blurred boundaries, background clutter, occlusion, and large-scale variations, which significantly ch...

Establishing a Semen Cryobank for Yan Goose: Optimized Collection and Cryopreservation

Yan goose, a representative Chinese local breed, requires genetic resource conservation. To address this, we optimized a semen cryopreservation protocol for Yan geese and validated its feasibility in large-scale cryobank production. Using motility of frozen-thawed sperm (MFS) as...

Peukert‐Informed Prediction and Screening of Manganese‐Based High‐Rate Potassium Cathode

ABSTRACT Manganese‐based layered oxides have emerged as promising cathode materials for potassium‐ion batteries owing to their low cost, environmental benignity, structural diversity, and high theoretical capacity, yet suffer from poor rate performance. Compositional regulation o...

A Parallel‐Computing Based Topology Optimization Method of Bi‐Modulus Material Structures With Large Property Difference

ABSTRACT Engineering materials frequently exhibit considerable disparities between their tensile and compressive moduli. However, there are some difficulties in existing topology optimization methods for material structures with large disparities between their tensile and compres...
