Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...

The Brazilian Equatorial Margin (BEM) is an oblique-transform continental margin inherited from the Pangea breakup and the opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean. Located in the central portion of the BEM, the Barreirinhas Basin is a frontier region with only three deep-water wells. Efforts have been made to understand its tectono-depositional evolution and potential for petroleum exploration. This study provides the first i...

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated fungal pathogen characterized by a thick polysaccharide capsule, primarily composed of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), which represents its major virulence factor and a key target for immunodiagnosis. Mimetic peptides that reproduce GXM epitopes may provide standardized, stable alternatives to native polysaccharide antigens for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This study aimed to i...

Water quality assessment is critical for determining the suitability of water resources for human consumption. In Santa Marta, northern Colombia, limited access to potable water and sewage systems, along with poor treatment infrastructure, poses a significant risk to both urban and rural communities. In some areas, untreated water is sourced directly from rivers or cisterns. Despite being a public health concern, molecular sur...

In the Boquet River (NY, USA) a low‐head dam set above a ~200‐m bedrock cascade was removed in 2015. We used radio‐telemetry to assess landlocked Atlantic salmon passage at the remaining cascade (2020, 2022). Across years, 52% of males (13/25) attempted cascade passage whereas females made no discernable attempts (0/11). Attempt probability increased with stream discharge and decreased with fish size, though overall passage su...

Precipitation is the primary source of water in a river basin and plays a key role in water resource management by affecting water availability. However, large river basins like the São Francisco River Basin in Brazil show significant variability in rainfall patterns, leading to different water supply levels across sub-regions. To identify areas with similar rainfall patterns, the k-means clustering method was used on rainfall...
