High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a fatal threat for sojourners who ascend rapidly without sufficient acclimatization. Acclimatized sojourners and adapted natives are both insensitive to HAPE but have different physiological traits and molecular bases. In this study, based on GSE52209, the gene expression profiles of HAPE patients were compared with those of acclimatized sojourners and adapted natives, with the common an...

Inorganic carbon is an important component of soil carbon stocks, exerting a profound influence on climate change and ecosystem functioning. Drylands account for approximately 80% of the global soil inorganic carbon (SIC) pool within the top 200 cm. Despite its paramount importance, the components of SIC and their contributions to CO 2 fluxes have been largely overlooked, resulting in notable gaps in understanding its distribu...

Fatty acid desaturases (FADs) are rate-limiting enzymes for the biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs). As a new member of the FAD family, Fad6 and its roles remain unclear in various teleost fishes. In this study, we identified a fad6 gene from yellow catfish (yc fad6 ) and determined its spatiotemporal expression patterns and responses to different initial diets and nutritional status in yellow catfish. Our r...
