Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the brain evolution of web-building spiders
Animals for single-cell sequencing Adult samples of the aerial web-building spider (Hylyphantes graminicola) were collected from Anci district, Langfang, Hebei, China (39° 31.90’ N, 116° 38.15’ E) between September and October 2020. Collected spiders used for brain dissection were housed individually in a glass tube (Φ12 mm × 80 mm) at temperature- and humidity-controlled condition (24–26 °C and 50–60%…
Accelerated evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging white-tailed deer
Sample collection Previously, we collected nasal samples from WTD in northeastern Ohio focusing on metropolitan area parks11. In the present study, we expanded geographical study area by approximately 1000-fold to target the entire state of Ohio. We collected 1522 nasal swabs from WTD across 83 of Ohio’s 88 counties from…

Integrating full and partial genome sequences to decipher the global spread of canine rabies virus
RABV sequence and metadata acquisition and composition All 25,787 available sequences for the five genes of the RABV genome were downloaded from the NCBI Virus database5. After quality control, the RABV data set was reduced to 14,752 sequences that spanned 121 countries and were extracted from 192 different host species…
hypervariable region of 16s rrna
The mock community was created from pure cultures, whose 16S rRNA genes were determined through Sanger sequencing to be >3% different (Table S1). Bartram, Andrea. WebWhile 16S hypervariable region analysis is a powerful tool for bacterial taxonomic studies, it struggles to differentiate between closely related species. Limited by sequencing Rarefaction…
