Rapid advances in genomic technologies to screen, diagnose, and treat newborns will significantly increase the number of conditions in newborn screening (NBS).We previously identified four factors that delay and/or complicate NBS expansion: 1) variability in screening panels persists; 2) the short duration of pilots limits information about interve
Amino-terminal (Nt-) acetylation (NTA) is a common protein modification, affecting approximately 80% of all human proteins.The human essential X-linked gene, NAA10, encodes for the enzyme NAA10, which is the catalytic subunit in the N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) complex.There is extensive genetic variation in humans with missense, splice-si
Hypothenemus hampei is the most important insect pest of coffee in the world.H.hampei is controlled by using endosulfan and methyl bromide.However, using these two chemicals may pose pesticide resistance, bioaccumulation, and a threat to human health and the environment.This study evaluated the chemical compositions of essential oils from Cymbopogo
Streptomycin is considered to be one of the effective antibiotics for the treatment of plague.In order to investigate the streptomycin resistance of Y.pestis in China, we evaluated streptomycin susceptibility of 536 Y.pestis strains in China in vitro using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and screened streptomycin resistance-associated ge
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to identify forms of systemic racism experienced by Latinx communities in North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic as identified by Latinx community health workers (CHWs) and community-based organization (CBO) leaders.Methods: We conducted three focus groups in July 2022 Multipack Bottoms (N=16).We perf
