Explore intersection genes of oxymatrine and COVID-19 with lung cancer as potential therapeutic targets based on network pharmacology.

Oxymatrine, a natural alkaloid, has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulatory effects. Research suggests it may be beneficial for lung cancer patients with COVID-19. Targets include immune regulation, cytoprotection, and control of signaling pathways. Oxymatrine may enhance current treatments for COVID-19 and lung cancer.

Two long read-based genome assembly and annotation of polyploidy woody plants, Hibiscus syriacus L. using PacBio and Nanopore platforms.

Researchers developed a new method using long read sequencing to improve the quality of plant genomes, specifically the polyploid plant Hibiscus syriacus. This method allows for better recovery of repetitive sequences and error correction, which can have applications in genetic research and crop breeding.
