Flower color is an important ornamental feature that is often modulated by the contents of flavonoids.Chalcone synthase is the first key enzyme in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, but little is known about the role of R.delavayi CHS in flavonoid biosynthesis.In this paper, three CHS genes (RdCHS1-3) were successfully cloned from R.delavayi flowers.A
IntroductionAlthough most variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in breast cancer susceptibility genes are eventually downgraded to benign or likely benign in individuals of European ancestry, it is unclear if this also applies to non-European populations.This study examines the time to and type of VUS reclassification among a diverse cohort at r
