In silico analysis of the Seven IN Absentia (SINA) genes in bread wheat sheds light on their structure in plants.

Seven IN Absentia (SINA) is a small family of genes coding for ubiquitin-ligases that play major roles in regulating various plant growth and developmental processes, as well as in plant response to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we studied the SINA genes family in bread wheat Triticum aestivum which is a culture of major importance for food security worldwide. One hundred and forty-one SINA family genes have been identified in bread wheat and showed that their number is very high compared to other plant species such as A. thaliana or rice. The expansion of this family seems to have been more important in monocots than in eudicots. In bread wheat, the chromosome 3 distal region is the site of a massive amplification of the SINA family, since we found that 83 of the 141 SINA genes are located on this chromosome in the Chinese Spring variety. This amplification probably occurred as a result of local duplications, followed by sequences divergence. The study was then extended to 4856 SINA proteins from 97 plant species. Phylogenetic and structural analyses identified a group of putative ancestral SINA proteins in plants containing a 58 aminoacid specific signature. Based on sequence homology and the research of that "Ancestral SINA motif" of 58 amino acids, a methodological process has been proposed and lead to the identification of functional SINA genes in a large family such as the Triticae that might be used for other species. Finally, tis paper gives a comprehensive overview of wheat gene family organization and functionalization taken the SINA genes as an example.

Study of the Figure of the Non - Professional Caregiver. Special Reference to the Right to Permanent Disability. Legal Problems that Arise and Possible Solutions

Law 39/2006, of December 14, 2006, gave new recognition to the hitherto "invisible" figure of the non-professional caregiver, referring to the person in the family or environment of the dependent person, who provides non-professional care at home.The non-professional caregiver is the person who is in charge of the care of a family member or close person in a situation of dependency, and does not exercise this activity as a professional activity, as derived from its name, neither on his own account nor on behalf of others, since, as we are going to analyze, he does not meet all the requirements that the law demands for the existence of an employment relationship on behalf of others, such as the alien nature, dependence, remuneration, voluntariness and power of organization of the employer, nor as an employer. In these circumstances, the question that arises in this study is whether the non-professional caregiver can be the beneficiary of a total permanent disability benefit, under the special agreement regulated in Royal Decree 615/2007 and Order TAS/2632/2007. We can affirm that most of the people who are caregivers of dependent persons are women who have performed invisible work over the years, assuming the care of their relatives, without the support of the public administration and within the domestic sphere with no help other than that of the family organization. Hence the importance of the latest legislative reforms that makes these figures visible and gives them some rights.

Determinants of social norms I – the role of geography

Abstract It is now abundantly clear that social norms channel behaviour and impact economic development. This insight leads to the question: How do social norms evolve? This survey examines research that relies on geography to explain the development of social norms. It turns out that many social norms are either directly or indirectly determined by geography broadly conceived and can, hence, be considered largely time invariant. Given that successful economic development presupposes the congruence between formal institutions and social norms, this insight is highly relevant for all policy interventions designed to foster economic development. In a companion paper, the role of religion and family organization as potential mediators between geography and social norms assumes centre stage.

This study constitutes a preview of a broader research project on kinship, family, and society in colonial La Rioja. In this context, the results obtained from the study of five generations of the Villafañe and Guzmán family are presented. Various aspects such as family organization, inheritance system, conflicts between families, the construction of a distinct identity, and the strategies that allowed this family to preserve its heritage and maintain a prominent status in the local elite are examined and analyzed in detail.

Development of a theory-based family resilience intervention program for parents of children with chronic diseases: A Delphi study

BackgroundLong-term illness exposes children with chronic diseases to a high risk of deterioration of physical and mental health. Developing an effective family resilience intervention program is a critical concern. ObjectiveTo develop a theory-based family resilience intervention program for parents of children with chronic diseases and provide a reference for clinical intervention. MethodsA two-phased research design, guided by the Walsh family resilience process model, was employed to develop the intervention program. In phase 1, a scoping literature review was conducted to identify the possible elements of family resilience interventions. In phase 2, a three-round Delphi survey was conducted with experts (n = 14) using an online electronic survey to obtain their consensus on the intervention content. ResultsThree main components were identified: (1) strengthening family beliefs, (2) adjusting the family organization pattern, and (3) improving the family communication process. And 8 modules were developed: “introducing adversity and family resilience”, “finding and strengthening positive family beliefs, and building confidence to live with the disease”, “analyzing and adjusting family structure”, “assisting families to increase and utilizing internal and external resources”, “optimizing communication skills”, “strengthening collaborative problem-solving capacity”, “enhancing the family narrative ability”, and “enhancing emotional expression”. After 3-round Delphi, the findings indicated that the intervention program is applicable and feasible for parents of children with chronic diseases in China. ConclusionThe principal merit of this study lies in the development of a family resilience intervention program for parents of children with chronic diseases. The intervention's usability and efficacy should be investigated in future studies. Implications to practiceDeveloping a family resilience intervention program is a critical first step toward providing effective care for parents of children with chronic diseases, and evaluating the program's feasibility and suitability in the target population is warranted.

Chromosomal organization of multigene families and meiotic analysis in species of Loricariidae (Siluriformes) from Brazilian Amazon, with description of a new cytotype for genus Spatuloricaria.

In Amazon, some species of Loricariidae are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and overexploitation by the ornamental fish market. Cytogenetic data related to the karyotype and meiotic cycle can contribute to understanding the reproductive biology and help management and conservation programs of these fish. Additionally, chromosomal mapping of repetitive DNA in Loricariidae may aid comparative genomic studies in this family. However, cytogenetics analysis is limited in Amazonian locariids. In this study, chromosomal mapping of multigenic families was performed in Scobinancistrus aureatus, Scobinancistrus pariolispos and Spatuloricaria sp. Meiotic analyzes were performed in Hypancistrus zebra and Hypancistrus sp."pão". Results showed new karyotype for Spatuloricaria sp. (2n=66, NF=82, 50m-10sm-6m). Distinct patterns of chromosomal organization of histone H1, histone H3 and snDNA U2 genes were registered in the karyotypes of the studied species, proving to be an excellent cytotaxonomic tool. Hypotheses to explain the evolutionary dynamics of these sequences in studied Loricariidae were proposed. Regarding H. zebra and H. sp. "pão", we describe the events related to synapse and transcriptional activity during the meiotic cycle, which in both species showed 26 fully synapsed bivalents, with high gene expression only during zygotene and pachytene. Both Hypancistrus species could be used may be models for evaluating changes in spermatogenesis of Loricariidae.

Features of citizenship and patriotism of students of a technical university

Introduction. Patriotic and civic education is a systematic activity of the family, the state, public and educational organizations of the country. In connection with the accelerated formation of socio-economic models, changes in the internal and external situation in Russia, the problem of educating young people as patriots and citizens of the country is relevant. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of civic-patriotic education of students of a technical university. Materials and methods. The material of the study was the data of a survey of more than two hundred students of Stupino branch of the Moscow Aviation Institute (Russian Federation). Results. An analysis of the student survey data showed that most of the respondents know their civic obligations (78%), slightly less (73%) know their rights. At the same time, the vast majority (91%) consider themselves patriots. 90.6% believe that enough patriotic events are held at the technical university. 87.1% would like to be born and live in Russia and 84.7% are proud of the history of our country, 88.6% of respondents do not consider it necessary to change their citizenship. 88.6% of respondents associate the concept of patriotism with love for their homeland. Conclusion. The study revealed the expediency and effectiveness of the humanitarian environment for the education of true patriots of the Fatherland. Innovative approaches using quest technologies, patriotic tourism, volunteer movement, scientific and practical conferences can help overcome gaps in the education of a citizen and patriot of their homeland.

Bipolar Coping Strategies of Nurses in Facing the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Meta-synthesis Review.

Nurses on the front line of facing the COVID-19 pandemic have applied many coping strategies to adapt to their experienced physical and psychosocial challenges. This review aimed to identify coping strategies of nurses in the face of Covid-19. In this meta-synthesis review, qualitative articles related to the coping strategies published in English in the Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL databases were selected and analyzed. The review of selected articles showed nurses have used various coping strategies that can be categorized into one main theme, two themes, and ten sub-themes. The theme of efficient coping strategies includes the sub-themes of spiritual-religious coping, protective coping (protection of family members and colleagues), supportive coping by obtaining support from family, friends, colleagues, society, and government organizations, committed coping, positive mind coping, emotional coping, operational coping, and fun coping. The theme of inefficient coping strategies includes the sub-themes of avoidance and risky behaviors. The strategies lead to the synthesis of bipolar coping strategies of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, healthcare policymakers should emphasize using efficient strategies and avoiding inefficient ones.

Revisiting evolutionary trajectories and the organization of the Pleolipoviridae family.

Archaeal pleomorphic viruses belonging to the Pleolipoviridae family represent an enigmatic group as they exhibit unique genomic features and are thought to have evolved through recombination with different archaeal plasmids. However, most of our understanding of the diversity and evolutionary trajectories of this clade comes from a handful of isolated representatives. Here we present 164 new genomes of pleolipoviruses obtained from metagenomic data of Australian hypersaline lakes and publicly available metagenomic data. We perform a comprehensive analysis on the diversity and evolutionary relationships of the newly discovered viruses and previously described pleolipoviruses. We propose to classify the viruses into five genera within the Pleolipoviridae family, with one new genus represented only by virus genomes retrieved in this study. Our data support the current hypothesis that pleolipoviruses reshaped their genomes through recombining with multiple different groups of plasmids, which is reflected in the diversity of their predicted replication strategies. We show that the proposed genus Epsilonpleolipovirus has evolutionary ties to pRN1-like plasmids from Sulfolobus, suggesting that this group could be infecting other archaeal phyla. Interestingly, we observed that the genome size of pleolipoviruses is correlated to the presence or absence of an integrase. Analyses of the host range revealed that all but one virus exhibit an extremely narrow range, and we show that the predicted tertiary structure of the spike protein is strongly associated with the host family, suggesting a specific adaptation to the host S-layer glycoprotein organization.

The effect of the Covid-19 epidemic on auditing quality and the reaction of family vs non-family businesses to Covid-19: the case of Jordan

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide new scientific knowledge concerning the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on auditing quality as determined by audit fees for both family- and non-family-owned firms in Jordan.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression firm-clustered standard error employing data from 200 Jordanian enterprises between 2005 and 2020 to validate this study's hypotheses.FindingsThe regression findings suggest that enterprises run by families are better able to handle crises and spend less on audits. Companies that are not family-owned have to spend the most on monitoring tasks since they need to take extra steps to prevent the agency problem and make their financial statements stand out from their peers in order to attract more investors. Additional analysis that stretched out throughout 2005–2022 came to the same findings.Practical implicationsThe findings can be beneficial for authorities to better regulate and supervise the auditing sector. Political leaders, legislators, regulators and the auditing industry can all learn important lessons from the findings as they assess the growing concerns in a turbulent economic situation. The results of this research can, therefore, be utilised to reassure investors and assist policymakers in crafting workable responses to Covid-19's creation of financial problems. After the devastation caused by the coronavirus, these findings may be used to strengthen the laws that oversee Jordan's auditing sector.Originality/valueIn emerging nations like Jordan, where there is a clear concentration of ownership and a predominance of high levels of family ownership, and to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first empirical study to compare the auditing quality of family-owned versus non-family-owned enterprises. Preliminary insights into the crisis management tactics of family and non-family organisations are provided by this first empirical investigation of the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis on family-owned firms.

The Patterns of Socio-Perceptual Determination and Maternal Resilience

Introduction. The issue of socio-perceptual determination and resilience of the family is relevant to the implementation of state family policies in many countries. Family policy focuses on the family organization of orphans and children deprived of parental care, which contributes to the development of the institution of professional families. The problem is that the foster family system itself is very different from adoption and guardianship. And this due to the formation of the identity of the foster mother, who plays the main role in such a family. However, few studies have been conducted to determine the structure and content of the I-images of foster mothers. There is even less research on foster child images in foster mothers. Materials and Methods. The work was carried out with the participation of 295 women, from 19 to 71 years old, adoptive mothers (n = 86), biological mothers (n = 99), future mothers (no parenting experience) (n = 110). The study used the method “The structure of the image of a person (hierarchical)” (V. L. Sitnikov), and test “Resilience of an adult human” (A. V. Makhnach). Results. The functional relationship of socio-perceptual determination and resilience of mothers was defined. Mothers’ self-perception identifies cognitive and regulatory components that influence coping and adaptation. In biological and future mothers, self-perception will include attitude. The perception of children by fostering mothers is that their resilience is linked to the regulatory, behavioral components of the social perception, neutrality or negative attitude. In childhood images, biological mothers relate their resilience to the cognitive, regulatory, behavioral components of social perception, positive or negative attitudes. In childhood images, expectant mothers relate their resilience to the cognitive, regulatory, behavioral components of social perception and negative attitudes. Discussion and Conclusion. The findings contribute to the development of perceptions of patterns of socio-perceptual determination and viability of different types of mothers.

THE OVERLOAD OF THE FAMILY OF THE PERSON WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA: a systematic review

Introduction: Schizophrenia is one of the mental disorders classified as highly incapacitating, promoting a greater exclusion of this individual from his tasks performed, and from his social life. The definition of this diagnosis, although necessary, causes changes not only for this individual, but also affects his family. Objective: This article aims to investigate the occurrence of overload in family caregivers of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Methods: The research consists of a systematic review of the literature with a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach. For the survey of articles in the literature, the following databases were consulted, Scielo, PePsic and the VHL Regional Portal, using the descriptors schizophrenia, burden and caregiver, and the keyword “family”, the search operator used was “and”. Results: The results found, in the selected articles, agree and point to the difficulties experienced by caregivers in the social, economic and health fields, causing high levels of burden. Conclusions: We conclude that by understanding more about the psychological impacts of family members when receiving the diagnosis of schizophrenia from their family members, we make it possible, in addition to greater knowledge of the topic about the total impact on the family, to plan strategies to minimize the impacts in family organization and structure, promoting better quality in the face of the reality of the mental disorder.

Streamlining N-terminally anchored yeast surface display via structural insights into S. cerevisiae Pir proteins

Surface display co-opts yeast’s innate ability to embellish its cell wall with mannoproteins, thus converting the yeast’s outer surface into a growing and self-sustaining catalyst. However, the efficient toolbox for converting the enzyme of interest into its surface-displayed isoform is currently lacking, especially if the isoform needs to be anchored to the cell wall near the isoform’s N-terminus, e.g., through a short GPI-independent protein anchor. Aiming to advance such N-terminally anchored surface display, we employed in silico and machine-learning strategies to study the 3D structure, function, genomic organisation, and evolution of the Pir protein family, whose members evolved to covalently attach themselves near their N-terminus to the β-1,3-glucan of the cell wall. Through the newly-gained insights, we rationally engineered 14 S. cerevisiae Hsp150 (Pir2)-based fusion proteins. We quantified their performance, uncovering guidelines for efficient yeast surface display while developing a construct that promoted a 2.5-fold more efficient display of a reporter protein than the full-length Hsp150. Moreover, we developed a Pir-tag, i.e., a peptide spanning only 4.5 kDa but promoting as efficient surface display of a reporter protein as the full-length Hsp150. These constructs fortify the existing surface display toolbox, allowing for a prompt and routine refitting of intracellular proteins into their N-terminally anchored isoforms.Graphical abstract

Comprehensive Investigation of Cucumber Heat Shock Proteins under Abiotic Stress Conditions: A Multi-Omics Survey.

Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) are a family of proteins essential in preserving the vitality and functionality of proteins under stress conditions. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely grown plant with high nutritional value and is used as a model organism in many studies. This study employed a genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics approach to investigate cucumbers' Hsps against abiotic stress conditions. Bioinformatics methods were used to identify six Hsp families in the cucumber genome and to characterize family members. Transcriptomics data from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database was also conducted to select CsHsp genes for further study. Real-time PCR was used to evaluate gene expression levels under different stress conditions, revealing that CssHsp-08 was a vital gene for resistance to stress conditions; including drought, salinity, cold, heat stresses, and ABA application. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of plant extracts revealed that amino acids accumulate in leaves under high temperatures and roots under drought, while sucrose accumulates in both tissues under applied most stress factors. The study provides valuable insights into the structure, organization, evolution, and expression profiles of the Hsp family and contributes to a better understanding of plant stress mechanisms. These findings have important implications for developing crops that can withstand environmental stress conditions better.

Pertimbangan Hakim dalam Memutus Perkara Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga

This study aims to find out and understand the judge's considerations, which is one aspect that is crucial in determining the realization of the value of a judge's decision that gives a sense of justice (ex aequo et bono). From legal considerations that are considered prismatically, it will produce values ​​of legal certainty, justice, and benefits simultaneously. This research is a normative legal research conducted by examining laws and regulations, books, and journals related to the writing theme. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that the criminal responsibility of perpetrators of domestic violence based on court decisions consists of 2 components, namely juridical considerations, namely judgments made by judges based on judicial facts that were revealed at trials determined by law and required to be included in decisions and non-juridical considerations based on legal provisions and a sense of social justice. As for implementing restorative justice in domestic violence cases, it is applied as a consideration to protect family coherence, especially in fortifying children's futures. Humans think the best way to help victims of crime is to catch the criminals. By paying attention to the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence and the Criminal Procedure Code, the results of court decisions relating to crimes of domestic violence consider the concept of punishment based on restorative justice which is oriented towards recovery efforts and the interests of the perpetrator and the victim of the crime carried out through 5 methods, namely the sufferer culprit mediation, own family organization conferencing, restorative conferencing, community restorative forums, and restorative circles or restorative

Exposure to the Family Wellbeing program and associations with empowerment, health, family and cultural wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: a cross-sectional analysis

BackgroundEmpowerment is an internationally recognised concept commonly incorporated in First Nations and in this instance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing programs. The Family Wellbeing Program is an empowerment program developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that has been widely delivered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia for close to 30 years. To date, there has been limited quantitative analysis of how this program is linked to health and empowerment outcomes.MethodsCross sectional analysis of Mayi Kuwayu, the National Study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing, baseline data (n = 9,843) recruited using multi-mode random sampling including mail out survey and in community convenience sampling. Logistic regression models were performed to calculate Prevalence Ratios (PRs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) to examine the association between personal control, life satisfaction, general health, family wellbeing and cultural wellbeing outcomes for Family Wellbeing participants (n = 718) versus non-participants (n = 9,125).ResultsCompared with non-FWB participants, FWB participants are more likely to be female (67.1% versus 58.4%), be aged 35–54 (41.8% versus 32.0%) and live in a remote area (17.7% versus 10.4%) and have educational attainment at the Year 12 level or above (57.8% versus 53.2%). Family Wellbeing participation was associated with a 13% higher reporting of family functioning, a 74% higher reporting of cultural participation and a 21% in higher reporting of local decision making in the local community compared to non-FWB participants. There were significant associations between FWB exposure compared to non-FWB exposure including reporting lower levels of health risk factors including quitting alcohol (26.4% versus 20.4%), regular exercise (67.7% versus 66.3%), quitting smoking (33.4% versus 31.9%). and e. FWB participants who had experienced both prison and youth detention were nearly double that of Non-FWB (3.5% versus 1.4%) and more reported being removed from their families as children (Stolen) (7.0% versus 4.1% Non-FWB).ConclusionThere are significant associations between Family Wellbeing exposure and organisation and community level empowerment outcomes, but only for some individual level empowerment outcomes. There is a lower reporting health risk factors including increased physical exercise, reduced alcohol use and smoking; and educational attainment among FWB participants compared to non-FWB participants. The results suggest individual, community and organisational empowerment needs to be explored further with more robust study designs that can attribute causality and direction of association.

The impact of family support and organization on adolescents during school closure under Covid-19 lockdown regulations in an area of South Africa.

The Covid-19 pandemic and resultant disruptions to schooling presented significant challenges for many families. Well organised families have been shown to have a protective effect on adolescent wellbeing in periods of shock. At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Asenze, a population-based cohort study, was conducting a third wave of data collection in peri-urban South Africa, examining risk and protective factors during adolescence. By March 2020, n = 272 adolescents and their caregivers (n = 241) in the cohort had been assessed when in-person data collection was halted by lockdown measures countrywide. During this cessation we undertook a brief telephonic qualitative sub-study to explore whether families enrolled in the cohort were able to cohabit cohesively and undertake distance learning during lockdown. A purposeful sample of 20 families (caregivers n = 20, adolescents n = 24) recently assessed in the Wave 3 of the main study, participated in semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data from Waves 1-3 of the main study was used to measure family function, adolescent cognitive function, and profile adolescent and caregivers. The quantitative and qualitative data were integrated to illustrate the dynamics of the participants' lives before and during lockdown. We found that families classified as well-organized before lockdown, were more likely to report co-operation during lockdown. Adolescents who were self-motivated, had access to smartphones or the internet, and were supported by both family and educators, were well-placed to continue their education without much disruption. However, few schools instituted distance learning. Of the adolescents who were not assisted- some studied on their own or with peers, but others did no schoolwork, hindered by a lack of digital connectivity, and poor service delivery. The experience of adolescence and caregivers in the Asenze Cohort during lockdown highlight the importance of family functioning for adolescent wellbeing in crisis, as well as the need for access to health, mental health, and social services, communication upgrades, and enhancements to the education system during peaceful times, to make a difference to young lives in times of crisis.

SPECIFIC CHALLENGES OF WITNESS SUPPORT ASSOCIATES IN CONTACT WITH WITNESSES AND VICTIMS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

The pandemic COVID-19 has affected all functioning spheres: family organization, school closures, workplaces, and public places. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the coronavirus pandemic affected changes in people's everyday life. Epidemiological measures were introduced to spread the infection and prevent the disease. Among other things, the work of judicial institutions was hampered; the testimony of witnesses and victims in criminal cases was difficult too. A better understanding of the specific experiences faced by witness support staff at the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the coronavirus pandemic in communicating with witnesses and victims could be helpful to professionals in dealing with similar situations in a specific context. This study investigates how much the pandemic affected the contacts, motivation, and mental health of persons who, in the period after the outbreak of the pandemic, were called witnesses in the cases processed before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 2020 and 2021 year.

Up the Hill: The Familial-institutional Reproduction of the Black Upper-middle Class

This article explores the distinct social reproductive practices of the Black upper-middle class. In particular, this study focuses on the role of community organizations in socializing the collective habitus of a community at the intersection of Blackness and class privilege. I draw on interview data from members of one Black upper-middle class organization, Jack and Jill of America Inc., to identify how families and institutions collaborate to socialize children into a particular raced-classed habitus, passing on ideologies, discursive habits, and behavioral strategies aimed at producing citizens who are both culturally empathetic and socioeconomically mobile. I find that mothers rely on the blurred boundaries between family and social organizations to legitimate and reinforce the lessons taught at home. In particular, mothers explicitly socialize identity and affinity within a racial community while simultaneously socializing implicit, but powerful, behavioral habits related to social class.

MiR-430 microRNA Family in Fishes: Molecular Characterization and Evolution.

The miR-430 microRNA family has been described in multiple fish species as one of the first microRNAs expressed by the zygote. It has been suggested that this family is implicated in maternal mRNA elimination, but may also play a role in steroidogenesis, sexual differentiation, and flatfish metamorphosis. The miR-430 sequences have been found in multiple-copy tandem clusters but evidence of their conservation outside of teleost fishes is scarce. In the present study, we have characterized the tandem repeats organization of these microRNAs in different fish species, both model and of interest in aquaculture. A phylogenetic analysis of this family has allowed us to identify that the miR-430 duplication, which took place before the Chondrostei and Neopterygii groups' divergence, has resulted in three variants ("a", "b", and "c"). According to our data, variant "b" is the most closely related to the ancestral sequence. Furthermore, we have detected isolated instances of the miR-430 repeat subunit in some species, which suggests that this microRNA family may be affected by DNA rearrangements. This study provides new data about the abundance, variability, and organization of the miR-430 family in fishes.
