The appearance of uracil in the deoxyuridine moiety of DNA is among the most frequently occurring genomic modifications. Three different routes can result in genomic uracil, two of which do not require specific enzymes: spontaneous cytosine deamination due to the inherent chemical reactivity of living cells, and thymine-replacing incorporation upon nucleotide pool imbalances. There is also an enzymatic pathway of cytosine deamination with multiple DNA (cytosine) deaminases involved in this process. In order to describe potential roles of genomic uracil, it is of key importance to utilize efficient uracil-DNA detection methods. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and critical assessment of currently available uracil detection methods with special focus on genome-wide mapping solutions. Recent developments in PCR-based and in situ detection as well as the quantitation of genomic uracil are also discussed.

In order to get ridded of the non real-time detection methods of artificial site sampled and laboratory instrument analyzed in the field of methane detection in the offshore shallow gas, real-time in-situ detection system for methane in offshore shallow gas was designed by the film interface.The methane in the offshore shallow gas through the gas-liquid separation membrane of polymer permeation into the system internal detection probe, analog infrared micro gas sensor sensed the methane concentration and the corresponded output value, data acquisition and communication node fitted into standard gas concentration.Based on the experimental data compared with the traditional detection method, and further analyzed the causes of error produced by the case experiment. The application results show that the system can achieve a single borehole layout, long-term on-line in-situ on-line detection, and improve the detection efficiency and the timeliness of the detection data.

Genetics of anxiety disorders highlights recent developments in the identification of genetic variation associated with specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and cross-disorder intermediate phenotypes like neuroticism/negative affectivity, introversion, behavioural inhibition, harm avoidance, and anxiety sensitivity. It reviews evidence gathered by family and twin studies, structural and rare variations, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), candidate genes, gene–environment, and epigenetic approaches. Special focus is placed upon functional hypotheses linked to the serotonergic and catecholaminergic, as well as neuropeptide and neurohormonal, signalling systems, followed by multi-level neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and behavioural investigations of anxiety- and fear-related traits. Special emphasis is put on dimensional psychopathology and biomarkers of disease course, susceptibility, and treatment response to cognitive behavioural therapy or psychopharmacological interventions. Moreover, challenges and perspectives are addressed related to drug discovery, personalized medicine, polygenic risk assessment, relevance to nosological domains, and plasticity of the underlying epigenetic architecture.
