Innovative nanomaterials offer significant potential for diagnosis of severe diseases of the developing world such as malaria. Small sized silver nanoclusters have shown promise for diagnostics due to their intense fluorescence emission and photo-stabilities. Here, double-stranded DNA-scaffolded silver nanoclusters (AgNCs-dsDNA) were prepared to detect the established malaria biomarker, Plasmod...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Apoderus coryli (the hazel leaf roller; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Attelabidae). The sequence is 428 megabases in span. majority (98.90%) of the scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with X and Y sex chromosomes assembled.
