SummaryThe genusSciomesaTams & Bowden (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Noctuinae: Apameini: Sesamiina) is a predominantly Afrotropical group of stemborer moths whose convoluted taxonomic history needs to be clarified. In this study, a comprehensive examination of specimens in collections was carried out in a complementary manner with molecular analyses, resulting in the following changes: (i) 12 newSciomesaspecies are described:S. lalokelin. ***. metiminkon. *** Ethiopia;S. elgonensisn. sp.,S. nigran. ***. similliman. *** Kenya;S. umvotin. *** South Africa;S. iboyan. sp.,S. lilomwin. sp.,S. maketen. sp.,S. njomben. ***. tanganyikan. *** Tanzania;S. kalinzun. *** Uganda; (ii) four species are reinstated as valid species: three of them,S. constantiniLaportestat. rev.,S. etchecopariLaportestat. ***. mirificaLaportestat. rev., were previously synonymized withS. mesophaea(Hampson) whileS. congitae(Laporte)stat. *** previously synonymized withS. boulardi(Laporte); (iii) two species are synonymized:S. minuscula(Laporte)n. syn., which was previously synonymized withS. boulardi, is a synonym ofS. congitae, andS. franciscaeLaporten. *** a synonym ofS. mesophaea; (iv) one species,Sesamia punctipennisKrügerstat. rev., which was transferred to theSciomesagenus, is removed from the genusSciomesaand temporarily reinstated to the genusSesamiaGuenée pending a new combination. A supplemental description for 12 previously described species is also provided:S. boulardi,S. buaMoyal et al.,S. constantini,S. etchecopari,S. excelsa(Laporte),S. gnosiaMoyal et al.,S. mesophaea,S. congitae,S. mirifica,S. renibifidaBerio,S. scotochroa(Hampson) andS. venataFletcher. Host-plant records are provided for 10Sciomesaspecies, confirming a pattern of phylogenetic niche conservatism on Poales plants in the Cyperaceae family. Phylogenetic and molecular species delimitation analyses were carried out on a multimarker (four mitochondrial and two nuclear genes) molecular

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. We conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 100,204 CRC cases and 154,587 controls of European and east Asian ancestry, identifying 205 independent risk associations, of which 50 were unreported. We performed integrative genomic, transcriptomic and methylomic analyses across large bowel mucosa and other tissues. Transcriptome- and methylome-wide association studies revealed an additional 53 risk associations. We identified 155 high-confidence effector genes functionally linked to CRC risk, many of which had no previously established role in CRC. These have multiple different functions and specifically indicate that variation in normal colorectal homeostasis, proliferation, cell adhesion, migration, immunity and microbial interactions determines CRC risk. Crosstissue analyses indicated that over a third of effector genes most probably act outside the colonic mucosa. Our findings provide insights into colorectal oncogenesis and highlight potential targets across tissues for new CRC treatment and chemoprevention strategies.

The first measurements of proton emission accompanied by neutron emission in the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) of Pb208 nuclei in the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The EMD protons and neutrons emitted at very forward rapidities are detected by the proton and neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment. The emission cross sections of zero, one, two, and three protons accompanied by at least one neutron were measured in ultraperipheral Pb208−Pb208 collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02TeV. The 0p and 3p cross sections are described by the RELDIS model within their measurement uncertainties, while the 1p and 2p cross sections are underestimated by the model by 17–25%. According to this model, these 0p, 1p, 2p, and 3p cross sections are associated, respectively, with the production of various isotopes of Pb, Tl, Hg, and Au in the EMD of Pb208. The cross sections of the emission of a single proton accompanied by the emission of one, two, or three neutrons in EMD were also measured. The data are significantly overestimated by the RELDIS model, which predicts that the (1p,1n), (1p,2n), and (1p,3n) cross sections are very similar to the cross sections for the production of the thallium isotopes Tl206,205,204.
