In recent years, the long-read sequencing technology has been developing rapidly, playing a crucial role in research fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenetics, and showing broad application prospects in the field of clinical testing. This paper introduces the basic principles and performance of the main long-read sequencing platforms, reviews the research progress of this technology in preimplantation genetic testing, and discusses the major challenges currently faced and possible future directions.

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite and causes serious harm to human and ani-mal health.In recent years,a large amount of research has been conducted on the immunological mechanism of toxo-plasmosis,especially in the immune privileged regions of the host,such as brain,eyes,and placenta.This review summaries the immunological mechanism required for resistance to toxoplasmosis,which may provide a valuable ref-erence for the diagnosis,treatment,and prevention studies.

Objective To study the role of cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotide(CpG ODN) on the development of Plasmodium liver stage.Methods Plasmodium yoelii BY265 18S rRNA was cloned,and the TaqMan real-time PCR was established on P.yoelii BY265 18S rRNA and mouse GAPDH as quantitative analysis model.The model was tested by the level of liver Plasmodium load with the liver cDNA in BALB/c mice infected by salivary gland sporozoites for 42 hours.Twelve BALB/c mice were randomly divided into CpG group,CpG control group and PBS control group which were injected respectively by ODN1826 30 ?g,ODN1826 control 30 ?g and 0.01 mol/L PBS 200 ?l via vena caudalis.Twenty-four hours later,each mouse was inoculated with 100 sporozoites.Mice were sacrificed in 42 hours after infection,and the liver load of Plasmodium was analyzed by TaqMan real-time PCR.Results The cloned Py BY265 18S rRNA gene showed 98% similarity to Py 17XNL.The quantitative analysis model consisted by 18S rRNA and GAPDH showed positive correlation between the level of liver Plasmodium load and the sporozoite inoculation dose to mice.The Plasmodium load in CpG ODN pre-treated mice was reduced to one fifth of the control group(0.28/1.33)(P
