Frontiers | Divergence With Gene Flow and Contrasting Population Size Blur the Species Boundary in Cycas Sect. Asiorientales, as Inferred From Morphology and RAD-Seq Data
Introduction Incipient species are critical for evolutionary biologists to study speciation, but they also challenge taxonomy due to gene flow or ancestral polymorphism. The former and contrasting population size lead to larger intraspecific than interspecific variations, a phenomenon called the species-definition anomaly zone (Jiao and Yang, 2021). The latter results…

Pan-AMPK activator O304 prevents gene expression changes and remobilisation of histone marks in islets of diet-induced obese mice
O304 treatment prevents islet gene expression signature changes induced by HFD We have previously demonstrated that the AMPK activator O304 improves blood glucose homeostasis in both human T2D subjects as well as in high-fat diet induced obese and diabetic mouse models. In the present study, we have now analysed the…

Systems biology analysis of human genomes points to key pathways conferring spina bifida risk
Significance Genetic investigations of most structural birth defects, including spina bifida (SB), congenital heart disease, and craniofacial anomalies, have been underpowered for genome-wide association studies because of their rarity, genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, and environmental influences. Our systems biology strategy to investigate SB predisposition controls for population stratification and avoids…
r – Error in colSums(mat) : ‘x’ must be numeric GOchord plot
I was trying to plot the gene chord diagram, but I got an error” Error in colSums(mat) : ‘x’ must be numeric”. I prepared the file myself, I submitted the target genes on Metascape, all these genes were enriched and picked from 6 signal pathways clusters. And then I downloaded…
Establishment of sunitinib-resistant CDX model of ccRCC
Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2–3% of all malignant tumors, and its prevalence is rising. Metastatic RCC accounts for 25–30% of all RCC cases, and has an exceedingly poor prognosis.1 In 2020, among approximately 430,000 newly discovered cases of RCC, 179,000 died.2 Clear cell renal cell carcinoma…
Novel bioinformatics pipeline for fast and scalable analysis of large viral phylogenies
A team of researchers recently developed a bioinformatics approach to analyze viral phylogenetic clusters and posted their findings to the bioRxiv* preprint server. Study: ClusTRace, a bioinformatic pipeline for analyzing clusters in virus phylogenies. Image Credit: M. PATTHAWEE/Shutterstock Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)…
spatial 10X visum analysis
spatial 10X visum analysis 0 I have data of spatial 10X visium transcriptome. I are working on different conditions with two replicate each (A1, A2, B1,B2) . All samples were submitted in spaceranger pipeline along with “image” data . Now I have output from spaceranger ( feature matrix and so…
Single-cell delineation of lineage and genetic identity in the mouse brain
STICR lentiviral library preparation and validation We synthesized a high-complexity lentivirus barcode library that encodes approximately 60–70 million distinct oligonucleotide RNA sequences (STICR barcodes). STICR barcodes comprised three distinct oligonucleotide fragments cloned sequentially into a multicloning site within the 3′ UTR of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) transgene under…
Webinar: Batch System at OSC
OSC will host a webinar on the SLURM batch system on Owens and Pitzer, on January 19, 2022, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. We will discuss SLURM syntax and go through hands-on activities on submitting, running, and managing jobs on the clusters using SLURM batch scripts and interactive batch sessions. Who…

Adding numbers and characters to legend key in ggplot2 of UMAP clusters
Adding numbers and characters to legend key in ggplot2 of UMAP clusters 0 Hi everyone, I have a UMAP cluster, however there are so many clusters that the descriptions look clunky if i put them on the umap…but then there are too many colors if it just colors. So, i…
NoMachine Forums – NoMachine and slurm created cgroups
Hello everyone, We installed NoMachine on clusters we use remotely. These clusters are handled with a scheduler called slurm. Every time a user allocate a node with slurm, its session enters a cgroup which bounds the resources the user can use. Slurm allows for example one user to use a…
Prognosis Biomarkers via WGCNA in HCC
Introduction According to the cancer statistics reported in 2020, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main type of Primary Carcinoma of the Liver and the second leading causes of cancer-related death globally, with a five-year survival rate < 20%.1 Currently, surgical resection, a standard therapy for HCC, contributes to the prognosis…
What is the single nucleotide polymorphism database ( dbsnp )?
The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database (dbSNP) is a free public archive for genetic variation within and across different species developed and hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Furthermore, are there any databases for single nucleotide polymorphisms?As there…

Discovery and Biosynthesis of Natural Products from New Zealand Soil Metagenome Libraries
Antibiotic discovery rates dramatically declined following the “golden age” of the 1940’s to the 1960’s. The platforms that underpinned that age of discovery rested upon laboratory cultivation of a small clade of bacteria, the actinomycetes, primarily isolated from soil environments. Fermentation extracts of these isolated bacteria have provided the majority…
