Issues in the analysis of oligonucleotide tiling microarrays for transcript mapping

Traditional microarrays use probes complementary to known genes to quantitate the differential gene expression between two or more conditions. Genomic tiling microarray experiments differ in that probes that span a genomic region at regular intervals are used to detect the presence or absence of transcription. This difference means the same sets of biases and the methods for addressing them are unlikely to be relevant to both types of experiment. We introduce the informatics challenges arising in the analysis of tiling microarray experiments as open problems to the scientific community and present initial approaches for the analysis of this nascent technology.

Laboratory Astrophysics White Paper

Laboratory astrophysics and complementary theoretical calculations are the foundations of astronomical and planetary research and will remain so for many generations to come. From the level of scientific conception to that of the scientific return, it is our understanding of the underlying processes that allows us to address fundamental questions regarding the origins and evolution of galaxies, stars, planetary systems, and life in the cosmos. In this regard, laboratory astrophysics is much like detector and instrument development at NASA and NSF; these efforts are necessary for the astronomical research being funded by the agencies. The NASA Laboratory Astrophysics Workshop met at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) from 14-16 February, 2006 to identify the current laboratory data needed to support existing and future NASA missions and programs in the Astrophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). Here we refer to both laboratory and theoretical work as laboratory astrophysics unless a distinction is necessary. The format for the Workshop involved invited talks by users of laboratory data, shorter contributed talks and poster presentations by both users and providers that highlighted exciting developments in laboratory astrophysics, and breakout sessions where users and providers discussed each others' needs and limitations. We also note that the members of the Scientific Organizing Committee are users as well as providers of laboratory data. As in previous workshops, the focus was on atomic, molecular, and solid state physics.

CALIPSO Observations of Stratospheric Aerosols: A Preliminary Assessment

We have examined the 532-nm aerosol backscatter coefficient measurements by the Cloud- Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) for their use in the observation of stratospheric aerosol. CALIPSO makes observations that span from 82 S to 82 N each day and, for each profile, backscatter coefficient values reported up to approx. 40 km. The possibility of using CALIPSO for stratospheric aerosol observations is demonstrated by the clear observation of the 20 May 2006 eruption of Montserrat in the earliest CALIPSO data in early June as well as by observations showing the 7 October 2006 eruption of Tavurvur (Rabaul). However, the very low aerosol loading within the stratosphere makes routine observations of the stratospheric aerosol far more difficult than relatively dense volcanic plumes. Nonetheless, we found that averaging a complete days worth of nighttime only data into 5-deg latitude by 1-km vertical bins reveals a stratospheric aerosol data centered near an altitude of 20 km, the clean wintertime polar vortices, and a small maximum in the lower tropical stratosphere. However, the derived values are clearly too small and often negative in much of the stratosphere. The data can be significantly improved by increasing the measured backscatter (molecular and aerosol) by approximately 5% suggesting that the current method of calibrating to a pure molecular atmosphere at 30 km is most likely the source of the low values.

Hydrogen (H) Isotope Composition of Type II Kerogen Extracted by Pyrolysis-GC-MS-IRMS: Terrestrial Shale Deposits as Martian Analogs

Described here is a technique for H isotope analysis of organic compounds pyrolyzed from kerogens isolated from gas‐ and liquids‐rich shales. Application of this technique will progress the understanding of the use of H isotopes not only in potential kerogen occurrences on Mars, but also in terrestrial oil and gas resource plays. H isotope extraction and analyses were carried out utilizing a CDS 5000 Pyroprobe connected to a Thermo Trace GC interfaced with a Thermo MAT 253 IRMS. Also, a split of GC‐separated products was sent to a DSQ II quadrupole MS to make qualitative and semi‐quantitative compositional measurements of these products. Kerogen samples from five different basins (type II and II‐S) were dehydrated (heated to 80 C overnight under vacuum) and analyzed for their H isotope compositions by Pyrolysis‐GC‐MS‐TC‐IRMS. This technique takes pyrolysis products separated via GC and reacts them in a high temperature conversion furnace (1450 C), which quantitatively forms H2. Samples ranging from ~0.5 to 1.0mg in size, were pyrolyzed at 800 C for 30s. and separated on a Poraplot Q GC column. H isotope data from all kerogen samples typically show enrichment in D from low to high molecular weight. H2O average delta D = ‐215.2 per mille (V‐SMOW), ranging from ‐ 271.8 per mille for the Marcellus Shale to ‐51.9 per mille for a Polish shale. Higher molecular weight compounds like toluene (C7H8) have an average delta D of ‐89.7 per mille, ranging from ‐156.0 per mille for the Barnett Shale to ‐50.0 per mille for the Monterey Shale. We interpret these data as representative of potential H isotope exchange between hydrocarbons and sediment pore water during basin formation. Since hydrocarbon H isotopes readily exchange with water, these data may provide some useful information on gas‐water or oil‐water interaction in resource plays, and further as a possible indicator of paleoenvironmental conditions. Alternatively, our data may be an indication of H isotope exchange with water and/or acid during the kerogen isolation process. Either of these interpretations will prove useful when deciphering H isotope data derived from kerogen analyses. Understanding the role that these H‐bearing compounds play in terrestrial shale paleo‐environmental reconstruction may also prove useful as analogs for understanding the interactions of water and potential kerogen/organic compounds on the planet Mars.

Laboratory Astrophysics: The Universe in the Palm of Your Hand

Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), a class of organic molecules whose structures are characterized by the presence of two or more fused aromatic rings, have been the subject of astrophysical interest for nearly two decades. Large by interstellar standards (from as few as 20 to perhaps as many as several hundred atoms), it has been suggested that these species are among the most abundant interstellar molecules impacting a wide range of astrophysical phenomena including: (1) the ubiquitous family of infrared emission bands observed in an ever-increasing assortment of astronomical objects; (2) the subtle but rich array of discrete visible/near-infrared interstellar molecular absorption features known as the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs); (3) the broad near-infrared quasi-continuum observed in a number of nebulae known as excess red emission (ERE); (4) the interstellar ultraviolet extinction curve and broad '2200 Angstrom bump'; and (5) the heating/cooling mechanisms of interstellar clouds. Nevertheless, until recently a lack of good-quality laboratory spectroscopic data on PACs under astrophysically relevant conditions (i.e. isolated, ionized molecules, ionized molecular clusters, etc.) has hindered critical evaluation and extension of this model. Fortunately, the last decade has seen an explosion of experimental and theoretical techniques aimed specifically at addressing these issues. Indeed, many of these techniques will be explored in the series of talks which constitute this forum. This talk will provide an overview of the studies of the spectroscopic properties of isolated, neutral, and ionized PACs that have been conducted in the Astrochemistry Laboratory at NASA Ames, together with a consideration of their implications for astrophysics. Particular attention will be paid to models of the interstellar infrared emission spectra generated using the available database of laboratory PAC infrared spectra and the natural ability of this database to accommodate the variations observed in the astronomical spectra. Such models provide insight into the structure, abundance, and ionization state of the interstellar PAC population and, in turn, provide direct insight into the processes of carbon nucleation, growth and evolution as matter is processed through the interstellar medium. These models will be followed by a more in depth look at some specific aspects of the interstellar infrared emission spectrum, considering both what we can learn about them and what we can learn from them. Finally, some of the limitations of the current model and the available spectroscopic dataset will be 'dered along with future experimental directions designed to address these shortcomings. Further information about this and the related areas of research currently ongoing in the Astrochemistry Laboratory can be found at our world wide web site. http://www-space.arc.nasa.gov/(tilda)astrochem

The Temperature and Distribution of Organic Molecules in the Inner Regions of T Tauri Disks

"High-resolution NIR spectroscopic observations of warm molecular gas emission from young circumstellar disks allow us to constrain the temperature and composition of material in the inner planet-forming region. By combining advanced data reduction algorithms with accurate modeling of the terrestrial atmospheric spectrum and a novel double-differencing data analysis technique, we have achieved very high-contrast measurements (S/N approx. 500-1000) of molecular emission at 3 microns. In disks around low-mass stars, we have achieved the first detections of emission from HCN and C2H2 at near-infrared wavelengths from several bright T Tauri stars using the CRIRES spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope and NIRSPEC spectrograph on the Keck Telescope. We spectrally resolve the line shape, showing that the emission has both a Keplerian and non-Keplerian component as observed previously for CO emission. We used a simplified single-temperature local thermal equilibrium (LTE) slab model with a Gaussian line profile to make line identifications and determine a best-fit temperature and initial abundance ratios, and we then compared these values with constraints derived from a detailed disk radiative transfer model assuming LTE excitation but utilizing a realistic temperature and density structure. Abundance ratios from both sets of models are consistent with each other and consistent with expected values from theoretical chemical models, and analysis of the line shapes suggests that the molecular emission originates from within a narrow region in the inner disk (R < 1 AU)."

Validated ligand geometries for macromolecular refinement restraints and molecular-mechanics force fields

In macromolecular structure refinement, the low observation-to-parameter ratio and the lack of high-resolution data are countered by using a priori information in the form of restraints. Having accurate geometries of the chemical entities in the sample is paramount for generating accurate chemical restraints and, therefore, accurate macromolecular structures. In particular, it is desirable to have accurate restraints for known and novel ligand entities. Quantum mechanics (QM) can minimize the energy of a ligand by adjusting its geometry, and these geometries can be used to generate restraints for macromolecular refinement. This article describes a library of approximately 37 000 small molecules extracted from the Chemical Component Dictionary in the Protein Data Bank and minimized by density-functional QM. The library includes restraint files for use in crystallography or cryo-EM refinement, along with files suitable for molecular-dynamics simulation. Because the geometries are validated using the Cambridge Structural Database, the restraints library provides users with both functional restraints and minimized geometries. This work also provides procedures for generating new and accurate restraints.

Dramatic effect of electrode type on tunnel junction based molecular spintronic devices

A new class of molecular spintronic devices can be fabricated by chemically bonding magnetic molecular channels to the electrodes of a prefabricated tunnel junction with exposed side edges. Prior experimental studies showed that the cyanide-bridged octametallic molecular cluster, [(pzTp)FeIII(CN)3]4[NiII(L)]4¬[O3SCF3]4 [(pzTp) = tetra(pyrazol-1-yl)borate; L = 1-S(acetyl)tris(pyrazolyl)decane] molecule impact depended on the type of metallic electrodes used in the tunnel junction testbed. Experimental magnetization and transport studies showed a dramatic difference in molecule response on tunnel junctions with different combinations of metallic electrodes. Transport via paramagnetic molecular channels on a tunnel junction involving paramagnetic and ferromagnetic metal electrodes was dramatically different than the suppressed current state observed on tunnel junctions involving two ferromagnetic electrodes. We conducted theoretical studies to understand the experimental data and explore a wide range of electrode materials on tunnel junction-based molecular spintronics devices (TJMSD). Here, we report a Monte Carlo simulation study that focuses on understanding the effect of electrodes on the magnetic and physical properties of TJMSD. A 3D Heisenberg model of cross-junction-shaped TJMSD was used for the simulation study. We studied the effects of ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and antiferromagnetic electrode materials. This study provides insights for designing and understanding futuristic molecular spintronics devices.

Effects of different convection models upon the high-latitude ionosphere

The plasma convection models of Volland (1975) and Heelis (1982) are utilized to study the ionosphere. The parameters for the two models are evaluated. The two-cell convection models have similar total cross tail electric potential, diameter of the polar cap, and potential falloff rate outside the polar cap; however, they differ in maximum potential, and the electric field in the polar cap. The input parameters for the high-latitude ionospheric model are described. Two high-latitude ionospheric model runs were conducted and the data are compared in terms of electron density at and above the F 2 peak, attitude of the F 2 peak, ion temperature, and molecular-atomic ion transition height. The altitude dependence of electron density is analyzed using coherent scatter radar data. The data reveal differences between the two models in the height of the F 2 peak and in the ion temperature. The altitude values of the Heelis model are higher than the Volland model in the region where plasma is transported into the polar cap and lower in the region plasma is transported out of the polar cap; the Heelis model also produces an increase in ion temperature. It is noted that the ionosphere has a limited dependence upon the details of the convection models.

The Anatomy of the Perseus Spiral ARM: (sup 12)CO and IRAS Imaging Observations of the W3-W4-W5 Cloud Complex

Panoramic images of (sup l2)CO J = 1-0 and thermal dust emissions from the W3-W4-W5 region of the outer Galaxy are presented. These data and recently published H (sub I) 21 cm line emission images provide an approx. 1 min resolution perspective to the dynamics and thermal energy content of the interstellar gas and dust components contained within a 9 deg arc of the Perseus spiral arm. We tabulate the molecular properties of 1560 clouds identified as closed surfaces within the l-b-v CO data cube at a threshold of 0.9 K T(sup *)(sub R). Relative surface densities of the molecular (28:1) and atomic (2.5: 1) gas components determined within the arm and interarm velocity intervals demonstrate that the gas component that enters the spiral arm is predominantly atomic. Molecular clouds must necessarily condense from the compressed atomic material that enters the spiral arm and are likely short lived within the interarm regions. From the distribution of centroid velocities of clouds, we determine a random cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersion of 4 km/s over the width of the spiral arm but find no clear evidence within the molecular gas for streaming motions induced by the spiral potential. The far-infrared images are analyzed with the CO J = 1-0 and H (sub I) 21 cm line emission. The enhanced UV radiation field from members of the Cas OB6 association and embedded newborn stars provide a significant source of heating to the extended dust component within the Perseus arm relative to the quiescent cirrus regions. Much of the measured far-infrared flux (69% at 60 microns and 47% at 100 microns) originates from regions associated with star formation rather than the extended, infrared cirrus component.

19-LW-045 Full Length Final Report. Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenesis: Waging the Arms Race with Superbugs

As the current global pandemic makes abundantly clear, we need a better understanding of infectious disease to safeguard human health, the economy and global security. Modern omics techniques hold the promise of providing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms of life, including causes of pathogenesis from infectious disease at the molecular level, but we there is a serious gap in annotation of gene function. For as much as half of the genes and gene products encoded in genomes the molecular and/or cellular function is unknown or only partially understood. Recent innovations in fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging and genetic engineering make it possible to determine the temporal correlation between molecular events, such as a gene being expressed due to host-pathogen interaction, and cellular events, such as bacterial invasion of immune cells. This is turn allows us to gain new insight as to the molecular and cellular role of individual genes and will enable the discovery and validation of new molecular mechanisms essential for infectious disease. Knowing the molecular mechanisms of disease processes will provide new therapeutic targets or novel countermeasure strategies. We aimed to develop a lattice light sheet fluorescence microscope as a unique resource at LLNL for long time course live cell imaging experiments; to develop the reagents and cell lines needed to monitor molecular events during the course pathogenic bacteria infecting mammalian immune cells; and to demonstrate that we could capture molecular events during an infection. We fully commissioned the LLNL lattice light sheet microscope and conducted initial proof of principle imaging experiments on mammalian immune cells and pathogenic bacteria. It is clear from the experience gained that long time course live cell imaging has tremendous potential to help elucidate molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions and to help annotate gene function, which would establish a basis for new countermeasures. It is also clear that if live cell imaging is to realize its full potential new data processing and analysis tools will need to be developed to facilitate analysis of molecular events within cells; new sample chambers and stages could facilitate studies with a wider range of cell and tissue types; and alternative molecular tagging methods need to be explored to enable more facile engineering of cells labeled with molecular specificity.

Examining a hadronic γ-ray scenario for the radiative shell and molecular clouds of the old GeV supernova remnant G298.6−0.0

Abstract Based on the 13.7 yr Fermi-LAT data, Yeung, Bamba, and Sano (2023, PASJ, 75, 384) claimed detection of two γ-ray sources (namely Src-NE and Src-NW) associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) G298.6−0.0, and interpreted it as an old GeV SNR interacting with molecular clouds (MCs). In this follow-up study, we refine the flux measurements below 2 GeV with Fermi-LAT event types of better angular reconstruction. Then, we report our γ-ray spectral fittings and cosmic-ray phenomenology in a hadronic scenario, considering both the shell and MC regions of SNR G298.6−0.0. We confirm that the γ-ray spectra of both Src-NE and Src-NW exhibit spectral breaks, at $1.50_{-0.50}^{+0.60}$ and $0.68_{-0.11}^{+0.32}\:$GeV, respectively. Src-NW has a harder broad-band photon index than Src-NE, suggesting an appreciable difference between the physical separations of their respective emission sites from SNR G298.6−0.0. The cosmic-ray spectrum responsible for Src-NE starts with a minimum energy $E_\mathrm{CR,min}=1.38_{-0.16}^{+0.47}\:$GeV, and has a proton index $\Gamma _\mathrm{CR}=2.57_{-0.21}^{+0.18}$ below the exponential cutoff energy $E_\mathrm{CR,max}=240_{-150}^{+240}\:$GeV. Accordingly, we argue that Src-NE is dominated by the SNR shell, while only a minor portion of lower-energy emission is contributed by the MCs interacting with the SNR. The cosmic-ray population for Src-NW starts at a higher energy such that the ECR, min ratio of Src-NW to Src-NE is ≳2. The high ECR, min, as well as the high cosmic-ray energy density required (∼26 eV cm−3), supports the interpretation that Src-NW is predominantly the γ-ray emission from the farther MCs being bombarded by protons that had earlier escaped from SNR G298.6−0.0. By comparing the high-energy features of G298.6−0.0 with those of analogical SNRs, especially SNR W 28 and SNR W 44, we further constrain the age of SNR G298.6−0.0 to be 10–30 kyr, under the assumption of a purely hadronic scenario.

(abstract)Electron Impact Emission Cross Sections for Modeling UV Auroral and Dayglow Observations of the Upper Atmospheres of Planets

In the upper atmospheres of the Jovian and Terrestrial planets a dominant mechanism for energy transfer occurs through electron collisional processes with neutral species leading to UV radiation. In response to the need for accurate collision cross sections to model spectroscopic observations of planetary systems, JPL has measured in the laboratory emission cross sections and medium resolution spectra of H, H(sub 2), N(sub 2), SO(sub 2), and other important planetary gases.Voyager and International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spacecraft have established that band systems of H(sub 2) and N(sub 2) are the dominant UV molecular emissions in the solar system produced by electron impact. Applications of our data to models of Voyager, IUE, Galileo, and Hubble Space Telescope observations of the planets will be described.

Ab initio calculations in atoms, molecules, and solids, treating spin–orbit coupling and electron interaction on an equal footing

We incorporate explicit, non-perturbative treatment of spin–orbit coupling into ab initio auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) calculations. The approach allows a general computational framework for molecular and bulk systems in which material specificity, electron correlation, and spin–orbit coupling effects can be captured accurately and on an equal footing, with favorable computational scaling vs system size. We adopt relativistic effective-core potentials that have been obtained by fitting to fully relativistic data and that have demonstrated a high degree of reliability and transferability in molecular systems. This results in a two-component spin-coupled Hamiltonian, which is then treated by generalizing the ab initio AFQMC approach. We demonstrate the method by computing the electron affinity in Pb, the bond dissociation energy in Br 2 and I 2 , and solid Bi.

Bone Blood Flow During Simulated Microgravity: Physiological and Molecular Mechanisms

Blood flow to bone has been shown to affect bone mass and presumably bone strength. Preliminary data indicate that blood flow to the rat femur decreases after 14 days of simulated microgravity, using hindlimb suspension (HLS). If adult rats subjected to HLS are given dobutamine, a synthetic catecholamine which can cause peripheral vasodilation and increased blood flow, the loss of cortical bone area usually observed is prevented. Further, mechanisms exist at the molecular level to link changes in bone blood flow to changes in bone cell activity, particularly for vasoactive agents like nitric oxide (NO). The decreases in fluid shear stress created by fluid flow associated with the shifts of plasma volume during microgravity may result in alterations in expression of vasoactive agents such as NO, producing important functional effects on bone cells. The primary aim of this project is to characterize changes in 1) bone blood flow, 2) indices of bone mass, geometry, and strength, and 3) changes in gene expression for modulators of nitric oxide activity (e.g., nitric oxide synthase) and other candidate genes involved in signal transduction of mechanical loading after 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of HLS in the adult rat. Using a rat of at least 5 months of age avoids inadvertently studying effects of simulated microgravity on growing, rather than adult, bone. Utilizing the results of these studies, we will then define how altered blood flow contributes to changes in bone with simulated microgravity by administering a vasodilatory agent (which increases blood flow to tissues) during hindlimb suspension. In all studies, responses in the unloaded hindlimb bones (tibial shaft, femoral neck) will be compared with those in the weightbearing humeral shaft and the non-weightbearing calvarium (skull) from the same animal. Bone volumetric mineral density and geometry will be quantified by peripheral quantitative CT; structural and material properties of the long bones will be determined by 3-point bending (tibia, humerus) or compression (femoral neck) testing to failure. A unique aspect of these studies will be defining the time course of changes in gene expression in bone cell populations with unloading, accomplished with Northern blots, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. These studies have high relevance for concurrent protocols being proposed by investigators on NSBRI Cardiovascular and Muscle teams, with blood flow data available on a number of tissues other than bone. Further, dobutamine and other Beta-agonists have been tested as countermeasures for altered muscle and cardiovascular function. Results of the intervention tested in our studies have potential relevance for a number of systemic changes seen with prolonged spaceflight.

Detecting macroevolutionary genotype–phenotype associations using error-corrected rates of protein convergence

On macroevolutionary timescales, extensive mutations and phylogenetic uncertainty mask the signals of genotype–phenotype associations underlying convergent evolution. To overcome this problem, we extended the widely used framework of non-synonymous to synonymous substitution rate ratios and developed the novel metric ω C , which measures the error-corrected convergence rate of protein evolution. While ω C distinguishes natural selection from genetic noise and phylogenetic errors in simulation and real examples, its accuracy allows an exploratory genome-wide search of adaptive molecular convergence without phenotypic hypothesis or candidate genes. Using gene expression data, we explored over 20 million branch combinations in vertebrate genes and identified the joint convergence of expression patterns and protein sequences with amino acid substitutions in functionally important sites, providing hypotheses on undiscovered phenotypes. We further extended our method with a heuristic algorithm to detect highly repetitive convergence among computationally non-trivial higher-order phylogenetic combinations. Our approach allows bidirectional searches for genotype–phenotype associations, even in lineages that diverged for hundreds of millions of years.

Processing Raman Spectra of High-Pressure Hydrogen Flames

The Raman Code automates the analysis of laser-Raman-spectroscopy data for diagnosis of combustion at high pressure. On the basis of the theory of molecular spectroscopy, the software calculates the rovibrational and pure rotational Raman spectra of H2, O2, N2, and H2O in hydrogen/air flames at given temperatures and pressures. Given a set of Raman spectral data from measurements on a given flame and results from the aforementioned calculations, the software calculates the thermodynamic temperature and number densities of the aforementioned species. The software accounts for collisional spectral-line-broadening effects at pressures up to 60 bar (6 MPa). The line-broadening effects increase with pressure and thereby complicate the analysis. The software also corrects for spectral interference ("cross-talk") among the various chemical species. In the absence of such correction, the cross-talk is a significant source of error in temperatures and number densities. This is the first known comprehensive computer code that, when used in conjunction with a spectral calibration database, can process Raman-scattering spectral data from high-pressure hydrogen/air flames to obtain temperatures accurate to within 10 K and chemical-species number densities accurate to within 2 percent.
