Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

2. Some definitions
Value chains are the linked groups of people and processes by which a
commodity is supplied to the final consumer.
Understanding the flow of materials (pigs & pork) through a value chain is
important in understanding how risk of disease spread may be produced
in the chain, while understanding the flow and distribution of incentives is
key to understanding how to manage those risks.
Value chain analysis is also critical to provide information on feasibility of a
selected control measure and their potential impact on the people
involved in the value chain
• E.g. traders might be different affected than producers
Particular attention needs to be paid to the behaviour and motivations of
people involved.

From focus on production by poor livestock keepers …
5. Working in 9 target value chains
under ILRI’s CRP 3.7. Livestock and Fish
Program time scope: 8-12 years
6. Pic value chain in Vietnam - some key facts
• Pork is an important component of the Vietnamese diet
• Dominance of smallholders in pig production, significant
contribution to household (HH) income (accounts for 14% of rural
HH income)
• Projections show that even with no growth from smallholders, large
farms will likely account for only 12% of the national pork market
share
• Enabling policy environment: willingness of policymakers and
development partners to engage in R4D initiatives targeting
smallholders1

Pork is a significant component of the Vietnamese
diet
Pork
8. Demand for pork
• Strong preference for fresh, un-chilled pork;
which provides natural protection from imports, imported
pork is frozen pork.
• Future increases in consumer incomes are expected to
lead to increased demand for pork and other meat
products
• Also notified increasing demand for local (breed) pork
(e.g. big urban centers have potential for niche product due
to prime price)

179,000 versus 95,000 VND/kg
(local versus “exotic” pork)
9. Pic value chain in Vietnam - some key facts
There is comparative advantage of small holder pig systems:
• Generate efficiency gains from low-cost locally-sourced
feeding options
• Strong demand for fresh (not frozen) pork that
smallholders can supply through preferred outlets by
consumers (local markets)
• Most of pork sold in wet markets which are rather informal
10. Preferred market outlets for fresh pork by
consumers
Traditional market outlets remain the most preferred
purchase outlets for fresh pork by Vietnamese consumers
11. Characteristics of informal markets
• Markets where many actors are not licensed (e.g. street foods,
backyard poultry, pastoralist systems);
• Markets where traditional processing, products, and retail practices
predominate (e.g. wet markets, traditional food processing);
• Affordable, accessible, addressing local demands …
• Markets which escape effective health and safety regulation (most
domestic food markets in developing countries).

12. Assessing food safety in informal markets
• Risk based approach
– Risk pathway
– Qualitative & quantitative
• Mixed methods
– Biological sampling
– Household/individual questionnaires
– Check lists
– Participatory appraisals including PE

21. PigRisk: Animal health – farm management and parasitic load
21
In general poor farm management:
Majority of farmers don’t use disinfection matrasses
Rare use protective clothing or boots by farmers
Visitors are usually able to access the pig area without restrictions
Risky practices when handling of sick and dead animals: e.g. selling or
emergency slaughter for consumption
Piglet management, often no heat source for new-borns
Limited access to water
Pig feed storage (e.g. signs of moisture, approx. 50%)
Endo-parasitic prevalence indicates a problem (poster in Lana room):
High load of endo parasites (various)

Risk assessment (RA):
•Salmonella risk pathways developed for producers, slaughterhouse and consumers
•Quantitative RA (risk for consumer) on-going
23. PigRISK: Food safety

Sampling for biological hazards (Salmonella spp.)(will be presented this afternoon)
•Overall 1,275 samples (farm, Slaughterhouse, market)
– Farm: drinking water 19.4% floor swabs: 36.1% (Salmonella spp.)
– Slaughterhouse e.g. water 20.0%
– Market e.g. meat for sell): 44.7%
Chemical hazards (will be presented this afternoon):
•Presence of banned substances (e.g. chloramphenicol and the growth promoter
salbutamol in pig feed and sold pork)
Streptococcus suis in slaughter pigs:
S. suis type 2 very low prevalence.
Potential risk behaviors such as the consumption
of “Tiet canh”– a raw pig blood dish was common
in slaughterhouse workers (43.1%)
24. Moving from assessment to interventions

26. “Best bet” selection
First list of interventions and potential entry points for interventions
identified from survey results and risk assessment
e. g. on-farm (e.g. water supply), biosecurity & parasite control
Slaughterhouse (e.g. use of table instead of floor slaughter)
Validation process:
Literature review on potential interventions (what worked & what not)
LIFSAP GAHP experiences (World Bank funded project aiming for improved
pig farms, slaughterhouses and markets), 29 criteria, some unpractical
- e.g. Separate from residential areas, keep only same age classes, quarantine
- Review & reduce to 5-10 most feasible based on producer feedback
Stakeholder and targeted actor consultation
Best bet selection – stepwise approach
27. “Best bet” selection
Validation process (cont): Use of a systems dynamic model
A major gap in VC analysis: understanding the impact of VC interventions
SD model is a tool to simulate and evaluate ex-ante between different
intervention options and how interventions could improve system
performance and stakeholder profitability.
• Salmonella at slaughterhouse: Introduce slaughter metal grits to
avoid slaughter on the ground
• Salmonella at farm: Introduce water treatment
• Morbidity on farm: regular vaccination, biosecurity , deworming
Best bet selection (cont)
28. Expected time for change (to implement an interventions)
Days – weeks – months
Expected reduction of hazard (e.g. Salmonella/diseases
prevalence) and uncertainty (validated from literature or expert opinion)
Indirect positive effects (e.g. weight gain) and uncertainty

Overall SCORING Final selection
Implementation & test
Randomised control trials
Best bet selection – further criteria
30. • A controlled trial is a study in which participants are assigned
to a study group.
• In a randomized controlled trial, participants are assigned to
treatment conditions at random (i.e., equal probability of
being assigned to any group).
• Procedures are controlled to ensure that all participants in all
study groups are treated the same except for the factor that
is unique to their group which is the intervention received.
Randomized control trials (RCT)
