Bateriophage
Viruses exist in two forms - living and non-living. They can infect virtually any organism and replicate only in certain cell types, known as their host range. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and parasitize only bacteria. They were discovered in 1915 and 1917 and are referred to as "phages". Phages exist widely in nature and can be isolated from sewage. They have diverse structures and genetics. Phages attack bacteria through either a lytic cycle where they kill the host, or a lysogenic cycle where they integrate into the host genome. During lysogeny, phage genes can be expressed and alter the host cell, sometimes changing it from harmless to pathogenic like certain cholera-causing

Virus
This document provides a summary of the history and key discoveries in virology. It discusses how viruses were first observed under electron microscopes in the early 20th century. Many important early discoveries included identifying that viruses caused diseases like polio, smallpox and yellow fever. Major advances included the development of the first vaccines and tissue culture techniques that allowed isolation and study of new viruses. Later work elucidated virus structure and genetics, showing they contain DNA or RNA and can mutate. This established viruses as distinct biological entities and laid the foundation for modern virology.
SARS2 CoVID-19
SARS2 CoVID-19 is so far the latest endemic that has hit the humanity. This presentation is a sincere approach to understand about this class of viruses and the methods that can be used to prevent their further upgradation or genetic modification.
History of virology
Virology is the study of viruses, which were not well understood until the late 1800s. Early discoveries included Lady Montagu observing inoculation against smallpox in Turkey in the 18th century and Edward Jenner developing the smallpox vaccine using cowpox virus in 1798. In the late 19th century, the development of bacterial filters allowed viruses to be isolated and shown to be smaller than bacteria, causing diseases even when bacteria were removed. By the early 20th century, it was established that viruses could cause diseases in plants, animals, and humans and were distinct from bacteria.

Ethnobotanical uses of wild flora and fungi on the circum-Sicilian island of ...
This is a presentation given at the 2015 meeting of the Society for Economic Botany.
Abstract:
In 1969, Galt and Galt conducted an ethnobotanical survey [1] in the community of Khamma on the circum-Sicilian volcanic island of Pantelleria, located 67 km from the Tunisian coast. Since then, a number of botanical studies concerning the local wild flora and cultivation of the zibebo grape and capers have been conducted, but none have investigated traditional ecological knowledge regarding the use of wild plants and fungi. Here, 45 years later, we revisit this topic, examining the current day knowledge and practices concerning wild plants and fungi on the island. A total of 42 in-depth interviews were conducted in June 2014 in six communities. All interviews were conducted in person in Italian with prior informed consent. We employed two primary means of eliciting responses concerning traditional practices; informants were asked to: 1) free-list the most commonly used plants for wild foods, general medicine, and skin remedies; and 2) view and discuss a booklet composed of photos of taxa listed in the Galt study.
A total of 86 botanical and 19 fungal taxa representing 54 families were cited by the study participants. While many plant-based traditions have disappeared from daily practice, especially those related to traditional fishing and hunting, they remain in the memories of the eldest subset of the population. For example, one of the most pervasive species in the landscape, Opuntia ficus-indica, has current day uses that persist (e.g., food source and shade source for cultivated vegetables), but its past applications were much more diverse, and included manipulation into hunting snares for birds. Other predominant flora included a number of Euphorbia spp., whose toxic latex was regularly used as a fish poison. Fungi, on the other hand, represent an important source of wild food today, and are widely recognized and regularly consumed. In conclusion, we have found that traditional e knowledge remains important to everyday practices of Pantescans, ranging in applications from wild foods, agricultural tools, and traditional medicines.

BiologyEcology-222-Genetics-topic1a.pptx
This document provides a history of genetics, describing major events from ancient times through the 20th century. It outlines old ideas that had to be overcome, like spontaneous generation and inheritance of acquired traits. Key discoveries include Mendel's work in 1866, rediscovery in 1900, Morgan's work linking genes to chromosomes in 1910, and Watson and Crick's DNA structure determination in 1953. The current understanding is that DNA sequences encode instructions to build organisms, with genes expressing as RNA and protein. Mutations occur randomly and natural selection favors those that increase fitness.
Evo genetic evidence_lt10
This document discusses genetic and molecular evidence for evolution. It explains that all living cells use DNA and RNA to carry information from one generation to the next and direct protein synthesis, and that the genetic code is nearly identical across organisms. It provides an example comparing the amino acid sequences of different species, finding fewer differences between more closely related species like mice and coelacanths than between mice and the more distantly related fugu fish. The document also discusses how Mendel's work on heredity from 1856-1863 was rediscovered in the early 1900s, after Darwin developed his theory of evolution, since the mechanics of heredity were unknown at that time.

Viroids and prions
Prions are infectious agents that are composed of misfolded protein aggregates called PrP, lacking nucleic acid. They can cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals by converting normal PrP proteins into additional misfolded prions. Common prion diseases include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, mad cow disease in cattle, and scrapie in sheep. Prions are highly resistant to sterilization by heat, chemicals, radiation, and are difficult to inactivate.

Introduction & branches of zoology
Zoology is the branch of biology that studies animals. It is divided into many sub-disciplines that study specific types of animals or focus on particular structures, stages of development, behaviors, and other biological phenomena. Some key branches of zoology mentioned include morphology, anatomy, physiology, cytology, histology, genetics, ecology, and taxonomy. Zoology has contributed greatly to the medical field through increased understanding of human anatomy, development, diseases, and treatments. Many famous scientists throughout history made important discoveries in zoology, including Aristotle, Carolus Linnaeus, Charles Darwin, Louis Pasteur, and Alexander Fleming.
Analysis of microbial diversity in soil under ginger 0rci
The document analyzes the microbial diversity in soil under ginger cultivation with low disease incidence (healthy) and high disease incidence (unhealthy). DNA was extracted from soil samples of both groups and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced. Analysis found bacterial and fungal OTUs were significantly more abundant in healthy soil, which had Rhodanobacter and Kaistobacter as dominant bacteria, and Cladosporium, Cryptococcus, and Tetracladium as dominant fungi. The unhealthy soil was dominated by Rhodoplanes and Bradyrhizobium bacteria and Lecanicillium, Pochonia, and Rhodotorula fungi. The microbial diversity was found to provide insight into ginger microbe interactions and potential biocontrol agents.
Go users meeting, unknowns
This document discusses the state of characterization of the eukaryotic proteome. It notes that as of 2019, around 20% of proteins in fission yeast and humans are still classified as having unknown biological processes. While the number of known or inferred protein roles has increased since 1992, progress in characterizing unknowns has been slow. Many recently characterized proteins in fission yeast are involved in non-core functions like environmental response, aging, and damage accumulation. The document calls for more research on these unknown and less studied proteins that are "hidden in plain sight" within the eukaryotic proteome.
Curate locally, think globally
Curators are necessarily detail oriented -- a trait born of, and reinforced by, our efforts to describe biological data accurately and precisely. To ensure comprehensive coverage and meaningful integration of new and existing knowledge, however, it is important to periodically step back from this fine-grained view and assess emergent features in accumulated curation. I will explore how PomBase has used the global "big picture" view of curated data to provide biological summaries, modularise content, and improve data display and access for our users. The global perspective can also be used to detect annotation errors and identify knowledge gaps, thereby improving overall annotation quality. I will also describe the progress we have made in engaging fission yeast researchers in community curation. Finally, I will show that the global curation perspective and community engagement share a common theme: both improve overall understanding, accessibility and reuse of accumulated knowledge by our user community.

GO slimming tips
This document discusses the use and development of Gene Ontology (GO) slims. GO slims provide a summary of an organism's biology using a reduced set of GO terms with less redundancy. The document outlines best practices for creating useful GO slims, including: 1) balancing coverage of annotated genes with biological relevance of terms; 2) minimizing overlaps between terms; and 3) splitting or lumping related terms as needed to improve biological interpretation. An iterative process is proposed to continually evaluate and improve existing GO slims.
Copy of biocuration 2017
This document discusses using co-annotation analysis and biological knowledge as a quality control procedure for gene ontology (GO) annotations. It describes a multi-step iterative process where GO term intersections are identified and used to generate rules of expected relationships. Violations of these rules are reported to contributing databases and used to identify annotation errors. The process led to over 100 rules being created and 83 rule violations found by analyzing 568 gene annotations across several species. Future work involves implementing the rules directly into the GO pipeline and expanding the approach to additional biological processes and functions.
New PomBase website features
The document discusses upcoming new features and pages for the Pombase website including publication details, genotype descriptions, phenotype annotations, and building curated networks that connect genes and gene products through their biological activities and processes to represent pathways in a visual format. It also outlines current limitations and plans to further develop network displays and features to better represent curated gene interaction and regulation data.
Community curation at PomBase
PomBase developed an online curation tool called Canto to enable community curation of Schizosaccharomyces pombe publications. Over 1,100 papers have been assigned to curators using Canto, generating over 7,700 annotations. While initial participation was 36%, reminders increased response. Curation quality is high, around 95-100% for term specificity and accuracy. The community is motivated by increased visibility and data dissemination. Lessons show that recent papers and post-curation dialogue improve quality, and reminders are often needed to solicit participation.

PomBase uses a combination of annotation conventions and QC mechanisms. In addition to identifying annotation inconsistencies and errors, these combined methods improve information content, annotation coverage, depth or specificity and redundancy.
Hidden in plain sight
This document discusses classifying and characterizing proteins of unknown function in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It begins by showing the progress that has been made in characterizing known proteins, but that the number of unknown proteins is decreasing only gradually. It then discusses classifying proteins as unknown if their broad cellular role is not known. The rest of the document proposes different methods for predicting the potential functions of unknown proteins, such as identifying informative features, clustering unknown proteins based on similar features, and predicting potential functions by finding the best matching known proteins. It emphasizes the need for high-quality curation and experimental data to make accurate predictions.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
