Topological data analysis is a technique that can be used to study plant morphology. It involves using tools from topology and algebraic geometry to analyze shapes and structures. Persistent homology in particular allows researchers to quantify topological features like blobs, holes, and voids that remain consistent under deformations. These techniques have been applied to study plant branching architectures, leaf shapes and serrations, and can provide a way to universally measure plant morphology across scales.

This document provides an overview of persistent homology, a topology-based method for quantifying and comparing plant morphologies. It discusses past morphometric methods like landmark-based analysis and presents persistent homology as a new universal approach. Persistent homology constructs topological signatures called barcodes that allow robust comparison of shapes across scales. The document demonstrates applications of persistent homology to leaf shape analysis in tomatoes and root architecture QTL detection. It envisions using persistent homology to build a universal theory of plant morphology by quantifying diverse plant structures across scales and taxa.

This document describes a study that used multi-locus sequence data from next generation sequencing to estimate genetic distances among four Lilium cultivars. Twenty-six gene contigs from the four Lilium cultivars were analyzed using three different approaches - POFAD, RAxML, and Consensus Network. POFAD and Consensus Network suggested non-tree like relationships among the cultivars. RAxML, POFAD and Consensus Network all generated the same tree topology. The genes used were also found to be suitable for constructing a species tree for the genus Lilium.

This document discusses systems biology and some of its tools. It defines systems biology as the study of interactions between parts of biological systems to understand how they function. Biological networks involve interactions between pathways. Networks can be modeled as nodes and edges. Tools described for modeling and analyzing networks include Cytoscape for visualization, CellDesigner for drawing networks, and STRING for protein-protein interaction data. Databases of pathways, interactions and models are also listed.
Systems biology is the computational and mathematical modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research.
Systems biology aims to understand biological systems as a whole rather than individual parts. Early criticisms saw molecular biology as too reductionist. Systems modeling using mathematical approaches also emerged. Standards like SBML and community-building efforts were important to allow sharing and integration of computational models between different research groups and software tools. This helped a systems biology community flourish by providing interoperability between various modeling approaches and data types.
This document discusses phylogenetic studies and the construction of phylogenetic trees. It notes that fossil records are unreliable, so phylogenetic trees are primarily based on molecular sequencing data and morphological data. There are several assumptions made in phylogenetic analysis, including that sequences are homologous, phylogenetic divergence is bifurcating, and each position in a sequence evolved independently. The document outlines different types of phylogenetic trees, steps in phylogenetic analysis like choosing molecular markers and tree building methods, and criteria for assessing the reliability of phylogenetic trees.

Construction of phylogenetic tree from multiple gene trees using principal co...IAEME Publication
This document describes a method for constructing a phylogenetic tree from multiple gene trees using principal component analysis. Multiple gene trees are generated from different protein sequences from various organisms. Distance matrices are calculated for each gene tree and combined into a single data matrix. Principal component analysis is performed on the data matrix to extract the first principal component, which represents the consensus distance vector combining information from all gene trees. A phylogenetic tree is then generated from the consensus distance vector using UPGMA, providing a species tree that integrates information from multiple genes. The method is demonstrated on protein sequence data from primates and placental mammals.

Utility of transcriptome sequencing for phylogeneticEdizonJambormias2
This document discusses the utility of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) for phylogenetic inference and character evolution in systematics. It provides examples of recent studies that have used transcriptome data to generate nuclear marker sets and resolve phylogenetic relationships for diverse lineages, including plants, animals, and fungi. The review highlights how comparative transcriptomics has also provided insights into topics like polyploidy, horizontal gene transfer, and character evolution. While transcriptomics offers a rich source of nuclear markers for phylogenetics, it also faces challenges from tissue quality requirements and only sequencing expressed genes at a particular developmental stage.

Formal languages to map Genotype to Phenotype in Natural Genomesmadalladam
The document discusses using formal language theory to model genotype to phenotype (G2P) mappings. It proposes that G2P mappings are non-linear networks rather than linear pathways, and that formal languages could be used to formally represent these networks. Specifically, it suggests using concepts from computational linguistics like context-free grammars, attribute grammars, and semantic actions to parse genetic sequences and compute their phenotypic outcomes. As an example, it presents a context-free grammar for designing genetic constructs and computing their chemical dynamics using an attribute grammar. In summary, formal languages may provide a way to rigorously define the complex non-linear relationships between genotypes and resulting phenotypes.
Modeling evolution in the classroom: The case of Fukushima’s mutant butterfliesAmyLark
Science education in the United States is evolving. New standards and reform recommendations spanning grades K-16 focus on a limited set of key scientific concepts from each discipline that all students should know but emphasize integrating these with science practices so that students learn not only the “what” of science but also the “how” and “why”. In line with this approach, we present an exercise that models the integration of fundamental evolutionary concepts with science practices. Students use Avida-ED digital evolution software to test claims from a study on mutated butterflies in the vicinity of the compromised Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex subsequent to the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 (Hiyama et al., Scientific Reports 2 Article 570, 2012) to determine the effects of mutation rate on the genomes of individual organisms. This exercise is appropriate for use in both high school and undergraduate biology classrooms.
MIB200A at UCDavis Module: Microbial Phylogeny; Class 2Jonathan Eisen
This document discusses phylogenetic analysis and gene function prediction. It begins with an overview of constructing phylogenetic trees from gene sequences to understand evolutionary relationships and how gene functions have changed over time. The document then discusses key steps in the phylogenetic analysis process, including identifying homologous gene sequences, aligning sequences, inferring phylogenetic trees using different methods, and using the resulting tree to predict functions for uncharacterized genes. It emphasizes that incorporating evolutionary information from phylogenetic trees can improve predictions of gene function compared to non-evolutionary methods.
A Practical Ontology for the Large-Scale Modeling of Scholarly Artifacts and ...Marko Rodriguez
The large-scale analysis of scholarly artifact usage is constrained primarily by current practices in usage data archiving, privacy issues concerned with the dissemination of usage data, and the lack of a practical ontology for modeling the usage domain. As a remedy to the third constraint, this article presents a scholarly ontology that was engineered to represent those classes for which large-scale bibliographic and usage data exists, supports usage research, and whose instantiation is scalable to the order of 50 million articles along with their associated artifacts (e.g. authors and journals) and an accompanying 1 billion usage events. The real world instantiation of the presented abstract ontology is a semantic network model of the scholarly community which lends the scholarly process to statistical analysis and computational support. We present the ontology, discuss its instantiation, and provide some example inference rules for calculating various scholarly artifact metrics.

The document discusses creating an integrated knowledge base called Ondex to enable comparative gene function analysis in plants. It describes collecting functional annotations from databases like TAIR and Gramene and using ontologies like Gene Ontology and Plant Ontology to measure conservation and transferability of annotations between species like Arabidopsis and rice. The knowledge base is used to identify candidate genes for traits like biomass by analyzing orthologous genes, expression patterns, pathways and phenotypes between species.
Tijana Milenković is an assistant professor who develops algorithms for network alignment and mining of biological networks. Her lab has developed methods like GRAAL, H-GRAAL, and MAGNA for mapping similar nodes between networks to transfer knowledge across species. MAGNA directly optimizes edge conservation during alignment to improve accuracy. The lab has also applied network alignment to study aging networks and predict novel aging genes, and developed tools for dynamic network analysis and de-noising networks via link prediction.
This document discusses integrating global observation data using lexicographic and geospatial ontologies. It proposes 1) constructing an ontology registry to classify data from different sources and formats, 2) developing ontology services to allow access and translation between heterogeneous systems, and 3) creating lexicographic and geospatial ontologies to integrate data through associations between terms and by anchoring data in physical locations. The goal is to improve data sharing, reuse and analysis across scientific disciplines studying the earth system.

The document discusses various methods for measuring and quantifying shape, including traditional morphometrics like elliptical Fourier descriptors, landmarks, and pseudo-landmarks. It also introduces chain coding as a method to encode contour shape and persistent homology for analyzing branching topologies in plants. The document uses violins and their shapes as a case study example to demonstrate some of these shape quantification techniques.
New and old ways of looking at shape: morphometric analysis of leavesDanChitwood
This document discusses using morphometric analysis and persistent homology to analyze plant shape and morphology. It describes how leaf shape, vein patterns, and root architecture can vary between plant species, developmental stages, and in response to climate. Landmark-based analysis and elliptical Fourier descriptors are introduced as methods to quantify shape, and persistent homology is presented as a new tool that can universally measure plant morphology across scales and organs in a noise-robust way. Examples analyzing shape variation in grapevine leaves and the detection of quantitative trait loci for leaf shape, serrations, and root architecture in tomato are shown.

This seminar explores the links between biology and architecture. It begins with statistics used to quantify shapes and morphologies and application of these methods to a cultural product: violins. How evolutionary processes change the structure of human-made products is discussed. The seminar then looks into the shape and structure of leaves and their functional significance. Finally, the lecture looks at a series of examples in which biology has inspired design and vice versa, and the importance of modeling, self-organizing structures, and generative forms in both designing objects and understanding organisms and biology.
Developmental stability of grape leaf morphometrics: allometry, heteroblasty,...DanChitwood
This document summarizes a study on the developmental stability of leaf morphometrics in grape (Vitis) species. Researchers analyzed leaf shape across species, developmental stages, leaf numbers, and years. They found:
1. Principal component 1 captured variation due to leaf stage and number, reflecting allometry and heteroblasty.
2. Interannual variability was observed for some traits like lobing, but leaf development patterns were largely stable over time and across species.
3. Differential growth of leaf components like veins and blades showed isometric or allometric scaling relationships.
4. The study provides insights into leaf shape determinants and plasticity, with implications for using leaves to reconstruct paleoclimates
Plant architecture without multicellularity: an intracellular transcriptomic ...DanChitwood
This document summarizes a presentation on the giant single-celled alga Caulerpa taxifolia. It discusses how C. taxifolia exhibits intracellular patterns of gene expression that coincide with pseudo-organs, similar to the molecular patterning seen in land plant organs. This raises questions about potential molecular homology between algal pseudo-organs and plant organs. The presentation also examines outstanding questions about intracellular transport, nuclear equivalence, and the potential for a soma-germline divide in these giant coenocytes. Overall, it explores how complex morphologies can arise without multicellularity through intracellular gene regulation and signaling.
What leaves and violins say about the evolutionary forces that shape us and o...DanChitwood
The document discusses how to quantify and measure shape using chain code. Chain code represents the outline of a shape by assigning directional codes (0-7) to indicate turns along the outline from one point to the next. This allows complex shapes to be broken down into a series of numbers that can then be analyzed to study similarities and differences between shapes. The example used is measuring violin shapes from photos of over 9,000 instruments to analyze how their design has evolved over time.
Discriminating shapes: on violins & the latent morphology of grape leavesDanChitwood
Dan Chitwood gave a seminar at U.C. Davis on quantifying and measuring shape, using violins as an example. He discussed how to represent shape using chain codes that describe the boundary of a shape as a series of direction codes. This allows shapes to be compared mathematically and analyzed for similarities and differences.
This is a lecture for Bio4025, a graduate class at Washington University in St. Louis. Some slides are derived from Julin Maloof (University of California, Davis), some of which were altered.

Seminar given on 1/28/15 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Introduces morphometric concepts such as landmark-based analyses and Elliptical Fourier Descriptors using violin evolution as an example. Then, the genetic, ontogenetic, and heteroblastic context of wild Vitis spp. leaves is discussed, and how these factors distinctly comprise the shape of leaves. Evolution through heterochronic mechanisms is discussed.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ANAMOLOUS SECONDARY GROWTH IN DICOT ROOTS.pptxRASHMI M G
Abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
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.
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 improvementIshaGoswami9
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.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.

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.
