We describe the Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System (MOPS), a modern software package that produces automatic asteroid discoveries and identifications from catalogs of transient detections next-generation astronomical survey telescopes. MOPS achieves > 99.5% efficiency in producing orbits synthetic but realistic population asteroids whose measurements were simulated for Pan-STARRS4-class telescope. Additionally, using non-physical grid population, we demonstrate can detect populations...

Standard chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) targets proliferative cells and efficiently induces complete remission; however, many patients relapse die of their disease. Relapse is caused by stem (LSC), the with self-renewal capacity. Self-renewal proliferation are separate functions in normal hematopoietic (HSC) steady-state conditions. If these also LSCs, then antiproliferative therapies may fail to target self-renewal, allowing relapse. We investigated whether LSCs as they often...

Recent advancements in translational gut microbiome research have revealed its crucial role shaping predictive healthcare applications. Herein, we introduce the Gut Microbiome Wellness Index 2 (GMWI2), an enhanced version of our original GMWI prototype, designed as a standardized disease-agnostic health status indicator based on taxonomic profiles. Our analysis involves pooling existing 8069 stool shotgun metagenomes from 54 published studies across global demographic landscape (spanning 26...

Abstract We previously proposed the Gut Microbiome Wellness Index (GMWI), a predictor of disease presence based on gut microbiome taxonomic profile. As an application this index for food science research, we applied GMWI as quantitative tool measuring prebiotic effect oligosaccharides. Mainly, in vitro anaerobic batch fermentation system, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), xylooligosaccharides (XOS), inulin (IN), and 2’-fucosyllactose (2FL), were mixed separately...

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer. TP53 mutations (TP53Mut) confer the worst prognosis in AML. Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are rare AML endowed with self-renewal capacity, allowing them to recapitulate after therapy and cause disease progression. The pathways that mediate human TP53Mut not well-known. To define signaling activated LSCs, we used CyTOF profile primary samples. LSCs displayed significantly elevated levels of (phosphorylated) NF kappa B...

Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in microbial genomes encode bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs), which can play important roles microbe-microbe and host-microbe interactions. Given the biological significance of SMs current profound interest metabolic functions microbiomes, unbiased identification BGCs from high-throughput metagenomic data could offer novel insights into complex chemical ecology communities. Currently available tools for predicting shotgun metagenomes have several...

Abstract Summary We recently introduced the Gut Microbiome Wellness Index (GMWI), a stool metagenome-based indicator for assessing health by determining likelihood of disease given state one’s gut microbiome. The calculation our wellness index depends on relative abundances health-prevalent and health-scarce species. Encouragingly, GMWI has already been utilized in various studies focusing differences microbiome between cases controls. Herein, we introduce GMWI-webtool, user-friendly browser...

Abstract Accurately predicting genetic or other cellular vulnerabilities of unscreened, difficult to screen, cancer samples will allow vast advancements in precision oncology. We re-analyzed a recently published deep learning method for dependencies from their omics profiles. After implementing ridge regression baseline model with an alternative, simplified problem setup, we achieved that outperforms the original method. Our study demonstrates importance formulation machine applications and...
