Abstract Core samples from trees are a critical reservoir of ecological information, informing our understanding past climates, as well contemporary ecosystem responses to global change. Manual measurements annual growth rings in slow, labour‐intensive and subject human bias, hindering the generation big datasets. We present an alternative, neural network‐based implementation that automates detection measurement tree‐ring boundaries coniferous species. trained Mask R‐CNN extensively on over...
We present an implementable neural network-based automated detection and measurement of tree-ring boundaries from coniferous species. trained our Mask R-CNN extensively on over 8,000 manually annotated rings. assessed the performance model core processing pipeline real world data. The CNN performed well, recognizing 99% ring (precision) a recall value 95% when tested Additionally, we have implemented automatic measurements based minimum distance between With minimal editing for missed...
Abstract Large scale genomic resources can place genetic variation into an ecologically informed context. To advance our understanding of the population genetics fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , we present expanded release community-generated genomics resource Evolution over Space and Time (DEST 2.0; https://dest.bio/ ). This includes 530 high-quality pooled libraries from flies collected across six continents more than a decade (2009-2021), most at multiple time points per year; 211...
Abstract The advent of third generation sequencing technology has revolutionized parallelized DNA fragments varying lengths, such as PCR amplicons, which provides unprecedented new opportunities for large-scale and diverse barcoding projects that, example, aim to quantify the accelerating biodiversity crisis. However, broad-scale application these technologies research is often hindered by demand advanced bioinformatics skills carry out quantitative analyses. To facilitate multilocus...
Abstract Reduced representation library approaches are still a valuable tool for breeding and population ecological genomics, even with impressive increases in sequencing capacity recent years. Unfortunately, current only allow multiplexing up to 384 samples. To take advantage of increased capacity, we present Multi-GBS, massively multiplexable extension Genotyping-by-Sequencing that is also optimized large conifer genomes. In Norway Spruce, highly repetitive 20Gbp diploid genome high...
