The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field paleoecological research. Although largely applied nowadays, knowledge gaps remain this there therefore still research be conducted ensure reliability signal. Building on most recent literature seven original case studies, we synthesize state-of-the-art analytical procedures for effective sampling, extraction, amplification, quantification and/or generation...
Abstract During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic changes, yet nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood 1–8 . Here we report a large-scale environmental DNA metagenomic study ancient plant mammal communities, analysing 535 permafrost lake sediment samples from across spanning past 50,000 years. Furthermore, present 1,541 contemporary genome assemblies that were generated as reference sequences. Our provides several...
Abstract Metagenomic data generated from environmental samples is increasingly common in the analysis of modern and ancient biological communities. To obtain taxonomic profiles this type data, DNA sequences are aligned against large genomic reference databases lowest ancestor (LCA) needs to be inferred for each sequence with multiple alignments. date, efforts have mainly focused on improving speed, sensitivity specificity alignment tools, little effort has been applied LCA algorithm that...
Abstract The East China Sea (ECS) is a marginal sea with high productivity, especially in summer. In the Zhejiang coastal region of ECS, large phytoplankton biomass summer attributed to nutrients pumped up by upwelling (ZCU), and oceanic supplied Kuroshio intrusion (KI) onto continental ECS. However, yearly variations these two processes are not consistent, which complicates nutrient supplies. this study, understand contributions ZCU KI supplies, concentrations, ECS as well their variations,...
The microbiota of invasive animal species may be pivotal to their adaptation and spread, yet the processes driving assembly potential sources host-microbiota remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized four Liriomyza leaf miner fly totaling 310 individuals across 43 geographical populations in China assessed whether wild was acquired from soil or host plant microbiota, using high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing. Bacterial communities differed significantly among but did not mirror...
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis offers valuable insights into the domestication and spread of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) across northern China Tibetan Plateau. This study leverages advanced genomic techniques to reconstruct evolutionary history adaptation this crucial crop.To overcome limitations ancient environmental (aeDNA) in paleoecology studies, we developed eProbe, a flexible toolkit for designing, assessing, validating hybridization capture probes. Benchmarking probe set generated...
The exchange of water through the Bohai Strait, located between Sea and Yellow Sea, plays a crucial role in controlling physical-biogeochemical conditions coastal seas off northern eastern China. We investigated characteristics strait using numerical model. Our results showed that residual current was featured with inflow part outflow southern strait, consistent previous studies. A two-layer structure, i.e. surface layer bottom layer, newly found strait. Through series experiments, we...
Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) extracted from sediment samples at the high-altitude Marbuco site (4400 meters above sea level) provides critical insights into human-environment interactions. With increasing climate impacts on human activities, offers valuable information early subsistence strategies, species utilization, pastoralism, trade practices, and responses to change. The sedaDNA analysis revealed genetic signatures various species, including those closely linked such as goat...
Abstract Connecting the Bohai Sea (BS) and Yellow (YS), Strait is vital in controlling physical‐biogeochemical conditions East Asian marginal seas. In August 2019, Typhoon Lekima moved northward inland into eastern China caused drastic water exchange through Strait. The specific variation underlying dynamics involved were investigated with observations high‐resolution numerical simulations. Volume transport featured an intense inflow followed by outflow, a fluctuation magnitude of 1.88 Sv,...
Cobalt(III)-catalyzed electrophilic amination of inert C(sp3)–H bonds weakly coordinating thioamides with readily accessible anthranil derivatives was accomplished under mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, thus providing various amino aldehydes and ketones. Moreover, our protocol the versatile [Cp*Co(MeCN)3][SbF6]2 features excellent atom-economy oxidant-free allows facile late-stage functionalization.
Abstract Characterized by a sharp thermocline and large cold‐water mass below, the Yellow Sea (YS) in summer is shelf sea that one of most vulnerable to typhoons world. With observations high‐resolution numerical simulations, we investigated three‐dimensional temperature changes underlying dynamics during passage Typhoon Bavi August 2020, which was representative northward‐moving eastern YS. Bavi's cyclonic strong winds caused intense turbulent mixing Ekman divergence. The vertical generated...
Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) aims to discover textual facts from a given sentence. In essence, the contained in plain text are unordered. However, popular OpenIE systems usually output sequentially way of predicting next fact conditioned on previous decoded ones, which enforce an unnecessary order and involve error accumulation between autoregressive steps. To break this bottleneck, we propose MacroIE, novel non-autoregressive framework for OpenIE. MacroIE firstly constructs graph...
Geckos are renowned for their exceptional climbing abilities, enabled by specialized feet with hairy toes that attach to surfaces using van der Waals forces. Inspired these capabilities, various gecko-like robots have been developed high-risk applications, such as search and rescue. While most research has focused on adhesion mechanisms, the gecko's tail also plays a critical role in maintaining balance stability. In this study, we systematically explore impact of dynamics performance...
