Stochastic tuning of gene expression enables cellular adaptation in the absence of pre-existing regulatory circuitry by Lydia Freddolino, Jamie Yang, Amir Momen-Roknabadi, Saeed Tavazoie

“…We provide experimental evidence for stochastic tuning in the adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to laboratory-engineered environments that are foreign to its native gene-regulatory network. Stochastic tuning operates locally at individual gene promoters, and its efficacy is modulated by perturbations to chromatin modification machinery.…”

A Rearing Method for Argynnis (Speyeria) diana (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) That Avoids Larval Diapause by Carrie N. Wells, Lindsey Edwards, Russell Hawkins, Lindsey Smith, David Tonkyn

“…An ANOVA revealed no evidence of host plant preference by A. diana toward three native violet species. We suggest that restoration of A. diana habitat which promotes a wide array of larval and adult host plants, is urgently needed to conserve this imperiled species into the future.…”

Luminescence properties of ZnSe single crystals co-doped with Fe and Cr by K. Lamonova, A. Prokhorov, M. Schmidbauer, A. Kwasniewski, Yu Kazarinov, M. Konuhova, A. Platonenko, Z. Remeš, K. Ridzoňová, M. Buryi

“…Structural characterization by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has revealed that the samples differ in terms of dopant concentration and intrinsic native defects. Analysis of the VIS and near-IR photoluminescence spectra, based on the modified crystal field theory and DFT calculations has shown that Fe and Cr exist in two charge states (+2/+3) and can be located in both tetrahedral and octahedral positions. …”

Efficient fault-tolerant implementations of non-Clifford gates with reconfigurable atom arrays by Yifei Wang, Yixu Wang, Yu-An Chen, Wenjun Zhang, Tao Zhang, Jiazhong Hu, Wenlan Chen, Yingfei Gu, Zi-Wen Liu

“…Specifically, we consider a series of different strategies, including magic state distillation, concatenated code array, and fault-tolerant logical multi-controlled-Z gates, leveraging key platform features such as nonlocal connectivity, parallel gate action, collective mobility, and native multi-controlled-Z gates. Our analysis provides valuable insights into the efficient experimental realization of logical gates, serving as a guide for the full-cycle demonstration of fault-tolerant quantum computation with reconfigurable atom arrays.…”

Direct Control of Stem Cell Behavior Using Biomaterials and Genetic Factors by Jeong-Kee Yoon, Mi-Lan Kang, Joo Hyun Park, Kyoung-Mi Lee, Young Min Shin, Jin Woo Lee, Hyun Ok Kim, Hak-Joon Sung

“…Therefore, there is an unmet need to control stem cell behavior for better clinical performance. Since native microenvironment factors including stem cell niche, genetic factors, and growth factors direct stem cell fate cooperatively, user-specified in vitro settings are required to understand the regulatory roles and effects of each factor, thereby applying the factors for improved cell therapy. …”
