Re-sequencing expands our understanding of the phenotypic impact of variants at GWAS loci. by Susan K Service, Tanya M Teslovich, Christian Fuchsberger, Vasily Ramensky, Pranav Yajnik, Daniel C Koboldt, David E Larson, Qunyuan Zhang, Ling Lin, Ryan Welch, Li Ding, Michael D McLellan, Michele O'Laughlin, Catrina Fronick, Lucinda L Fulton, Vincent Magrini, Amy Swift, Paul Elliott, Marjo-Riitta Jarvelin, Marika Kaakinen, Mark I McCarthy, Leena Peltonen, Anneli Pouta, Lori L Bonnycastle, Francis S Collins, Narisu Narisu, Heather M Stringham, Jaakko Tuomilehto, Samuli Ripatti, Robert S Fulton, Chiara Sabatti, Richard K Wilson, Michael Boehnke, Nelson B Freimer

“…Additionally, two potentially deleterious variants that demonstrated significant associations (rs138726309, a missense variant in G6PC2, and rs28933094, a missense variant in LIPC) were considerably more common in these Finnish samples than in European reference populations, supporting our prior hypothesis that deleterious variants could attain high frequencies in this isolated population, likely due to the effects of population bottlenecks. …”

Computational evaluation on spectroscopic (FT-IR, Raman), electronic and biological, and NLO properties of cirsilineol by DFT, ADMET, and molecular docking method by Tirth Raj Paneru, Poonam Tandon, Bhawani Datt Joshi

“…This study aims to investigate the spectroscopic, electronic, and biological properties of drugs and predict their suitability for drug-like candidates to inhibit prostate cancer. The computational evaluation was performed with density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6−311++G(d,p) level of theory and drug-like characteristics rendered from ADMET analysis. …”

Maize root lectins mediate the interaction with Herbaspirillum seropedicae via N-acetyl glucosamine residues of lipopolysaccharides. by Eduardo Balsanelli, Thalita Regina Tuleski, Valter Antonio de Baura, Marshall Geoffrey Yates, Leda Satie Chubatsu, Fabio de Oliveira Pedrosa, Emanuel Maltempi de Souza, Rose Adele Monteiro

“…Since N-acetyl glucosamine inhibits H. seropedicae attachment to maize roots, lectin-like proteins from maize roots (MRLs) were isolated and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis showed that MRL-1 and MRL-2 correspond to maize proteins with a jacalin-like lectin domain, while MRL-3 contains a B-chain lectin domain. …”

Panoptic Segmentation Method Based on Feature Fusion and Edge Guidance by Lanshi Yang, Shiguo Wang, Shuhua Teng

“…Panoptic segmentation, a pivotal research direction in computer vision, unifies pixel-level object and background recognition within a scene, crucial for applications like autonomous driving. However, existing methods, including State-of-the-Art models like Mask2Former, often exhibit limitations such as inadequate adaptation in multi-scale feature fusion and ambiguous boundary segmentation, particularly for small objects in complex scenes. …”
