Somatic genome architecture and molecular evolution are decoupled in "young" linage-specific gene families in ciliates. by Xyrus X Maurer-Alcalá, Auden Cote-L'Heureux, Sergei L Kosakovsky Pond, Laura A Katz

“…Here we explore the origins of lineage-specific genes in ciliates, a ~1 billion year old clade of microeukaryotes that are defined by their division of somatic and germline functions into distinct nuclei. Previous analyses on conserved gene families have shown the effect of ciliates' unusual genome architecture on gene family evolution: extensive genome processing-the generation of thousands of gene-sized somatic chromosomes from canonical germline chromosomes-is associated with larger and more diverse gene families. …”

A Reconfigurable 1x2 Photonic Digital Switch Controlled by an Externally Induced Metasurface by Alessandro Fantoni, Paolo Di Giamberardino

“…MMI couplers, based on self-imaging multimode waveguides, are very compact integrated optical components that can perform many different splitting and recombining functions. The input–output model has been defined using a machine learning approach; a high number of images have been generated through simulations, based on the beam propagation algorithm, obtaining a large dataset for an MMI structure under different activation maps of the MOS pixels. …”

Comparative genomics search for losses of long-established genes on the human lineage. by Jingchun Zhu, J Zachary Sanborn, Mark Diekhans, Craig B Lowe, Tom H Pringle, David Haussler

“…Unlike most previous genomic methods for pseudogene identification, this analysis is able to differentiate losses of well-established genes from pseudogenes formed shortly after segmental duplication or generated via retrotransposition. Therefore, it enables us to find genes that were inactivated long after their birth, which were likely to have evolved nonredundant biological functions before being inactivated. …”

Ensuring Cybersecurity in the Context of Digital Economy Development by I. A. Sheremet

“…Cybersustainability implies the ability of a system to perform its functions under successful attacks on its resources (probably less effectively within in a short period of time necessary to neutralize cyberthreats and their impacts).Turning to the issue of ensuring cybersustainability of the emerging digital economy of the Russian Federation, the author examines the main types of system-destructing cyberattacks and highlights the steps taken by the Russian government to tackle these threats. …”
