Full-length transcriptomes of 25 grassland plant species by Chongyi Jiang, Zixia Huang, Cynthia Meizoso, Gaby Kumpfmüller, Jochen B. W. Wolf, Holger Schielzeth

“…Despite their ecological and economic value, transcriptomic resources for wild grassland species to support eco-evolutionary and functional genomic studies remain limited. Here, we present full-length transcriptomes for shoot tissue from 25 wild grassland plant species collected from a long-term biodiversity experiment (the Jena Experiment). …”

Effect of lincRNA-EPS on osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells induced by RANKL and LPS: An experimental study by ZHANG Xu, WANG Yabing, SU Jiansheng

“…[Results:] RAW264.7 cell strain overexpressing lincRNA-EPS and its negative control strain were generated. Neither strain showed significant difference during osteoclastogenesis (P>0.05), either induced by RANKL or LPS; for osteoclastogenesis by LPS induction, TRAP staining showed that significantly more osteoclasts were generated from lincRNA-EPS OE strain (P<0.05), while phalloidin staining showed that larger F-actin rings were generated from lincRNA-EPS OE strain, and RT-qPCR also showed that the mRNA levels of 4 osteoclastogenesis-related genes (TRAP, CTSK, DC-STAMP and ATP6v0d2) after induction were significantly lower in lincRNA-EPS OE strain (P<0.05); however, those difference were not present (P>0.05) when osteoclastogenesis was induced by RANKL. …”

Adaptive Bayesian Nonparametric Regression via Stationary Smoothness Priors by Justin L. Tobias

“…A procedure for Bayesian nonparametric regression is described that automatically adjusts the degree of smoothing as the curvature of the underlying function changes. Relative to previous work adopting a similar approach that either employs a single global smoothing parameter or assumes that the smoothing process follows a random walk, the model considered here permits adaptive smoothing and imposes stationarity in the autoregressive smoothing process. …”

On the added value of sequential deep learning for the upscaling of evapotranspiration by B. Kraft, B. Kraft, B. Kraft, J. A. Nelson, S. Walther, F. Gans, U. Weber, G. Duveiller, M. Reichstein, W. Zhang, M. Rußwurm, D. Tuia, M. Körner, Z. Hamdi, M. Jung

“…XGBoost showed a smaller ensemble spread compared to neural networks, in particular when conditions were poorly represented in the training data, but it was more sensitive to the covariate setup. Plant functional types were useful at the site level for the improved representation of spatial patterns but had a significant leverage on upscaling results – i.e., having a disproportionate impact on the spatial patterns, especially for XGBoost, but less for the LSTM model.…”

An association rule-based approach for frequent item mining of multi-stage access data by Silong Wu
