Study on the changes in the microbiome before and after seed embryo after-ripening of Fritillaria cirrhosa by Wenshang Li, Wenshang Li, Can Zhao, Can Zhao, Qian Tao, Qian Tao, Weimin Zhang, Weimin Zhang, Hai Wang, Guiqi Han, Guiqi Han, Zhuyun Yan, Zhuyun Yan

“…IntroductionMicroorganisms play an important role in the embryonic development of plant seeds; however, there are no existing reports on the microbial communities associated with Fritillaria cirrhosa before and after embryo after-ripening.MethodsIn this study, the microbial communities of Fritillaria cirrhosa seeds before and after after-ripening were analyzed using the Illumina MiSeq platform, targeting the V4–V5 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and the ITS1 and ITS2 regions of fungal ribosomal RNA.ResultsThe results showed that bacterial communities were more susceptible to environmental stress and exhibited greater fluctuations compared to fungal communities, as reflected in higher diversity and significant changes in the relative abundance of dominant genera and species. …”

Low-Rank Representation and Data Compression of Full-Field Displacement Maps for Structural Modal Analysis and Damage Identification by Yankun Li, Yu Huang, Ziguang Li, Zhiping Yin, Shancheng Cao

“…For the purpose of resolving those issues, a complete method is proposed, consisting of (1) an adaptive kernel function construction method for low-rank-representing the full-field displacement maps while retaining both global and local shape features, (2) an enhanced frequency domain decomposition approach for noise-robust mode shape estimation based on the kernel functions, and (3) extracting and fusing local shape features of multiple mode shapes for more accurate damage localization. …”

Single-cell chromatin accessibility landscape profiling reveals the diversity of epigenetic regulation in the rat nervous system by Peiyao Ma, Shanshan Duan, Wen Ma, Qiuting Deng, Yeya Yu, Peng Gao, Yue Yuan, Chuanyu Liu

“…Single-cell sequencing can provide information on cell-type-specific chromatin structure and regulatory elements, revealing differences in chromatin organization between different cell types and their potential roles of these differences in brain function. Here, we generated a chromatin accessibility dataset through single-cell ATAC-seq of 174,593 high-quality nuclei from 16 adult rat brain regions. …”
