Phase resolution of heterozygous sites in diploid genomes is important to phylogenomic analysis under the multispecies coalescent model
<p>Genome sequencing projects routinely generate haploid consensus sequences from diploid genomes, which are effectively chimeric sequences with the phase at heterozygous sites resolved at random. The impact of phasing errors on phylogenomic analyses under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model is largely unknown. Here we conduct a computer simulation to evaluate the performance of four phase-resolution strategies (the true phase resolution, the diploid analytical integration algorithm which averages over all phase resolutions, computational phase resolution using the program PHASE, and random resolution) on estimation of the species tree and evolutionary parameters in analysis of multi-locus genomic data under the MSC model. We found that species tree estimation is robust to phasing errors when species divergences were much older than average coalescent times but may be affected by phasing errors when the species tree is shallow. Estimation of parameters under the MSC model with and without introgression is affected by phasing errors. In particular, random phase resolution causes serious overestimation of population sizes for modern species and biased estimation of cross-species introgression probability. In general the impact of phasing errors is greater when the mutation rate is higher, the data include more samples per species, and the species tree is shallower with recent divergences. Use of phased sequences inferred by the PHASE program produced small biases in parameter estimates. We analyze two real datasets, one of East Asian brown frogs and another of Rocky Mountains chipmunks, to demonstrate that heterozygote phase-resolution strategies have similar impacts on practical data analyses. We suggest that genome sequencing projects should produce unphased diploid genotype sequences if fully phased data are too challenging to generate, and avoid haploid consensus sequences, which have heterozygous sites phased at random. In case the analytical integration algorithm is computationally unfeasible, computational phasing prior to population genomic analyses is an acceptable alternative. </p>
Corrected super-resolution microscopy enables nanoscale imaging of auto-fluorescent lung macrophages
<p>Observing the cell surface and underlying cytoskeleton at nanoscale resolution using super-resolution microscopy has enabled many insights into cell signalling and function. However, the nanoscale dynamics of tissue-specific immune cells have been relatively little studied. Tissue macrophages, for example, are highly auto-fluorescent, severely limiting the utility of light microscopy. Here, we report a correction technique to remove auto-fluorescent noise from Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) datasets. Simulations identified a moving median filter as an accurate and robust correction technique. Using this, we were able to visualise lung macrophages activated through Fc receptors by antibody-coated glass slides. Accurate, nanoscale quantification of macrophage morphology revealed that activation induced the formation of cellular protrusions tipped with MHC class I protein. These data are consistent with a role for lung macrophage protrusions in antigen presentation. We further show that the tetraspanin and extracellular vesicle (EV) marker CD81 appears in ring-shaped structures (mean diameter 93 ± 50 nm) at the surface of activated lung macrophages, likely marking the secretion of extracellular vesicles. Moreover, this correction method for super-resolution microscopy is widely applicable to other challenging biological samples.</p>
Monitoring recent changes in the Beaufort Sea coast using very high resolution remote sensing
<p>Arctic permafrost coasts are major carbon (Schuur et al., 2015) and mercury pools (Schuster et al., 2018). They represent about 34% of the Earth’s coastline, with long sections affected by high erosion rates (Fritz et al, 2017), increasingly threatening coastal communities. Year-round reduction in Arctic sea ice is forecasted and by the end of the 21st century, models indicate a decrease in sea ice area from 43 to 94% in September and from 8 to 34% in February (IPCC, 2014). An increase of the sea-ice free season leads to a longer exposure of coasts to wave action. Further, climate warming is also expected to modify the contribution of terrestrial erosion (Fritz et al., 2015, Ramage et al., 2018, Irrgang et al., 2018). Within the project EU Horizon2020 project NUNATARYUK, we are updating the mapping of the Arctic coast, with the Canadian Beaufort coast as a case-study. The surveying methodology includes: i. a high resolution update of the coastline mapping and change rates using Pleiades (CNES) satellite acquisitions from 2018, ii. a survey using RTK-UAV aerial imagery of long-term monitoring sites from the Canada-US border to King Point, and iii. the experimental use of TerraSAR-X staring spotlight scenes and PAZ at key sites to monitor intraseasonal dynamics of cliff edge retreat. This research is funded by the EC H2020 Project NUNATARYUK. Support on remote sensing imagery access by the WMO Polar Space Task Group.</p>

An automatically generated high-resolution earthquake catalogue for the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence, including P and S phase arrival times
<p>Catalog of 440,697 earthquakes of the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence semi-automatically generated by Spallarossa et al. (2020). The catalogue covers one year of aftershocks following the first mainshock of the sequence (from 08242016 to 08312017).</p> <p>The catalog has been generated using the Complete Automatic Seismic Processor (CASP) procedure (Scafidi et al., 2019) to detect the events and an advanced picker engine (RSNI-Picker<sub>2</sub>; Scafidi et al., 2018; Spallarossa et al., 2014) to determine their phase arrival times. The final set of about 7 million P- and 10 million S-wave arrival times have been used to locate the events using a non-linear location algorithm (NonLinLoc; Lomax et al. 2000), with a 1D velocity model calibrated for the area (De Luca et al., 2009) and station corrections. For each event, also local magnitudes (M<sub>L</sub>) has been calculated as well as a locations quality.</p> <p>Earthquake locations quality has been classified by means of the procedure proposed by Michele et al., (2019) consisting of the combination of diverse uncertainty parameters provided by the NonLinLoc location code. Locations quality is provided in terms of a unique numeric normalized value, named quality factor, varying between qf=0 (best quality location) and qf=1 (worst quality location). Then locations have been assigned to a quality class depending on the qf parameter value according to the following scheme: A-class (0 < qf ≤ 0.25), B-class (0.25 < qf ≤ 0.50), C-class (0.50 < qf ≤ 0.75), and D-class (0.75 < qf < 1.00). The earthquake locations are distributed between the quality classes as A-30.6%, B-31.4%, C-18.6%, and D-19.4% (details in Spallarossa et al., 2020).</p> <p>We accompanied the catalogue with the 30 events with M>3.5 missed by our procedure (bring the total number of events to 440,727), including the first Amatrice mainshock (M<sub>W</sub>6.0; see Spallarossa et al., 2020). These 30 missing events recognisable by the ID starting with ISI), have been taken from INGV bulletin (<a href="http://terremoti.ingv.it">http://terremoti.ingv.it</a>; ISIDe Working Group., 2007), manually generated.

In parallel to this renewed popularity, expanding access to computational tools and datasets has seen the use of aggregated radiocarbon datasets for the study of dispersals also increasing. This paper advocates for developing reflexive practice in the application of radiocarbon dates to prehistoric dispersals, by reflecting on the quality and qualities of the underlying data, particularly chronometric uncertainty, and framing dispersals explicitly in terms of hypothesis testing. This paper draws on cultural expansions within South America and employs two emblematic examples, the Arauquinoid and Tupiguarani traditions, to develop an analytical solution that not only incorporates chronometric uncertainty in bivariate regression but, importantly, tests whether the datasets provide statistically significant evidence for a dispersal process. The analysis, which the paper provides the means to replicate, identifies fundamental issues with resolution and data quality that impede identification of pre-Columbian cultural dispersals through simple spatial gradients of radiocarbon data. The results suggest that reflexivity must be fed back into theoretical frameworks of prehistoric mobility for the study of dispersals, in turn informing the construction of more critical statistical null models. As a first step, alternative models of cultural expansion should be formally considered alongside demographic models.Inferring episodes of expansion, admixture, diffusion, and/or migration in prehistory is at present undergoing a resurgence in macro-scale archaeological interpretation.

Data from: Multi-modal ultra-high resolution structural 7-Tesla MRI data repository
Structural brain data is key for the understanding of brain function and networks, i.e., connectomics. Here we present data sets available from the 'atlasing of the basal ganglia (ATAG)' project, which provides ultra-high resolution 7Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from young, middle-aged, and elderly participants. The ATAG data set includes whole-brain and reduced field-of-view MP2RAGE and T2*-weighted scans of the subcortex and brainstem with ultra-high resolution at a sub-millimeter scale. The data can be used to develop new algorithms that help building high-resolution atlases both relevant for the basic and clinical neurosciences. Importantly, the present data repository may also be used to inform the exact positioning of electrodes used for deep-brain-stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease and neuropsychiatric diseases.
Anatomy of the neural endocranium and stapes of Diadectes absitus (Diadectomorpha) from the early Permian of Germany based on the high‐resolution X‐ray microcomputed tomography
<p>A detailed anatomy of the braincase and stapes of the subadult specimen of <i>Diadectes absitus</i> from early Permian sediments of Germany based on the high-resolution X-ray microcomputed tomography are described for the first time. In contrast to previous studies of <i>Diadectes</i>, the bones of the braincase (opisthotic, prootic, supraoccipital, basioccipital, exoccipital, basisphenoid, sphenethmoid), and parasphenoid of <i>D. absitus</i> are not co-ossified, but suturally defined. This has allowed for a reconstruction of a complete braincase with all sutures between the individual bones. The opisthotic, prootic, and supraocciptal contain a well-preserved endosseous labyrinth. The 3D-reconstruction of its cavities shows a well-preserved vestibule, three semicircular canals, and well-developed cochlear recess. In addition, a shallow subarcuate fossa is present on the ventral surface of the supraoccipital, which lies medial to the anterior semicircular canal. A typical feature of the diadectid braincase is the presence of the otic tube leading from the fenestra vestibuli to the vestibule. A revision of the topology of this structure is presented here. Here we describe new structures of the stapes, especially in its proximal portion, as well as its position to the fenestra vestibuli. These structures are described for the first time not only in <i>D. absitus</i>, but for the genus.</p>
Data from: Impacts of inference method and dataset filtering on phylogenomic resolution in a rapid radiation of ground squirrels (Xerinae: Marmotini)
Phylogenomic datasets are illuminating many areas of the Tree of Life. However, the large size of these datasets alone may be insufficient to resolve problematic nodes in the most rapid evolutionary radiations, because inferences in zones of extraordinarily low phylogenetic signal can be sensitive to the model and method of inference, as well as the information content of loci employed. We used a dataset of >3,950 ultraconserved element (UCE) loci from a classic mammalian radiation, ground-dwelling squirrels of the tribe Marmotini (Sciuridae: Xerinae), to assess sensitivity of phylogenetic estimates to varying per-locus information content across 4 different inference methods (RAxML, ASTRAL, NJst, SVDquartets). Persistent discordance was found in topology and bootstrap support between concatenation- and coalescent-based inferences; among methods within the coalescent framework; and within all methods in response to different filtering scenarios. Contrary to some recent empirical UCE-based studies, filtering by information content did not promote complete among-method concordance. Nevertheless, filtering did improve concordance relative to randomly selected locus sets, largely via improved consistency of two-step summary methods (particularly NJst) under conditions of higher average per-locus variation (and thus increasing gene tree precision). The benefits of dataset filtering are notably variable among classes of inference methods and across different evolutionary scenarios, reiterating the complexities of resolving rapid radiations, even with robust taxon and character sampling.

Atmospheric resolution is increased from ~100–200 km to ~25–50 km, and ocean resolution is increased from ~1° (i.e., eddy-parametrized) to ~0.25° (i.e., eddy-present). For one model, ocean resolution is also increased to 1/12° (i.e., eddy-rich). Fully-coupled general circulation models and their atmosphere-only versions are compared with observations and reanalysis of near-surface temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, net cloud radiative effect, and zonal wind over the period 1980–2014. Both the ensemble mean and the individual models are analyzed. Increased resolution especially in the atmosphere helps reduce the surface warm bias over the tropical upwelling regions in the coupled models, with further improvements in the cloud cover and precipitation biases over the tropical Atlantic particularly. Related to this and to the improvement in the precipitation distribution over the western tropical Pacific, the double ITCZ bias also weakens with resolution. Overall, increased ocean resolution from 1° to 0.25° offers limited improvements or even bias degradation in some models, although an eddy-rich ocean resolution seems beneficial to reduce the North Atlantic cold bias and the Gulf Stream path. Despite the improvements, however, large biases in precipitation and cloud cover persist over the whole tropics as well as in the upper-troposphere zonal winds at mid-latitudes in both coupled and atmosphere-only models at higher resolutions. The SO warm bias also worsens or persists in some coupled models. And a new warm bias emerges in the Labrador Sea in all the high-resolution coupled models. The analysis of the PRIMAVERA models therefore suggests that, to reduce biases, i) increased atmosphere resolution up to ~25–50 km alone might not be sufficient and ii) an eddy-rich ocean resolution might be needed. The study thus adds to evidence that further improved model physics and tuning might be necessary in addition to increased resolution to mitigate biases.</p>
Montreal high-resolution climate data
<p>This proof-of-concept study couples machine learning and physical modelling paradigms to develop a computationally efficient simulator-emulator framework for generating super-resolution (< 250 m) urban climate information, that is required by many sectors. The temperature and dew point fields for 2019 and 2020 and the geophysical fields (geophys.rar) for the study domain, at 2.5 km (LR) and 250 m (HR) resolutions, which are used to train and validate the proposed super-resolution deep learning (DL) model/emulator are provided. </p>
