Finding functional groups of genes using pairwise relational data : methods and applications
Creators: name: Brumm, Jochen

description: Genes, the fundamental building blocks of life, act together (often through their derived proteins) in modules such as protein complexes and molecular pathways to achieve a cellular function such as DNA repair and cellular transport. A current emphasis in genomics research is to identify gene modules from gene profiles, which are measurements (such as a mutant phenotype or an expression level), associated with the individual genes under conditions of interest; genes in modules often have similar gene profiles. Clustering groups of genes with similar profiles can hence deliver candidate gene modules. Pairwise similarity measures derived from these profiles are used as input to the popular hierarchical agglomerative clustering algorithms; however, these algorithms offer little guidance on how to choose candidate modules and how to improve a clustering as new data becomes available. As an alternative, there are methods based on thresholding the similarity values to obtain a graph; such a graph can be analyzed through (probabilistic) methods developed in the social sciences. However, thresholding the data discards valuable information and choosing the threshold is difficult. Extending binary relational analysis, we exploit ranked relational data as the basis for two distinct approaches for identifying modules from genomic data, both based on the theory of random graph processes. We propose probabilistic models for ranked relational data that allow candidate modules to be accompanied by objective confidence scores and that permit an elegant integration of external information on gene-gene relationships. We first followed theoretical work by Ling to objectively select exceptionally isolated groups as candidate gene modules. Secondly, inspired by stochastic block models used in the social sciences, we construct a novel model for ranked relational data, where all genes have hidden module parameters which govern the strength of all gene-gene relationships. Adapting a classical likelihood often used for the analysis of horse races, clustering is performed by estimating the module parameters using standard Bayesian methods. The method allows the incorporation of prior information on gene-gene relationships; the utility of using prior information in the form of protein-protein interaction data in clustering of yeast mutant phenotype profiles is demonstrated.

description: Geospatial data is everywhere, shaping everything from city planning to environmental efforts. Yet, unlocking its full potential is often hampered by technical hurdles. Many find themselves bogged down by the complexity of finding the right data, getting it in a workable format, and making sense of it all. This is where Generative AI and Machine Learning come in, offering fresh, accessible solutions.

We introduce innovative tooling designed to simplify data discovery:

Natural Language Geocoding - Using the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to interpret and convert descriptions of geographical regions into precise geometries (ie “The Iberian Peninsula south of Madrid” to exact coordinates)

Imagery Search with Natural Language - Using Vision Language Models (VLMs), we make it easy to instantly find images by simply describing them, like finding a “Large Solar Farm” or “Cotton Farmland” with just a few words. 

Collection Search with Natural Language - Integrating LLMs with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to streamline the identification of the most pertinent data collections for user inquiries.

These innovations promise a paradigm shift, transforming data interrogation into a conversational experience akin to chatting, but over petabytes of global, heterogeneous data, ultimately lowering the threshold for engaging with complex geospatial datasets significantly.

Role of mycorrhizal networks in dry Douglas-fir forests
Creators: name: Teste, François Philippe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) are fungal hyphae that connect the roots of at least two plants, potentially providing a conduit for interplant resource transfer. Interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) is an obligate ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree species that has high potential to form MNs with neighboring trees because of its receptivity to a diverse community of EM fungi. This MN potential is expected to be greatest among conspecific trees. In this thesis, I determined the influence of MNs formed by residual Douglas-fir trees on interplant carbon transfer and survival, growth, physiology, and EM status of neighboring naturally regenerated and planted Douglas-fir seedlings. To do this, I used MN-restricting treatments and isotope gas-labeling techniques on sites harvested with variable tree retention to investigate how varying: i) proximity to conspecific trees affects EM colonization and performance of planted seedlings; ii) ‘donor’ tree size affects seedling establishment and carbon or nitrogen transfer, and; iii) soil disturbance stress affects net carbon transfer between established seedlings. Because I used physical barriers (i.e., mesh bags) to control for the presence and characteristics of the MN, I also verified the effectiveness of different-sized mesh pores at reducing hyphal connections between plants in the greenhouse. In my experiments, I found that MN-mediated colonization was not the dominant mechanism responsible for EM colonization of planted seedlings; other sources of inoculm (e.g., spores, sclerotia, hyphal fragments) were more important. I found that mature trees not only competed for resources with seedlings but offered some facilitative effects at intermediate distances within their rooting zones. My key finding was that access to a MN with residual trees benefited seedling survival and that this corresponded with increased carbon and nitrogen transfer to seedlings. In addition, I found that there was consistently a net gain in carbon by one seedling in a MN and this net transfer increased with relative growth rate of the receiver seedling. These results indicate that MNs can facilitate interplant carbon transfer and be important in regeneration dynamics in dry Douglas-fir forests.

Identification of gene expression changes in human cancer using bioinformatic approaches
Creators: name: Griffith, Obi Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The human genome contains tens of thousands of gene loci which code for an even greater number of protein and RNA products. The highly complex temporal and spatial expression of these genes makes possible all the biological processes of life. Altered gene expression by mutation or deregulation is fundamental for the development of many human diseases. The ultimate aim of this thesis was to identify gene expression changes relevant to cancer. The advent of genome-wide expression profiling techniques, such as microarrays, has provided powerful new tools to identify such changes and researchers are now faced with an explosion of gene expression data. Processing, comparing and integrating these data present major challenges. I approached these challenges by developing and assessing novel methods for cross-platform analysis of expression data, scalable subspace clustering, and curation of experimental gene regulation data from the published literature. I found that combining results from different expression platforms increases reliability of coexpression predictions. However, I also observed that global correlation between platforms was generally low, and few gene pairs reached reasonable thresholds for high-confidence coexpression. Therefore, I developed a novel subspace clustering algorithm, able to identify coexpressed genes in experimental subsets of very large gene expression datasets. Biological assessment against several metrics indicates that this algorithm performs well. I also developed a novel meta-analysis method to identify consistently reported genes from differential expression studies when raw data are unavailable. This method was applied to thyroid cancer, producing a ranked list of significantly over-represented genes. Tissue microarray analysis of some of these candidates and others identified a number of promising biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic classification of thyroid cancer. Finally, I present ORegAnno (www.oreganno.org), a resource for the community-driven curation of experimentally verified regulatory sequences. This resource has proven a great success with ~30,000 sequences entered from over 900 publications by ~50 contributing users. These data, methods and resources contribute to our overall understanding of gene regulation, gene expression, and the changes that occur in cancer. Such an understanding should help identify new cancer mechanisms, potential treatment targets, and have significant diagnostic and prognostic implications.

description: Australeurodes Dubey gen. n.
Type species: Dialeurolonga operculobata Martin & Carver in Martin, 1999: 69. Holotype puparium. Australia: Queensland, Ipswich, 1.vii.1952, on Leptospermum saundersoni, in Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra [Not examined].
Diagnosis: Puparium pale, about 1.7 times longer than wide, margin crenulate; margin with a row of setae including anterior and posterior marginal setae, with truly marginal bases (similar to those of anterior and posterior marginal setae); caudal and thoracic tracheal openings at margin shallow indented and with rounded teeth. Dorsal surface smooth, without tubercles; submargin not demarcated from dorsal disc; median length of cephalothorax shorter than abdomen; longitudinal and transverse moulting sutures almost reaching margin; cephalothoracic and abdominal segments suture visible, most reaching outer subdorsal area; median length of abdominal segment VIII apparently reduced, but pockets located on boundary of segment VI/VII. Cephalic and first abdominal setae absent. Eighth abdominal setae present. Vasiform orifice triangular, operculum with 4 pronounced lobes, occupying anterior half to two-thirds of orifice; lingula lobulate and exposed. Thoracic tracheal furrows absent. Caudal furrow narrow, without tubercles. Ventrally tracheal fold stippled.
Etymology. The new genus is named after Australia from where the type species was collected and the suffix - aleurodes often used for coining new names in whiteflies.
Remarks: The new genus differs from Dialeurolonga by the presence of a row of marginal setae, shallowly indented tracheal combs, median length of abdominal segment VIII much reduced, intersegmental sutures reaching subdorsum, and by the absence of cephalic and first abdominal setae, punctured dorsum and median pore on abdominal segment VIII. It is also unique among whitefly genera in having lobulate operculum occupying only anterior half to two-thirds of the orifice. Australeurodes gen. n. is similar to Bemisia Quaintance & Baker and Parabemisia Takahashi but differs from these genera in the shape of operculum and lingula and by the absence of cephalic setae. In addition, it differs from Bemisia by the presence of marginal setae, and from Parabemisia by the indication of thoracic tracheal combs. This monobasic genus is based on the description of Dialeurolonga operculobata in Martin (1999).

description: In the past few years, several biased ligands acting at the mu-opioid receptor were reported in the literature. These agonists are aimed at reducing pain while having fewer side effects than morphine, the gold standard of opioid analgesics. In this mini-review, we describe and discuss the recent advances in mu-biased ligands actually in pre-clinical and clinical development stages, including the latest U.S. Food and Drug Administration review of oliceridine, a biased mu-agonist for moderate to severe acute pain treatment developed by the company Trevena.

Dialeurodes (Dialeurolonga) Dozier, 1928: 1001. Type species: Dialeurodes (Dialeurolonga) elongata Dozier, 1928: 1001 - 1002, by original designation and monotypy.
Dialeurolonga Dozier; Takahashi, 1951: 354. [as full genus].
Diagnosis (based on SEM study of type species): Puparium pale, elongate, dorsal surface convex; dorsum punctured without tubercles; submargin not separated from dorsal disc, submargin with a series of conical-shaped papillae, evident at least on anterior and posterior end of puparium; caudal and thoracic tracheal opening areas marked by distinct pore, sometimes with a median tooth; longitudinal moulting suture reaching margin and transverse moulting suture reaching submargin; submedian and subdorsal setae absent. Cephalic, first, eighth abdominal and caudal setae present; eye spots absent; abdominal segment VII not reduced medially. Abdominal segment VIII of elongata with a median pore. Vasiform orifice triangular (Fig. 34), longer than wide, posterior edge slightly elevated; operculum covering more than a half the length of orifice; lingula knobbed, exposed, not reaching beyond the posterior end of the orifice. Thoracic tracheal furrows absent but caudal furrow present, smooth. Ventrally, submargin demarcated by a ventral fold, caudal and thoracic tracheal folds marked by granular stipples.
The other species currently listed in this genus lack the large pore on tergite VIII. Moreover, they share the following characters, and require further study: vasiform orifice subcordate; submargin without a row of papillae or obsolete papillae; subdorsum with a series of setae; tracheal pore area deeply invaginated; median area of abdominal segment VII reduced; caudal furrow indicated with tubercles.
Remarks: Of the three Australian species previously listed in this genus only D. rusostigmoides remains included. This species is distinguished from Dialeurolonga species by the puparial shape, cuticle colour, indented tracheal pores with internal teeth, and a reduced seventh abdominal segment, with a pronounced mesometathoracic suture. The deeply indented tracheal pores and presence of tubercles in the caudal furrow indicate similarity to Indoaleyrodes, but further study is needed before placement in an appropriate genus.

Type species: Dialeurolonga swainei Martin, 1999: 70. Holotype puparium. Australia: Queenland, Broadbeach, viii-ix.1970, G. Swaine, on Ficus sp., in Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra [Not examined].
Diagnosis: Puparium jet black, pit-forming, broadly oval; sexually dimorphic; thoracic tracheal pores opening deeply invaginated. Dorsum not separated from dorsal disc, submedian and subdorsum variably pigmented. Longitudinal and transverse moulting sutures reaching margin; pro-mesothoracic division much exaggerated but not suture-like; median length of abdominal segment VII much reduced than VI; pockets reaching border of segments VI/VII. Anterior and posterior marginal setae present. Cephalic and eighth abdominal setae present. First abdominal setae absent. Eye spots present. Caudal and thoracic tracheal furrows absent. Vasiform orifice cordate; operculum elliptical, covering basal two-thirds of orifice. Ventrally tracheal folds stippled.
Etymology: The genus name is coined from a Latin word ‘ septem’ meaning ‘seven’, in reference to the reduced seventh abdominal segment, and a suffix – aleurodes.
Remarks: This new genus differs from Dialeurolonga in the puparial outline, and by the presence of deeply invaginated tracheal pore openings, eye spots, subcordate vasiform orifice, medially reduced abdominal segment VII, a pronounced meso-metathoracic suture, and by the absence of caudal furrow and first abdominal setae, punctured dorsum, and median pore on abdominal segment VIII. It also differs from Dialeurodes by the absence of caudal furrow, deeply invaginated tracheal pores, presence of eye spots and the much reduced median length of abdominal segment VII. Martin (1999) indicated similarity of S. swainei with D. rhamni Takahashi and D. trialeuroides Takahashi. However, both of these differ from the above generic diagnosis and are not assignable to Septemaleurodes.

Long term contracts and farm inflexibility premium in the production of cellulosic ethanol
Creators: name: Jalili, Rozita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Farmers will supply the raw ingredients for the emerging cellulosic ethanol industry. The long-term relationship between a farmer and a processing firm is expected to be contractual. A processing firm has an incentive to sign long-term contracts to ensure a cost-efficient level of raw ingredient supply. However, farmers generally prefer to operate with either no contract or a short-term contract in order to maintain options for adjustments in future acreage allocations due to changes in relative prices. Of interest in this research is to understand the incentives of farmers and calculating the efficient level of the “inflexibility premium”, which a processing firm must provide to a farmer when a long term contract is signed. A stochastic dynamic programming model is solved and with the help of Microsoft Excel numerically evaluated to illustrate the marginal inflexibility premium is increasing with contract length and the level of price variability, and is decreasing with the size of acreage adjustment costs.
