    Abstract High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has revolutionized science by enabling super-fast detection of genomic variants at base-pair resolution. Consequently, it poses the challenging problem of identification of technical artifacts, i.e. hidden non-random error patterns. Understanding the properties of sequencing artifacts holds the key in separating true variants from false positives. Here, we develop Mapinsights, a toolkit that performs quality control (QC) analysis of sequence alignment files, capable of detecting outliers based on sequencing artifacts of HTS data at a deeper resolution compared with existing methods. Mapinsights performs a cluster analysis based on novel and existing QC features derived from the sequence alignment for outlier detection. We applied Mapinsights on community standard open-source datasets and identified various quality issues including technical errors related to sequencing cycles, sequencing chemistry, sequencing libraries and across various orthogonal sequencing platforms. Mapinsights also enables identification of anomalies related to sequencing depth. A logistic regression-based model built on the features of Mapinsights shows high accuracy in detecting 'low-confidence' variant sites. Quantitative estimates and probabilistic arguments provided by Mapinsights can be utilized in identifying errors, bias and outlier samples, and also aid in improving the authenticity of variant calls.

    Abstract The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), greatly varies from patient to patient. In the present study, we explored and compared mutation profiles of SARS-CoV-2 isolated from mildly affected and severely affected COVID-19 patients in order to explore any relationship between mutation profile and disease severity. Genomic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 were downloaded from Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) database. With the help of Genome Detective Coronavirus Typing Tool, genomic sequences were aligned with the Wuhan seafood market pneumonia virus reference sequence and all the mutations were identified. Distribution of mutant variants was then compared between mildly and severely affected groups. Among the numerous mutations detected, 14,408C>T and 23,403A>G mutations resulting in RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) P323L and spike protein D614G mutations, respectively, were found predominantly in severely affected group (>82%) compared with mildly affected group (<46%, p < 0.001). The 241C>T mutation in the non-coding region of the genome was also found predominantly in severely affected group (p < 0.001). The 3,037C>T, a silent mutation, also appeared in relatively high frequency in severely affected group compared with mildly affected group, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.06). We concluded that spike protein D614G and RdRp P323L mutations in SARS-CoV-2 are associated with severity of COVID-19. Further studies will be required to explore whether these mutations have any impact on the severity of disease.

    Abstract We report an operationally simple route to δ-valerolactones through an organophosphorus-catalyzed borylative ring-opening/allylation of vinylcyclopropanes providing δ-hydroxy esters stereoselectively. The δ-hydroxy esters were lactonized to obtain densely substituted δ-valerolactones. The present methodology exhibited enhanced functional group tolerance compared to the existing metal-mediated methods. A plausible mechanism for borylative ring-opening reaction has been suggested.

    Abstract In the present article, optimization of process variables has been done to maximize the removal efficiency of toxic HCl gas in a submerged self-priming venturi scrubber. Response surface methodology with central composite design has been chosen to predict the effect of process variables on the removal efficiency. A quadratic equation was found from this study to predict the removal efficiency and from the ANOVA test, the significance of process variables was evaluated. Regression analysis confirmed the suitability of the developed model by the higher R

    Abstract Here, we report hitherto unobserved local field (LF)-assisted pump wavelength-dependent nonlinear optical (NLO) effects of three-photon (3PA)-induced four-photon absorption (4PA) at 532 nm and two-photon-induced 3PA at 730 nm in triangular-shaped core-shell Ag-Au nanoparticles (TrAg@Au) by femtosecond Z-scan. The shell thickness-dependent enhancement in the LF is observed by a COMSOL simulation. The intensity-dependent interplay between saturable and reverse-saturable absorptions along with switching of nonlinear (NL) phase is reported at 730 nm, showing the superiority of TrAg@Au in optical switching (OS). The optical limiting (OL) threshold (
