    Abstract Pan-genomes, encompassing the entirety of genetic sequences found in a collection of genomes within a clade, are more useful than single reference genomes for studying species diversity. This is especially true for a species like Zea mays, which has a particularly diverse and complex genome. Presenting pan-genome data, analyses, and visualization is challenging, especially for a diverse species, but more so when pan-genomic data is linked to extensive gene model and gene data, including classical gene information, markers, insertions, expression and proteomic data, and protein structures as is the case at MaizeGDB. Here, we describe MaizeGDB's expansion to include the genic subset of the Zea pan-genome in a pan-gene data center featuring the maize genomes hosted at MaizeGDB, and the outgroup teosinte Zea genomes from the Pan-Andropoganeae project. The new data center offers a variety of browsing and visualization tools, including sequence alignment visualization, gene trees and other tools, to explore pan-genes in Zea that were calculated by the pipeline Pandagma. Combined, these data will help maize researchers study the complexity and diversity of Zea, and to use the comparative functions to validate pan-gene relationships for a selected gene model.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has impacted children's education, with schools required to implement infection control measures that have led to periods of absence and classroom closures. We developed an agent-based epidemiological model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a school classroom that allows us to quantify projected infection patterns within primary school classrooms, and related uncertainties. Our approach is based on a contact model constructed using random networks, informed by structured expert judgement. The effectiveness of mitigation strategies in suppressing infection outbreaks and limiting pupil absence are considered. COVID-19 infections in primary schools in England in autumn 2020 were re-examined and the model was then used to estimate infection levels in autumn 2021, as the Delta variant was emerging and it was thought likely that school transmission would play a major role in an incipient new wave of the epidemic. Our results were in good agreement with available data. These findings indicate that testing-based surveillance is more effective than bubble quarantine, both for reducing transmission and avoiding pupil absence, even accounting for insensitivity of self-administered tests. Bubble quarantine entails large numbers of absences, with only modest impact on classroom infections. However, maintaining reduced contact rates within the classroom can have a major benefit for managing COVID-19 in school settings.

    Abstract Protein structures play an important role in bioinformatics, such as in predicting gene function or validating gene model annotation. However, determining protein structure was, until now, costly and time-consuming, which resulted in a structural biology bottleneck. With the release of such programs AlphaFold and ESMFold, this bottleneck has been reduced by several orders of magnitude, permitting protein structural comparisons of entire genomes within reasonable timeframes. MaizeGDB has leveraged this technological breakthrough by offering several new tools to accelerate protein structural comparisons between maize and other plants as well as human and yeast outgroups. MaizeGDB also offers bulk downloads of these comparative protein structure data, along with predicted functional annotation information. In this way, MaizeGDB is poised to assist maize researchers in assessing functional homology, gene model annotation quality, and other information unavailable to maize scientists even a few years ago.

    Abstract Summary: Understanding the effects of genetic variants is crucial for accurately predicting traits and functional outcomes. Recent approaches have utilized artificial intelligence and protein language models to score all possible missense variant effects at the proteome level for a single genome, but a reliable tool is needed to explore these effects at the pan-genome level. To address this gap, we introduce a new tool called PanEffect. We implemented PanEffect at MaizeGDB to enable a comprehensive examination of the potential effects of coding variants across 50 maize genomes. The tool allows users to visualize over 550 million possible amino acid substitutions in the B73 maize reference genome and to observe the effects of the 2.3 million natural variations in the maize pan-genome. Each variant effect score, calculated from the Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM) protein language model, shows the log-likelihood ratio difference between B73 and all variants in the pan-genome. These scores are shown using heatmaps spanning benign outcomes to potential functional consequences. In addition, PanEffect displays secondary structures and functional domains along with the variant effects, offering additional functional and structural context. Using PanEffect, researchers now have a platform to explore protein variants and identify genetic targets for crop enhancement.
    Availability and implementation: The PanEffect code is freely available on GitHub (https://github.com/Maize-Genetics-and-Genomics-Database/PanEffect). A maize implementation of PanEffect and underlying datasets are available at MaizeGDB (https://www.maizegdb.org/effect/maize/).

    Abstract Leaf morphogenesis involves cell division, expansion, and differentiation in the developing leaf, which take place at different rates and at different positions along the medio-lateral and proximal-distal leaf axes. The gene expression changes that control cell fate along these axes remain elusive due to difficulties in precisely isolating tissues. Here, we combined rigorous early leaf characterization, laser capture microdissection, and transcriptomic sequencing to ask how gene expression patterns regulate early leaf morphogenesis in wild-type tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and the leaf morphogenesis mutant trifoliate. We observed transcriptional regulation of cell differentiation along the proximal-distal axis and identified molecular signatures delineating the classically defined marginal meristem/blastozone region during early leaf development. We describe the role of endoreduplication during leaf development, when and where leaf cells first achieve photosynthetic competency, and the regulation of auxin transport and signaling along the leaf axes. Knockout mutants of BLADE-ON-PETIOLE2 exhibited ectopic shoot apical meristem formation on leaves, highlighting the role of this gene in regulating margin tissue identity. We mapped gene expression signatures in specific leaf domains and evaluated the role of each domain in conferring indeterminacy and permitting blade outgrowth. Finally, we generated a global gene expression atlas of the early developing compound leaf.

    Abstract Thoracolumbar fractures are a common consequence of trauma, often a result of motor vehicle accidents or falls. Burst fractures are a morphology of thoracolumbar fracture in which compressive force causes retropulsion of the posterior elements of the vertebral body, potentially leading to neurological deficits. The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity (TLICS) score is a decision-making tool to help surgeons decide between nonoperative and operative management. For assigned scores of 4, management is at the discretion of the surgeon, and for scores ≥ 5, operative treatment is recommended. Burst fracture patients that are neurologically intact are given a score of 5 if there is a posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury and are recommended to undergo operative management. Here we present a neurologically intact patient with an L4 burst fracture with PLC injury that was managed conservatively and demonstrated successful clinical, functional, and radiographic recovery.

    Abstract Obstructive sialadenitis is the most common cause of non-malignant salivary gland disorders, with salivary gland strictures being responsible for approximately 23% of all benign obstructive disease. Significant advances in minimally invasive techniques, including radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty, offer the potential for successful treatment with reduced complications. At present there is a paucity of follow-up data regarding patient outcomes and repeat interventions in those undergoing the procedure. Patients with parotid or submandibular gland sialadenitis secondary to gland stricture were identified and underwent radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, UK between 2015 and 2022. Patient outcomes, complications and reintervention rates were recorded prospectively over the seven-year period and analysed retrospectively. A total of 44 patients underwent radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty. Forty (89%) underwent sialoplasty for parotid gland disease, with a minority (n = 5) receiving an intervention for submandibular gland strictures. A total of 37 (84%) had their obstruction successfully treated (82% of parotid gland obstructions and 100% of submandibular gland obstructions). Five patients (11%) required a repeat intervention. Seventeen successfully treated patients (85%) who attended follow-up clinic appointments described complete resolution of their symptoms, with the remaining three (15%) describing a partial response. Radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty for the treatment of benign obstructive sialadenitis secondary to a gland stricture is a safe and effective method of eliminating the obstruction and relieving patients' symptoms. Most patients were symptom free at short-term follow up, with a minority requiring a second sialoplastic intervention.
