    Abstract Leukemias are genetically heterogeneous and diagnostics therefore includes various standard-of-care (SOC) techniques, including karyotyping, SNP-array and FISH. Optical genome mapping (OGM) may replace these as it detects different types of structural aberrations simultaneously and additionally detects much smaller aberrations (500 bp vs 5-10 Mb with karyotyping). However, its resolution may still be too low to define clinical relevance of aberrations when they are located between two OGM labels or when labels are not distinct enough. Here, we test the potential of Cas9-directed long-read sequencing (LRS) as an additional technique to resolve such potentially relevant new findings. From an internal Bionano implementation study we selected ten OGM calls that could not be validated with SOC methods. Per variant we designed crRNAs for Cas9 enrichment, prepared libraries and sequenced them on a MinION/GridION device. We could confirm all aberrations and, importantly, the actual breakpoints of the OGM calls were located between 0.2 and 5.5 kb of the OGM-estimated breakpoints, confirming the high reliability of OGM. Furthermore, we show examples of redefinition of aberrations between labels that enable judgment of clinical relevance. Our results suggest that Cas9-directed LRS can be a relevant and flexible secondary technique in diagnostic workflows including OGM.

    Abstract The extra-textual apparatus of a manuscript is an important aspect of the presentation and organization of the text itself. Marginal annotation is a vital part of this apparatus: written by both scribes and readers, in Latin and England’s two vernaculars (French and English). In laying out their manuscripts, book producers offer direction to subsequent readers as to the aspects of the text worthy of particular notice. Those readers, in contributing their own notes, both immortalized their reading of the text and adapted it for future readers by supplying apparatus they considered to be wanting. Marginal notes in the romance, therefore, illuminate the genre, defining the most important, most noteworthy aspects, and helping to define our expectations both of the normative in romances’ organizational apparatus, and of romance notes as a dependent genre. Romances were not typically annotated, but when they were, the annotators have sought their model in the somewhat richer tradition of Brut chronicle annotation. The apparent straightforwardness of romance notes, often summarizing or even quoting the text, is belied by the complexity of the choices made by annotators in deciding what aspects of the text require annotation. Annotators seem to have viewed note-making as an educated activity – notes are as likely to be in Latin as in the English or Anglo-Norman of the texts themselves – and they appealed to a standard form and constellation of interests in the notes’ content. Notes were not provided as navigational aids to organize the manuscript, but were designed as guides to the reading of smaller, more digestible sequences or episodes. Conspicuous in the margins are names, of people, places and objects. Marvels also form an important aspect of the notes, suggesting both the centrality of the marvelous in the romance genre, and its importance to the medieval representation of history.

    Abstract Manipulating molecular and supramolecular interactions within cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to introduce different levels of assemblies combined with multiple functionalities is required for the development of degradable smart materials from renewable resources. To attain hierarchical structures and stimuli-responsive properties, a new class of liquid crystalline cellulosic hybrid materials is synthesized. Herein, main-chain rigid-rod-like oxidized cellulose (CNC-COOH) is prepared from a Cellulose Whatman filter paper (Cellulose W.P.) by acid hydrolysis and oxidized using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO). Thermotropic LC molecule, 4-cyano-4'-hydroxybiphenyl with a 12-methylene spacer (CB12-OH) is grafted onto the carboxylic acid group of CNC-COOH

    Abstract Giant kelp and bull kelp forests are increasingly at risk from marine heatwave events, herbivore outbreaks, and the loss or alterations in the behavior of key herbivore predators. The dynamic floating canopy of these kelps is well-suited to study via satellite imagery, which provides high temporal and spatial resolution data of floating kelp canopy across the western United States and Mexico. However, the size and complexity of the satellite image dataset has made ecological analysis difficult for scientists and managers. To increase accessibility of this rich dataset, we created Kelpwatch, a web-based visualization and analysis tool. This tool allows researchers and managers to quantify kelp forest change in response to disturbances, assess historical trends, and allow for effective and actionable kelp forest management. Here, we demonstrate how Kelpwatch can be used to analyze long-term trends in kelp canopy across regions, quantify spatial variability in the response to and recovery from the 2014 to 2016 marine heatwave events, and provide a local analysis of kelp canopy status around the Monterey Peninsula, California. We found that 18.6% of regional sites displayed a significant trend in kelp canopy area over the past 38 years and that there was a latitudinal response to heatwave events for each kelp species. The recovery from heatwave events was more variable across space, with some local areas like Bahía Tortugas in Baja California Sur showing high recovery while kelp canopies around the Monterey Peninsula continued a slow decline and patchy recovery compared to the rest of the Central California region. Kelpwatch provides near real time spatial data and analysis support and makes complex earth observation data actionable for scientists and managers, which can help identify areas for research, monitoring, and management efforts.

    Abstract In this study, we compare next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches (targeted panel (tNGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), and whole genome sequencing (WGS)) for application in newborn screening (NBS). DNA was extracted from dried blood spots (DBS) from 50 patients with genetically confirmed inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) and 50 control samples. One hundred IMD-related genes were analyzed. Two data-filtering strategies were applied: one to detect only (likely) pathogenic ((L)P) variants, and one to detect (L)P variants in combination with variants of unknown significance (VUS). The variants were filtered and interpreted, defining true/false positives (TP/FP) and true/false negatives (TN/FN). The variant filtering strategies were assessed in a background cohort (BC) of 4833 individuals. Reliable results were obtained within 5 days. TP results (47 patient samples) for tNGS, WES, and WGS results were 33, 31, and 30, respectively, using the (L)P filtering, and 40, 40, and 38, respectively, when including VUS. FN results were 11, 13, and 14, respectively, excluding VUS, and 4, 4, and 6, when including VUS. The remaining FN were mainly samples with a homozygous VUS. All controls were TN. Three BC individuals showed a homozygous (L)P variant, all related to a variable, mild phenotype. The use of NGS-based workflows in NBS seems promising, although more knowledge of data handling, automated variant interpretation, and costs is needed before implementation.
