    Abstract: Mycobacteriophage IkeLoa is a lytic myovirus. It has a circularly permuted 155,280-bp genome containing 233 putative protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, one tmRNA gene, and 64.7% G+C content. The RNA genes are distributed in five clusters across the ... ...

    Abstract Mycobacteriophage IkeLoa is a lytic myovirus. It has a circularly permuted 155,280-bp genome containing 233 putative protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, one tmRNA gene, and 64.7% G+C content. The RNA genes are distributed in five clusters across the genome. Only 28% of IkeLoa's protein-coding genes can be assigned functions.

    Abstract The properties of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons that innervate the distal colon are poorly defined, hindering our understanding of their roles in normal physiology and gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Here, we report genetically defined subsets of colon-innervating DRG neurons with diverse morphologic and physiologic properties. Four colon-innervating DRG neuron populations are mechanosensitive and exhibit distinct force thresholds to colon distension. The highest threshold population, selectively labeled using Bmpr1b genetic tools, is necessary and sufficient for behavioral responses to high colon distension, which is partly mediated by the mechanosensory ion channel Piezo2. This Aδ-HTMR population mediates behavioral over-reactivity to colon distension caused by inflammation in a model of inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, like cutaneous DRG mechanoreceptor populations, colon-innervating mechanoreceptors exhibit distinct anatomical and physiological properties and tile force threshold space, and genetically defined colon-innervating HTMRs mediate pathophysiological responses to colon distension, revealing a target population for therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract We propose a novel algorithm to efficiently generate hidden structures to support arrangements of floating rigid objects. Our optimization finds a small set of rods and wires between objects and each other or a supporting surface (e.g., wall or ceiling) that hold all objects in force and torque equilibrium. Our objective function includes a sparsity inducing total volume term and a linear visibility term based on efficiently pre-computed Monte-Carlo integration, to encourage solutions that are as-hidden-as-possible. The resulting optimization is convex and the global optimum can be efficiently recovered via a linear program. Our representation allows for a user-controllable mixture of tension-, compression-, and shear-resistant rods or tension-only wires. We explore applications to theatre set design, museum exhibit curation, and other artistic endeavours.
