    Abstract Diatom responses to ocean acidification have been documented with variable and controversial results. We grew the coastal diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii under 410 (LC, pH 8.13) vs 1000 μatm (HC, pH 7.83) pCO₂ and at different levels of light (80, 140, 220 μmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹), and found that light level alters physiological responses to OA. CO₂ concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) were down-regulated in the HC-grown cells across all the light levels, as reflected by lowered activity of the periplasmic carbonic anhydrase and decreased photosynthetic affinity for CO₂ or dissolved inorganic carbon. The specific growth rate was, however, enhanced significantly by 9.2% only at the limiting low light level. These results indicate that rather than CO₂ “fertilization”, the energy saved from down-regulation of CCMs promoted the growth rate of the diatom when light availability is low, in parallel with enhanced respiration under OA to cope with the acidic stress by providing extra energy.

    Abstract The diurnal fluctuation of pH in costal seawater in sea-farming areas is larger than that the pH reduction induced by progressive seawater acidification by the end of this century. To best understand how seawater acidification influences the primary productivity of macroalgae in coastal waters under the pH fluctuation conditions, Gracilaria lemaneiformis, an important economical red macroalgae, was selected in our study. pH fluctuation (pH-F, high density cultivation) and pH stabilization (pH-S, low density cultivation) conditions were set to study the effects of seawater acidification on the production of G. lemaneiformis experiencing different pH fluctuation conditions. The results showed that seawater acidification significantly decreased the relative growth rate (RGR) of G. lemaneiformis grown at pH-S condition, but the enhancement of RGR was found in the pH-F-grown thalli. The similar trends were showed in the net photosynthetic rates of G. lemaneiformis. The different responses of RGR and net photosynthetic rates to seawater acidification between pH-S and pH-F conditions might be attributed to different daily pH variations. Under pH-S treatment, pH values varied <0.2units with all values <8.3, indicating a relative sufficient CO2 supply. Therefore, the effect of seawater acidification was more determined by the negative effect of elevated acidity rather than positive effect of the increased CO2 supply. While under pH-F level, pH values varied >0.6units and it could reach 9.09 in the LC-grown thalli, suggesting limited CO2 supply as CO2 level decreases about 14.1μmolkg−1 (from 15.8 to 0.7μmolkg−1) with the increase of pH (from 8.11 to 9.09). Increased CO2 at the seawater acidification condition could significantly relieve this carbon resource limitation, resulting in the enhancement of RGR of HC-grown plants.It can be predicted that the carbon resource limitation for high-density cultivation of G. lemaneiformis will be significantly relieved by coastal ocean acidification, resulting in the production increases in the future ocean, which can provide some reference values for the aquaculture of macroalgae.

    Abstract Background: Recent Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetics findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) span progressively larger and more diverse populations and outcomes. Currently, there is no up-to-date resource providing harmonized and searchable information on all AD genetic associations found by GWAS, nor linking the reported genetic variants and genes with functional and genomic annotations.
    Objective: Create an integrated/harmonized, and literature-derived collection of population-specific AD genetic associations.
    Methods: We developed the Alzheimer's Disease Variant Portal (ADVP), an extensive collection of associations curated from >200 GWAS publications from Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium and other consortia. Genetic associations were systematically extracted, harmonized, and annotated from both the genome-wide significant and suggestive loci reported in these publications. To ensure consistent representation of AD genetic findings, all the extracted genetic association information was harmonized across specifically designed publication, variant, and association categories.
    Results: ADVP V1.0 (February 2021) catalogs 6,990 associations related to disease-risk, expression quantitative traits, endophenotypes, or neuropathology. This extensive harmonization effort led to a catalog containing >900 loci, >1,800 variants, >80 cohorts, and 8 populations. Besides, ADVP provides investigators with a seamless integration of genomic and publicly available functional annotations across multiple databases per harmonized variant and gene records, thus facilitating further understanding and analyses of these genetics findings.
    Conclusion: ADVP is a valuable resource for investigators to quickly and systematically explore high-confidence AD genetic findings and provides insights into population-specific AD genetic architecture. ADVP is continually maintained and enhanced by NIAGADS and is freely accessible at https://advp.niagads.org.

    Abstract Both ocean acidification (OA) and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation can bring about changes in macroalgal physiological performance. However, macroalgal responses to UV radiation when acclimatized to OA under different time scales are rare. Here, we investigate the response of Ulva linza, a green tide alga, to UV radiation in the form of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) or PAB (PAR+UVA+UVB) radiation. Radiation exposures were assessed following long-term (from spore to adult stage, 1 month) and short-term (adult stage, 1 week) OA treatments. Results showed that increased CO

    Abstract The heterogeneity of the whole-exome sequencing (WES) data generation methods present a challenge to a joint analysis. Here we present a bioinformatics strategy for joint-calling 20,504 WES samples collected across nine studies and sequenced using ten capture kits in fourteen sequencing centers in the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project. The joint-genotype called variant-called format (VCF) file contains only positions within the union of capture kits. The VCF was then processed specifically to account for the batch effects arising from the use of different capture kits from different studies. We identified 8.2 million autosomal variants. 96.82% of the variants are high-quality, and are located in 28,579 Ensembl transcripts. 41% of the variants are intronic and 1.8% of the variants are with CADD > 30, indicating they are of high predicted pathogenicity. Here we show our new strategy can generate high-quality data from processing these diversely generated WES samples. The improved ability to combine data sequenced in different batches benefits the whole genomics research community.

    Abstract Background Niacin is a broad-spectrum lipid-modulating drug, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple loci associated with blood lipid levels and lipoprotein (a). It is unknown whether these loci modulate response to niacin. Methods and Results Using data from the AIM - HIGH (Atherothrombosis Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome with Low HDL /High Triglycerides and Impact on Global Health Outcomes) trial (n=2054 genotyped participants), we determined whether genetic variations at validated loci were associated with a differential change in plasma lipids and lipoprotein (a) 1 year after randomization to either statin+placebo or statin+niacin in a variant-treatment interaction model. Nominally significant interactions ( P<0.05) were found for genetic variants in MVK , LIPC , PABPC 4, AMPD 3 with change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; SPTLC 3 with change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TOM 1 with change in total cholesterol; PDXDC 1 and CYP 26A1 with change in triglycerides; and none for lipoprotein (a). We also investigated whether these loci were associated with cardiovascular events. The risk of coronary disease related death was higher in the minor allele carriers at the LIPC locus in the placebo group (odds ratio 2.08, 95% confidence interval 1.11-3.90, P=0.02) but not observed in the niacin group (odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.48-1.65, P=0.7); P-interaction =0.02. There was a greater risk for acute coronary syndrome (odds ratio 1.85, 95% confidence interval 1.16-2.77, P=0.02) and revascularization events (odds ratio 1.64, 95% confidence interval 1.2-2.22, P=0.002) in major allele carriers at the CYP 26A1 locus in the placebo group not seen in the niacin group. Conclusions Genetic variation at loci previously associated with steady-state lipid levels displays evidence for lipid response to niacin treatment.

    Abstract Atmospheric transport could be a significant pathway for inland microplastics (MPs, with size<5 mm) to the ocean in addition to catchment runoff and coastal discharge. However, atmospheric input of MPs to the ocean is rarely quantified. To address this issue, transport of atmospheric MPs from source to sink was studied in the Asia-Pacific region during nine cruises from October 2018 to September 2019. Both deposited atmospheric MPs (DAMPs) and suspended atmospheric MPs (SAMPs) were collected, ranging from 23.04 n/(m²·d) to 67.54 n/(m²·d), and 0 to 1.37 n/m³, respectively. Size composition revealed that atmospheric deposition of MPs originating in terrestrial regions seems inadequate and insufficient to quantify the atmospheric input to the ocean. In addition, combined with aerodynamic modelling, for the first time, we estimated that 7.64–33.76 t of fibrous atmospheric MPs was globally generated in 2018, which is 3 % and 31 % of riverine input MPs of The Yangtze River and The Pearl River in terms of mid-point mass, respectively. The increasing load of ingestible plastics from sea air could have a far-reaching impact on marine ecosystem.
