The introduction of new measurement technology is always tied with computational design and optimization work as well as with the need to develop efficient data analysis and interpretation tools. I will describe data analysis and design methods and results with an emphasis on jointly analyzing data from several molecular measurement sources, such as serum glycomics and tumor transcriptomics. I will also describe the use of synthetic oligonucleotides to address new measurement and optimization questions. -

HOW SLOW CORTICAL NEURONS MANAGE TO MAKE FAST DECISIONS

Because layer 4 is the key entrance point into the cortical circuit, we assume that SpSt neurons respond rapidly to sensory input. However, these cells are very small, and there are strong theoretical reasons to suspect that their compact morphology could impair their capacity to encode high input frequencies and thus hamper the temporal fidelity of cortical processing. We use whole-cell patch clamp to measure the temporal properties of asynchronous noise in SpSt cells as compared with the much larger layer 5 pyramidal (Pyr) cells, and characterize the capabilities of both cell types to encode high frequencies in a synaptically active-like environment. We find that individual SpSt cells indeed have a much narrower dynamic range than Pyr cells when probed with inputs on a background of identical noise characteristics. However, the synaptic dynamics in SpSt cells, as evidenced by the correlation time of asynchronous noise, is slower than in Pyr neurons, and the slower correlation time of the SpSt cells is associated with significant broadening of their dynamic range. We further show that this compensatory improvement in encoding bandwidth of sensory input depends on activation of potassium conductances, as it decreases when potassium channels are pharmacologically blocked. -

Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvaniaמארגן הפקולטה לכימיהצרו קשר תקציר Show full text abstract about Alkene ozonolysis is a primary oxidation pathway for alkenes...» Alkene ozonolysis is a primary oxidation pathway for alkenes emitted into the troposphere and also an important source of atmospheric hydroxyl radicals. Alkene ozonolysis takes place on a reaction path with multiple minima and barriers along the way to OH products. In particular, a key reaction intermediate, known as the Criegee intermediate, R1R2COO, had eluded detection until very recently. In this laboratory, the simplest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, and methyl-substituted Criegee intermediates, CH3CHOO and (CH3)2COO, have now been generated by an alternative synthetic route, detected by VUV photoionization, and characterized on a strong * transition. Most recently, our studies have focused on vibrational activation of methyl-substituted Criegee intermediates in the vicinity of the barrier for 1,4 hydrogen transfer that leads to OH products. The experiments reveal infrared transitions in the CH stretch overtone region that initiate unimolecular decay as well as the rate of the appearance of OH products through direct time-domain measurements. Comparison with high level theory shows that tunneling through the barrier makes a significant contribution to the decay rate. The dissociation dynamics are also examined through the translational and internal energy distributions of the OH products, which reflect critical configurations along the reaction pathway from the barrier for hydrogen transfer to OH products. Finally, the results will be extended to thermally averaged unimolecular decay of stabilized Criegee intermediates under atmospheric conditions. -

We examined a large data set of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) observations of Saharan dust from June to August 2007. Observing along a typical transatlantic dust track, we find that (1) median δ is uniformly distributed between 2 and 5 km altitudes as the lifted dust leaves the west coast of Africa, thereby indicating random mixing of particle shapes with height; (2) vertical homogeneity of median δ breaks down during the westward transport: between 2 and 5 km δ increases with altitude and this increase becomes more pronounced with westward progress; (3) δ tends to increase at higher altitude (>4 km) and decrease at lower altitude (<4 km) during the westward transport. All these features are captured qualitatively by a minimal model (two shapes only), suggesting that shape-induced differential settling and consequent sorting indeed contribute significantly to the observed temporal evolution and vertical stratification of dust properties. By implicating particle shape as a likely cause of gravitational sorting, these results affect the estimates of radiative transfer through Saharan dust layers. -

To obtain a global view of transcription start site (TSS) selection effect on translation we performed TSS mapping of the translatome under normal growth condition and following energy stress. Our findings uncovered several levels of coordination of transcription and translation. In this talk I will present the data analysis of these experiments along with in-depth inquiries of several intriguing examples.
