This paper proposes a pseudo full-channel signal integrity (SI) simulation method tailored for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interconnects. In this approach, real interconnect models are applied to selected portions of the channel, while the remaining sections are replaced with synchronized current loads that emulate the electrical behavior of actual signal transmission. This technique enables accurate modeling of the HBM interface under full-channel parallel data transfer conditions.

Mink () is a commercially farmed animal of global importance. However, disease outbreaks during farming not only cause significant economic losses but also substantially increase the risk of zoonotic infections. The identification and characterization of pathogenic bacteria remain a major bottleneck restricting the development of healthy and sustainable mink farming.

To complete the genome-to-phenome map, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) are performed to correlate genetically predicted gene expression with observed phenotypic measurements. However, the relatively small training population assayed with gene expression could limit the accuracy of TWAS. We propose genetic score omics regression (GSOR) correlating observed gene expression with genetically predicted phenotype, i.

Under the backdrop of increasingly frequent wetland alternation between dry and wet conditions driven by global climate change, the differential impact mechanisms of microplastics (MPs) on microbial communities under drought and flooding conditions remain insufficiently characterized. This study established a sediment microcosm experimental system for Poyang Lake wetland to systematically analyze the regulatory effects of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) microplastics on sediment bacterial community structure, functional genes, and ecological processes over 180 days under simulated drought and flooded conditions. The results demonstrated that microplastics significantly enhanced the richness (Chao1 index +95.

van der Waals heterostructures improve carrier efficiency via band engineering and interfacial design, surpassing traditional photocatalytic material limitations. However, their intrinsic electric fields are limited by work function differences, and carrier accumulation weakens field effects. Two-dimensional ferroelectric heterostructures leverage spontaneous polarization and dynamic tunability to optimize carrier transport and photocatalytic water-splitting kinetics.

Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying complex traits in pigs is crucial for enhancing genetic gain via artificial selection and utilizing pigs as models for human disease and biology. Here, we conducted comprehensive genome-wide association studies (GWAS) followed by a cross-breed meta-analysis for 232 complex traits and a within-breed meta-analysis for 12 traits, using 28.3 million imputed sequence variants in 70 328 animals across 14 pig breeds.

Traditional plastics are difficult to degrade in the environment after use and disposal, but they are prone to aging and forming microplastics (MPs), which are emerging environmental contaminants, posing a serious threat to global ecological security and human health. To mitigate the ecological impact caused by traditional plastic products, the use of biodegradable plastics is gaining widespread attention. However, the ecological risks of biodegradable materials to the soil remain unclear.

The chicken is a valuable model for understanding fundamental biology and vertebrate evolution and is a major global source of nutrient-dense and lean protein. Despite being the first non-mammalian amniote to have its genome sequenced, a systematic characterization of functional variation on the chicken genome remains lacking. Here, we integrated bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from 7,015 samples, single-cell RNA-seq data from 127,598 cells and 2,869 whole-genome sequences to present a pilot atlas of regulatory variants across 28 chicken tissues.

Genetic mutation and drift, coupled with natural and human-mediated selection and migration, have produced a wide variety of genotypes and phenotypes in farmed animals. We here introduce the Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) Project, which aims to elucidate the genetic determinants of gene expression across 16 terrestrial and aquatic domestic species under diverse biological and environmental contexts. For each species, we aim to collect multiomics data, particularly genomics and transcriptomics, from 50 tissues of 1,000 healthy adults and 200 additional animals representing a specific context.

Transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) is a powerful approach for investigating the molecular mechanisms linking genetic loci to complex phenotypes. However, the complexity of the TWAS analytical pipeline, including the construction of gene expression reference panels, gene expression prediction, and association analysis using data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs), poses challenges for genetic studies in many species. In this study, we provide the Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) TWAS-server, an interactive and user-friendly multispecies platform designed to streamline the translation of genetic findings across tissues and species.

Dinitroimidazole (DNIm) was recently identified as a powerful bioconjugation agent that could selectively modify thiol over amine on biomolecules at an ultrahigh speed in an aqueous buffer. However, its derivative containing a DNIm module and a terminal alkyne module failed to construct functional agents bearing a DNIm warhead the CuAAC reaction. To solve this problem, a heterobifunctional cross-linker was designed and synthesized by linking a DNIm module with an azide module an oxoaliphatic amido bond spacer arm.

Protein self-assembly into a crystal in vivo triggers acute or chronic organ injury that can lead to intractable diseases lacking specific treatment options. In this study, we report the discovery of ionic arginine-rich peptides to disrupt the pathogenic galectin-10 (gal-10) crystallization, where the aberrant deposition of gal-10 crystals in airways causes the activation of IL-1β-dependent inflammation and the stimulation of epithelial cells to produce TNF-α. Gal-10 crystals show susceptibility to pH changes and charged residue substitutions at the protein packing interfaces, manifesting the role of charge-charge attractions across protein-protein interaction interfaces in governing gal-10 crystallization.

Biomineralization of enzymes inside rigid metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is appealing due to its biocompatibility and simplicity. However, this strategy has hitherto been limited to microporous MOFs, leading to low apparent enzymatic activity. In this study, polysaccharide sodium alginate is introduced during the biomineralization of enzymes in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) to competitively coordinate with metal ions, which endows the encapsulated enzyme with a 7-fold higher activity than that in microporous ZIFs.

Article Synopsis
  • Wetlands play a crucial role in the global ecosystem by impacting microplastic (MP) retention and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), though the relationship between different types of MPs and ARG dynamics is not fully understood.
  • This study examined the distribution of ARGs linked to two main MP types—polyethylene and polypropylene—within China's Poyang Lake wetland using metagenomic analysis, revealing distinct bacterial communities and a variety of ARGs, particularly in polyethylene.
  • Findings suggest that MPs function as reservoirs for ARGs, promoting their exchange and raising concerns for ecological health and human safety, emphasizing the need for further research in this area.

For metal-free low-dimensional ferromagnetic materials, a hopeful candidate for next-generation spintronic devices, investigating their magnetic mechanisms and exploring effective ways to regulate their magnetic properties are crucial for advancing their applications. Our work systematically investigated the origin of magnetism of a graphitic carbon nitride (Pca21 CN) monolayer based on the analysis on the partial electronic density of states. The magnetic moment of the Pca21 CN originates from the spin-split of the 2 orbit from special carbon (C) atoms and 2 orbit from N atoms around the Fermi energy, which was caused by the lone pair electrons in nitrogen (N) atoms.
