Radula stl files
No full textSpecimens were scanned using single propagation distance tomography at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France using the ID19 microtomography beamline. Every specimen used the following scan parameters: 2999 projections collected for a 360° rotation; 0.1 ms exposure time; 360 nm voxel size; 20 mm sample-to-detector distance; x-ray energy of 26.5 keV. Specimen preparation for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was the same as for synchrotron preparation except that radulae were mounted on stubs with double-sided conductive tape, and coated with Au-Pd for imaging with a Philips XL 30 scanning electron microscope at the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales.
Synchrotron *.tif stacks were reconstructed with Paganin phase retrieval, imported into Avizo Lite 9.4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and visually explored for mature rachidian teeth that showed no evidence of in vivo wear or post-mortem breaking during sample preparation. The scan volume was then cropped to these sections to facilitate easier data management. Segmentation of one tooth per species was performed semi-automatically: the “Magic Wand” tool was used initially to select the tooth volume based on greyscale intensity and then to manually remove any traces of the supporting radular membrane, mount, or mounting glue remained attached to the teeth. Once segmented, each tooth was exported as an *.stl and brought into Geomagic Wrap 2017 (3D Systems) for smoothing and cleaning of artefacts. In one specimen (Acanthais), damage to the tooth was only apparent after segmentation
Integrated dataset for red tide (Karenia brevis bloom) patterns on the west Florida shelf
No full textThis dataset contains integrated red tide (Karenia brevis harmful algal blooms) maps for the West Florida Shelf (24N – 31N, 87W – 81W) every month between 2003 and 2019. The integration is over in situ water sample analysis (which provides K. brevis cell concentration) and satellite data (which provides more frequent and spatial coverage than in situ data) using a practical approach. In situ cell counts data were obtained from a database maintained by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (https://myfwc.com/research/redtide/monitoring/database/), and satellite data were collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite, available through NASA’s OB.DAAC (https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov). They were integrated to generate monthly maps of K. brevis bloom spatial extent and frequency.
Specifically, the maps are expressed as bloom occurrence frequency (BOF) and bloom intensity (BI). The boundary of bloom locations represents the bloom footprint. Both maps are in imagery format (color coded in png files, MODIS_KB_bloom_WFS_images.zip) and binary format (floating point Geotiff files, MODIS_KB_bloom_WFS_binary.zip)

Muscle RNAseq Electroporation
No full textFour hours after plasmid electroporation, we evaluated acute gene expression changes in mouse skeletal muscle to identify regulated genes and genetic pathways. RNA sequencing followed by functional annotation was used to evaluate differentially expressed mRNAs
