The genome architecture of the Collaborative Cross mouse genetic reference population.
No full textThe Collaborative Cross Consortium reports here on the development of a unique genetic resource population. The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a multiparental recombinant inbred panel derived from eight laboratory mouse inbred strains. Breeding of the CC lines was initiated at multiple international sites using mice from The Jackson Laboratory. Currently, this innovative project is breeding independent CC lines at the University of North Carolina (UNC), at Tel Aviv University (TAU), and at Geniad in Western Australia (GND). These institutions aim to make publicly available the completed CC lines and their genotypes and sequence information. We genotyped, and report here, results from 458 extant lines from UNC, TAU, and GND using a custom genotyping array with 7500 SNPs designed to be maximally informative in the CC and used a novel algorithm to infer inherited haplotypes directly from hybridization intensity patterns. We identified lines with breeding errors and cousin lines generated by splitting incipient lines into two or more cousin lines at early generations of inbreeding. We then characterized the genome architecture of 350 genetically independent CC lines. Results showed that founder haplotypes are inherited at the expected frequency, although we also consistently observed highly significant transmission ratio distortion at specific loci across all three populations. On chromosome 2, there is significant overrepresentation of WSB/EiJ alleles, and on chromosome X, there is a large deficit of CC lines with CAST/EiJ alleles. Linkage disequilibrium decays as expected and we saw no evidence of gametic disequilibrium in the CC population as a whole or in random subsets of the population. Gametic equilibrium in the CC population is in marked contrast to the gametic disequilibrium present in a large panel of classical inbred strains. Finally, we discuss access to the CC population and to the associated raw data describing the genetic structure of individual lines. Integration of rich phenotypic and genomic data over time and across a wide variety of fields will be vital to delivering on one of the key attributes of the CC, a common genetic reference platform for identifying causative variants and genetic networks determining traits in mammals
CICE-Consortium/CICE: CICE Version 6.1.3
No full textCICE6.1.3 is a minor update of CICE6.1.2 from June, 2020. It includes Icepack1.2.3. This and the Icepack tag fix a couple of minor bugs in the old aerosol scheme and the snow melt budget. The upwind advection scheme has been deprecrated and the shortwave redistribution has been refactored to allow redistribution in both the Bitz/Lipscomb and mushy schemes. Several other minor features were added and documentation was updated.
Major changes:
Bug fixes:
Update Icepack which includes a snow melt bug fix (CICE-Consortium/Icepack#328) and a fix to aerosols (CICE-Consortium/Icepack#330). These fixes will probably change answers but not science. #499 #511
Remove iblk from write statements; fix cpp NEMO_IN_CICE. This does not affect answers. #463
OMP bug fixes. This fixes some failing BGC tests with a PGI compiler, but does not change answers. #478
Enhancements:
Deprecate upwind advection option #508
Fix bug in bgc initialization when starting from ice state but no bgc #507
Generalize sw_redist implementation in Icepack (CICE-Consortium/Icepack#326), so it can be turned on with both ktherm=1 (Bitz/Lipscomb) and ktherm=2 (mushy-layer). By default, the sw_redist is now off. In the prior implementation, it was on with ktherm=1 and off with ktherm=2. This change is bit-for-bit with prior results if the namelist are set consistently. #497
Compute and add ability to send shortwave penetration by radiation category #495, #500
Update plots to use scientific notation #506
Add ability to define some cice options by default using .cice_set and add some warning messages when multiple cice_setup options conflict. Change results reporting and code coverage so it clones with --depth=1 only #494
Clean up and document C Preprocessor (CPP) flags #490, #496
Add restart_coszen namelist to write extra field to restart files #480
Addition of fswthru by components #479
Add Pstar and Cstar to namelist #475 #477
Verbose diagnostic output for model configuration #468 #488, #494
Allow for read of tlat, tlon, anglet with popgrid #463
Optionally rotate wind/stress from to computational grid (from true north). Set via new namelist, rotate_wind, with default set to true. This default is consistent with prior implementation. #473
Changes to the nuopc/dmi driver. Allow for coupling to both nemo and hycom in the nuopc/dmi driver #474.
Changes to the nuopc/cmeps driver #478, #480, #500
Update the Makefile to support compilation of CICE into a library, use of external ESMF, and DEPFILE #478
Add MACHINFO and ENVINFO to env files #466
Add lcov code coverage tool #467 #470
Documentation
Update version number #511
Update documentation of box2001 test #510
Update citation info #487
Update lcov and env documentation #476
Update documentation in genera
Co‐operative cross‐platform courseware development
No full textThe UKMCC (UK Mathematics Courseware Consortium) is a Consortium funded under TLTP (Training and Learning Technology Programme) to produce courseware for service mathematics teaching, using the SEFI (Société Européenne pour la Formation des Ingénieurs) syllabus. There are agreed courseware design guidelines and a simple courseware management system which allows cross‐referencing. Courseware is divided into modules, with an author as implementer for each. On any one hardware platform, a variety of authoring languages is possible. Across hardware platforms, the design guidelines ensure that conversion is possible, and will preserve look and feel. We argue here that these arrangements provide a basis for continued co‐operation between authors and future development as the technology changes
Global consortium on security transformation : final narrative report, 2008-2010
No full textThe GCST fills the gap between citizens’ perceptions and government policies by encouraging the inclusion of new voices within policy discussions and analysis, especially those of the poor and insecure; making sure existing initiatives become more visible for a wider community; and fostering new ways of thinking about security and justice and their relationship with development. Cross-regional working groups are the central working structures within the Global consortium on security transformation (GCST). Groups convene to share new knowledge, take advantage of practical experiences in the field, foster new agendas, and strengthen existing networks. The report provides details on programming and publications

Enrichment and characterization of a bacteria consortium capable of heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification at low temperature
No full textNitrogen removal in wastewater treatment plants is usually severely inhibited under cold temperature. The present study proposes bioaugmentation using psychrotolerant heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification consortium to enhance nitrogen removal at low temperature. A functional consortium has been successfully enriched by stepped increase in DO concentration. Using this consortium, the specific removal rates of ammonia and nitrate at 10 degrees C reached as high as 3.1 mg N/(g SS h) and 9.6 mg N/ (g SS h), respectively. PCR-DGGE and clone library analysis both indicated a significant reduction in bacterial diversity during enrichment. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly full-length 16S rRNA genes showed that Alphaproteobacteria. Deltaproteobacteria and particularly Bacteroidetes declined while Gammaproteobacteria (all clustered into Pseudomonas sp.) and Betaproteobacteria (mainly Rhodoferax ferrireducens) became dominant in the enriched consortium. It is likely that Pseudomonas spp. played a major role in nitrification and denitrification, while R. ferrireducens and its relatives utilized nitrate as both electron acceptor and nitrogen source.
