    Controlling and reshaping biological reaction-diffusion

    No full text
    Pattern formation by reaction-diffusion mechanisms is of crucial importance for the development and sustenance of all living beings. However, biological model systems so far lack the tools and versatility of the established chemical models. In this thesis, we set out to develop and expand the Min system of Escherichia coli towards becoming a universal model for biological reaction-diffusion in an in vitro setting. To this end, we firstly developed a strategy to control the Min reaction in situ. This was facilitated by incorporating a chemically synthesized azobenzene-moiety into a peptide derived from MinE. This MinE-peptide is capable of stimulating hydrolysis of ATP by MinD. Photoswitching the azobenzene crosslinker allows to also switch alpha-helicity of the peptide and therefore its activity. By periodically activating this peptide photoswitch we found resonance phenomena in the Min reaction. The photoswitch described here could thus be used in many synthetic biology scenarios, but also to learn about Min and biological reaction-diffusion systems. Secondly, we discovered that the Min system can form stationary patterns, which greatly expands the pattern diversity and therefore the phenomena which the Min model can help us understand. Especially when it comes to important decisions in development, such as cell fate or macroscopically visible effects such as fur patterns, stationary patterns are much more prominent than oscillations and waves. The discovery of these patterns also creates many opportunities for applications, especially when combined with the newly found ability of Min proteins to position arbitrary membrane-bound factors. Thirdly, this thesis shows that the Min system's complexity can be reduced even more by substituting MinE with small peptides. A combined theory-experiment approach outlines how pattern forming capabilities are restored in a small MinE-derived peptide either by adding membrane binding or by dimerizing it. This study further highlights how peptides and proteins excel as model morphogens due to their modularity and mutability. Lastly, protocols and resources are more easily available due to a combined method-paper and video that was published in open access. In conclusion, by adding tools and versatility, this thesis introduces great progress towards establishing the in vitro Min system as the ideal model for biological reaction-diffusion

    Design and Evaluation of an SVM Framework for Scientific Data Applications

    Support vector machines (SVMs) are a popular classification method due totheir good accuracy and broad usage domains in scientific applications. Thecomputational complexity is between O(n2) and O(n3) for the number of n trainingsamples. The scalability for larger data sets is therefore a problem of SVMs. Withthe increasing number of large data problems, this disadvantage becomes moreand more significant. In order to overcome these scalability issues, this thesisdesigns and implements a parallel and scalable framework that realizes the cascadeSVM approach including specific improvements. A fundamental speed up andincreased scalability is gained by splitting up the data set into several sub setsthat can be worked on in parallel. The framework is designed to run in modernHigh Performance Computing (HPC) environments, that provide the necessarymassively parallel resources (e.g. large clusters with good node interconnects) tosolve large data problems. The framework however also works on a simple computerfor smaller problems if needed. To keep the interface usable for non-technical savvydomain scientists, Python is used.The standard cascade SVM approach is improved with a standardized file formatand parallel I/O is introduced that both improve the I/O performance, whichbesides computing is also often observed to be a bottleneck for large problems. Inorder to enable enhanced training speed up as well as a better accuracy furtherimprovements such as distance filters and cross-feedback options are realized andevaluated. The resulting improved cascade SVM approach and parallel and scalableframework design is then evaluated on a real world remote sensing data set andcompared to another parallel implementation called pi-SVM. The parallelizationstrategies of these two implementations are different whereby the cascade SVM is adata processing approach, pi-SVM follows primarily an algorithmic-driven approach
