When using a laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) system, quasi-static aberrations are observed between the measured wavefronts from the LGS wavefront sensor (WFS) and the natural guide star (NGS) WFS. These LGS aberrations, which can be as much as 1200 nm RMS on the Keck II LGS AO system, arise due to the finite height and structure of the sodium layer. The LGS aberrations vary significantly between nights due to the difference in sodium structure. In this paper, we successfully model these LGS aberrations for the Keck II LGS AO system. We use this model to characterize the LGS aberrations as a function of pupil angle, elevation, sodium structure, uplink tip/tilt error, detector field of view, the number of detector pixels, and seeing. We also employ the model to estimate the LGS aberrations for the Palomar LGS AO system, the planned Keck I and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) LGS AO systems. The LGS aberrations increase with increasing telescope diameter, but are reduced by central projection of the laser compared to side projection.

Diagnostic utility of DNA methylation analysis in genetically unsolved pediatric epilepsies and CHD2 episignature refinement.
Nat Commun
August 2024
Center for Pediatric Neurological Disease Research, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, 38105, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Sequence-based genetic testing finds causative variants in about 50% of cases of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), but DNA methylation changes in these cases have not been thoroughly explored.
- This study analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation in blood samples from 582 individuals with unresolved DEEs, identifying rare methylation patterns and potential genetic causes in 12 of these cases.
- The research highlights the effectiveness of DNA methylation analysis in diagnosing DEEs, showing a 2% diagnostic yield, and provides insights into the CHD2 gene's pathophysiology using advanced sequencing methods.
High-resolution genetic linkage map and height-related QTLs in an oil palm () family planted across multiple sites.

Article Synopsis
- A refined SNP array with 92,459 probes was created for chromosome scanning and genetic mapping in a Nigerian oil palm family, T128, leading to the identification of 76,447 quality SNPs.
- Out of these, 25,364 polymorphic SNPs enabled linkage analysis, resulting in mapping 21,413 SNPs across 16 linkage groups, providing a genetic map 16 times denser than previous ones.
- QTLs linked to traits like height and rachis length were found in specific linkage groups, where 55 potential genes related to phytohormones and plant growth were identified, shedding light on their roles in dwarfism.

Pesticides are commonly used in modern agricultural systems to protect the plants from pests. Even though they potentially increase the crop yield, they have undesirable toxic effects on the consumers of plant products and nontarget host plants. However, there are limited studies to demonstrate the cytological changes induced by pesticides on plant cells.

This study aimed to explore aberrantly methylated-differentially expressed genes and related pathways in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).The mRNA expression data (GSE26566) and methylation profiling data (GSE44965) were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Datasets. Differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated genes were identified using GEO2R.

Objective: We aimed to describe epilepsy and EEG patterns related to vigilance states and age, in chromosome15-long-arm-duplication-syndrome (dup15q) children with epilepsy, in both duplication types: interstitial (intdup15) and isodicentric (idic15).
Methods: Clinical data and 70 EEGs of 12 patients (5 intdup15, 7 idic15), followed from 4.5 m.
