The bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 suppresses the two-tiered innate immune system of Nicotiana benthamiana and other plants by injecting a complex repertoire of type III secretion effector (T3E) proteins. Effectorless polymutant DC3000D36E was used with a modularized system for native delivery of the 29 DC3000 T3Es singly and in pairs. Assays of the performance of this T3E library in N. benthamiana leaves revealed a matrix of T3E interplay, with six T3Es eliciting death and eight others variously suppressing the death activity of the six. The T3E library was also interrogated for effects on DC3000D36E elicitation of a reactive oxygen species burst, for growth in planta, and for T3Es that reversed these effects. Pseudomonas fluorescens and Agrobacterium tumefaciens heterologous delivery systems yielded notably different sets of death-T3Es. The DC3000D36E T3E library system highlights the importance of 13 T3Es and their interplay in interactions with N. benthamiana.

Article Synopsis
- Malaria and Typhoid fever are major health issues in tropical areas, worsened by unclear treatment protocols, drug resistance, and environmental conditions, making quick and correct diagnoses essential to reduce death rates.
- Traditional diagnostic methods struggle due to overlapping symptoms; however, using machine learning models and explainable AI (XAI) techniques can provide better insights into these diseases by clarifying how decisions are made.
- The study shows that the Random Forest model, along with tools like LIME and GPT, can enhance diagnostic transparency, but the overall effectiveness is limited by dataset quality and challenges related to real-time application and internet dependency.
T3E: a tool for characterising the epigenetic profile of transposable elements using ChIP-seq data.

Background: Despite the advent of Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (ChIP-seq) having revolutionised our understanding of the mammalian genome's regulatory landscape, many challenges remain. In particular, because of their repetitive nature, the sequencing reads derived from transposable elements (TEs) pose a real bioinformatics challenge, to the point that standard analysis pipelines typically ignore reads whose genomic origin cannot be unambiguously ascertained.
Results: We show that discarding ambiguously mapping reads may lead to a systematic underestimation of the number of reads associated with young TE families/subfamilies.

Phytopathogenic bacteria secrete type III effector (T3E) proteins directly into host plant cells. T3Es can interact with plant proteins and frequently manipulate plant host physiological or developmental processes. The proper subcellular localization of T3Es is critical for their ability to interact with plant targets, and knowledge of T3E localization can be informative for studies of effector function.

We present the performance of the fast classical molecular dynamics (MD) code, fast molecular dynamics (FMD), designed for efficient, object-oriented, and scalable large scale simulations, and summarize its application to a liquid crystalline cluster. FMD uses an implementation of the three-dimensional fast multipole method, developed in our group. The fast multipole method offers an efficient way (order O(N)) to handle long range electrostatic interactions, thus, enabling more realistic simulations of large molecular systems.
