This paper describes a robust multivariate model for quantifying and characterizing blends of Robusta and Arabica coffees. At different degrees of roasting, 120 ground coffee blends (0.0-33.0%) were formulated. Spectra were obtained by two different techniques, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS). Partial least squares (PLS) models were built individually with the two types of spectra. Nevertheless, better predictions were obtained by low and medium-level data fusion, taking advantage from the synergy between these two data sets. Data fusion models were improved by variable selection, using genetic algorithms (GA) and ordered predictors selection (OPS). The smallest prediction errors were provided by OPS low-level data fusion model. The number of variables used for regression was reduced from 2145 (full spectra) to 230. Model interpretation was performed by assigning some of the selected variables to specific coffee components, such as trigonelline and chlorogenic acids.

Synthetic lethality approaches in BRCA1/2-mutated cancers have focused on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which are subject to high rates of innate or acquired resistance in patients. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-based screening to identify DNA Ligase I (LIG1) as a novel target for synthetic lethality in BRCA1-mutated cancers. Publicly available data supported LIG1 hyperdependence of BRCA1-mutant cells across a variety of breast and ovarian cancer cell lines.

Unlabelled: Antibiotic resistance is a global crisis that stems from the use of antibiotics as an essential part of modern medicine. Understanding how antibiotic resistance is controlled among cells in bacterial populations will provide insights into how antibiotics shape microbial communities. Here, we describe patterns of gene expression that arise from growth on a surface either in isolation or under subinhibitory chloramphenicol exposure.

PAX3-FOXO1, an oncogenic transcription factor, drives a particularly aggressive subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) by enforcing gene expression programs that support malignant cell states. Here we show that PAX3-FOXO1 RMS cells exhibit altered pyrimidine metabolism and increased dependence on enzymes involved in pyrimidine synthesis, including dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Consequently, PAX3-FOXO1 cells display increased sensitivity to inhibition of DHFR by the chemotherapeutic drug methotrexate, and this dependence is rescued by provision of pyrimidine nucleotides.

NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular immune receptors that detect pathogen-associated cues and trigger defense mechanisms, including regulated cell death. In filamentous fungi, some NLRs mediate heterokaryon incompatibility, a self/non-self recognition process that prevents the vegetative fusion of genetically distinct individuals, reducing the risk of parasitism. The and NLRs in are highly polymorphic incompatibility genes ( genes) whose products recognize different alleles of the gene via a sensor domain composed of WD40 repeats.

Introduction: Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease that poses a considerable challenge to global public health. Existing diagnostic methods for this condition, such as serological assays and bacterial culture, encounter difficulties due to their limited specificity and high operational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of enhanced diagnostic approaches for brucellosis.
