Over the last decade merge trees have been proven to support a plethora of visualization and analysis tasks since they effectively abstract complex datasets. This paper describes the ExTreeM-Algorithm: A scalable algorithm for the computation of merge trees via extremum graphs. The core idea of ExTreeM is to first derive the extremum graph G of an input scalar field f defined on a cell complex K, and subsequently compute the unaugmented merge tree of f on G instead of K; which are equivalent. Any merge tree algorithm can be carried out significantly faster on G, since K in general contains substantially more cells than G. To further speed up computation, ExTreeM includes a tailored procedure to derive merge trees of extremum graphs. The computation of the fully augmented merge tree, i.e., a merge tree domain segmentation of K, can then be performed in an optional post-processing step. All steps of ExTreeM consist of procedures with high parallel efficiency, and we provide a formal proof of its correctness. Our experiments, performed on publicly available datasets, report a speedup of up to one order of magnitude over the state-of-the-art algorithms included in the TTK and VTK-m software libraries, while also requiring significantly less memory and exhibiting excellent scaling behavior.

The Yugur people represent one of the ethnic groups residing within the Hexi Corridor, distinguishable by their small population size, linguistic diversity, intricate ancestral components, serving as a quintessential exemplar of the populations inhabiting this corridor. There are still many controversial issues in the academic community regarding the origin, migration, and formation process of the Yugur. In this study, we explored the formation process of the Yugur from the perspective of molecular anthropology, based on the paternal genetic characteristics of the Yugur people.

Clustering explanation based on multi-hyperrectangle.

Sci Rep

December 2024

College of Science and Technology, Ningbo University, Cixi, 315300, China.

Clustering plays a crucial role in data mining and pattern recognition, but the interpretation of clustering results is often challenging. Existing interpretation methods usually lack an intuitive and accurate description of irregular shapes and high dimensional datas. This paper proposes a novel clustering explanation method based on a Multi-HyperRectangle(MHR), for extracting post hoc explanations of clustering results.

OHDLF: A Method for Selecting Orthologous Genes for Phylogenetic Construction and Its Application in the Genus .

Genes (Basel)

October 2024

Center of Genomics and Bioinformatics, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Breeding, College of Agriculture, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China.

Accurate phylogenetic tree construction for species without reference genomes often relies on de novo transcriptome assembly to identify single-copy orthologous genes. However, challenges such as whole-genome duplication (WGD), heterozygosity, gene duplication, and loss can hinder the selection of these genes, leading to limited data for constructing reliable species trees. To address these issues, we developed a new analytical pipeline, OHDLF (Orthologous Haploid Duplication and Loss Filter), which filters orthologous genes from transcript data and adapts parameter settings based on genomic characteristics for further phylogenetic tree construction.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant functional traits are important for understanding how different species acquire resources, with separate factors for aboveground (leaves) and belowground (roots) traits, differing from broader trends.
  • The study focuses on intraspecific variation within seedlings, which experience high mortality, and aims to uncover the relationship between these seedlings' traits and factors like soil nutrients and light.
  • Results indicated that leaf and root traits operate on different axes, highlighting an emerging collaboration axis belowground, and suggest limited links between traits and environmental factors, indicating seedlings face specific constraints that may affect their adaptation to changing conditions.
