We conducted long-term capture-mark-recapture surveys on two isolated ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) populations in northern Illinois, USA. This dataset provides the capture history strings and additional demographic information used for estimating population vital rates with robust design capture-mark-recapture models. The vital rates were then used in a stage-based population projection matrix model for each population.

This dataset includes image stacks, annotated counts, and ground-truth masks from two high-resolution sediment cores extracted from Laguna Pallcacocha, in El Cajas National Park, Ecuadorian Andes by Moy et al. (2002) and Hagemans et al. (2021). The first core (PAL 1999, from Moy et al. (2002)) extends through the Holocene (11,600 cal. yr. BP - present). There are a total of 900 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL 1999 domain. The second core (PAL IV, from Hagemans et al. (2021)) captures the 20th century. There are 2986 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL IV domain. Different microscopes and annotations tools were used to image and annotate each core and there are corresponding differences in naming conventions and file formats. Thus, we organized our data separately for the PAL 1999 and the PAL IV domains. The three letter codes used to label our pollen annotations are in the file: “Pollen_Identification_Codes.xlsx”. Both domain directories contain: • Image stacks organized by subdirectory • Annotations within each image stack directory, containing specimen identifications using a three letter code and coordinates defining bounding boxes or circles • Ground-truth distance-transform masks for each image stack The zip file "bestValModel_encoder.paramOnly.zip" is the trained pollen detection model produced from the images and annotations in this dataset.

This dataset contain information for the paper "Changes in neuropeptide prohormone genes among Cetartio-dactyla livestock and wild species associated with evolution and domestication" Veterinary Sciences, MDPI. Protein sequences were predicted using GeneWise for 98 neuropeptide prohormone genes from publicly available genomes of 118 Cetartiodactyla species. All predictions (CetartiodactylaSequences2022.zip) were manually verified. Sequences were aligned within each prohormone using MAFFT (MDPImultalign2022.zip includes multiple sequence alignment of all species available for each prohormone). Phylogenetic gene trees were constructed using PhyML and the species tree was constructed using ASTRAL (MDPItree2022.zip).

Mitochondria play a key role in energy production and metabolism, making them a promising target for metabolic engineering and disease treatment. However, despite the known influence of passenger proteins on localization efficiency, only a few protein-localization tags have been characterized for mitochondrial targeting. To address this limitation, we leverage a Variational Autoencoder to design novel mitochondrial targeting sequences. In silico analysis reveals that a high fraction of the generated peptides (90.14%) are functional and possess features important for mitochondrial targeting. We characterize artificial peptides in four eukaryotic organisms and, as a proof-of-concept, demonstrate their utility in increasing 3-hydroxypropionic acid titers through pathway compartmentalization and improving 5-aminolevulinate synthase delivery by 1.62-fold and 4.76-fold, respectively. Moreover, we employ latent space interpolation to shed light on the evolutionary origins of dual-targeting sequences. Overall, our work demonstrates the potential of generative artificial intelligence for both fundamental research and practical applications in mitochondrial biology.

Sugarcane, a tropical C4 grass in the genus Saccharum (Poaceae), accounts for nearly 80% of sugar produced worldwide and is also an important feedstock for biofuel production. Generating transgenic sugarcane with predictable and stable transgene expression is critical for crop improvement. In this study, we generated a highly expressed single copy locus as landing pad for transgene stacking. Transgenic sugarcane lines with stable integration of a single copy nptII expression cassette flanked by insulators supported higher transgene expression along with reduced line to line variation when compared to single copy events without insulators by NPTII ELISA analysis. Subsequently, the nptII selectable marker gene was efficiently excised from the sugarcane genome by the FLPe/FRT site-specific recombination system to create selectable marker free plants. This study provides valuable resources for future gene stacking using site-specific recombination or genome editing tools.
