    Origins and functional impact of copy number variation in the human genome (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-10-09
    Description: Structural variations of DNA greater than 1 kilobase in size account for most bases that vary among human genomes, but are still relatively under-ascertained. Here we use tiling oligonucleotide microarrays, comprising 42 million probes, to generate a comprehensive map of 11,700 copy number variations (CNVs) greater than 443 base pairs, of which most (8,599) have been validated independently. For 4,978 of these CNVs, we generated reference genotypes from 450 individuals of European, African or East Asian ancestry. The predominant mutational mechanisms differ among CNV size classes. Retrotransposition has duplicated and inserted some coding and non-coding DNA segments randomly around the genome. Furthermore, by correlation with known trait-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we identified 30 loci with CNVs that are candidates for influencing disease susceptibility. Despite this, having assessed the completeness of our map and the patterns of linkage disequilibrium between CNVs and SNPs, we conclude that, for complex traits, the heritability void left by genome-wide association studies will not be accounted for by common CNVs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330748/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330748/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Conrad, Donald F -- Pinto, Dalila -- Redon, Richard -- Feuk, Lars -- Gokcumen, Omer -- Zhang, Yujun -- Aerts, Jan -- Andrews, T Daniel -- Barnes, Chris -- Campbell, Peter -- Fitzgerald, Tomas -- Hu, Min -- Ihm, Chun Hwa -- Kristiansson, Kati -- Macarthur, Daniel G -- Macdonald, Jeffrey R -- Onyiah, Ifejinelo -- Pang, Andy Wing Chun -- Robson, Sam -- Stirrups, Kathy -- Valsesia, Armand -- Walter, Klaudia -- Wei, John -- Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium -- Tyler-Smith, Chris -- Carter, Nigel P -- Lee, Charles -- Scherer, Stephen W -- Hurles, Matthew E -- 077006/Z/05/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077008/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077009/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077014/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 088340/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- GM081533/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HG004221/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 1;464(7289):704-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08516.

    Impact of changes in diffuse radiation on the global land carbon sink (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-28
    Description: Plant photosynthesis tends to increase with irradiance. However, recent theoretical and observational studies have demonstrated that photosynthesis is also more efficient under diffuse light conditions. Changes in cloud cover or atmospheric aerosol loadings, arising from either volcanic or anthropogenic emissions, alter both the total photosynthetically active radiation reaching the surface and the fraction of this radiation that is diffuse, with uncertain overall effects on global plant productivity and the land carbon sink. Here we estimate the impact of variations in diffuse fraction on the land carbon sink using a global model modified to account for the effects of variations in both direct and diffuse radiation on canopy photosynthesis. We estimate that variations in diffuse fraction, associated largely with the 'global dimming' period, enhanced the land carbon sink by approximately one-quarter between 1960 and 1999. However, under a climate mitigation scenario for the twenty-first century in which sulphate aerosols decline before atmospheric CO(2) is stabilized, this 'diffuse-radiation' fertilization effect declines rapidly to near zero by the end of the twenty-first century.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mercado, Lina M -- Bellouin, Nicolas -- Sitch, Stephen -- Boucher, Olivier -- Huntingford, Chris -- Wild, Martin -- Cox, Peter M -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 23;458(7241):1014-7. doi: 10.1038/nature07949.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford OX10 8BB, UK. lmme@ceh.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19396143" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Design of protein-interaction specificity gives selective bZIP-binding peptides (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-17
    Description: Interaction specificity is a required feature of biological networks and a necessary characteristic of protein or small-molecule reagents and therapeutics. The ability to alter or inhibit protein interactions selectively would advance basic and applied molecular science. Assessing or modelling interaction specificity requires treating multiple competing complexes, which presents computational and experimental challenges. Here we present a computational framework for designing protein-interaction specificity and use it to identify specific peptide partners for human basic-region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors. Protein microarrays were used to characterize designed, synthetic ligands for all but one of 20 bZIP families. The bZIP proteins share strong sequence and structural similarities and thus are challenging targets to bind specifically. Nevertheless, many of the designs, including examples that bind the oncoproteins c-Jun, c-Fos and c-Maf (also called JUN, FOS and MAF, respectively), were selective for their targets over all 19 other families. Collectively, the designs exhibit a wide range of interaction profiles and demonstrate that human bZIPs have only sparsely sampled the possible interaction space accessible to them. Our computational method provides a way to systematically analyse trade-offs between stability and specificity and is suitable for use with many types of structure-scoring functions; thus, it may prove broadly useful as a tool for protein design.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2748673/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2748673/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grigoryan, Gevorg -- Reinke, Aaron W -- Keating, Amy E -- GM67681/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067681/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067681-04/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067681-05/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 16;458(7240):859-64. doi: 10.1038/nature07885.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉MIT Department of Biology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19370028" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Is REST a regulator of pluripotency? (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-02-27
    Description: Establishment and maintenance of the pluripotent state of ESCs is a key issue in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, and consequently identification of transcription factors that regulate ESC pluripotency is an important goal. Singh et al. claim that the transcriptional repressor REST is such a regulator and that a 50% reduction of REST in ESCs leads to activation of a specific microRNA, miR-21, and that this subsequently results in loss of pluripotency markers and a reciprocal gain in some lineage-specific differentiation markers. In contrast, we show that, in haplodeficient Rest(+/-) ESCs, we detected no change in pluripotency markers, no precocious expression of differentiated neuronal markers and no interaction of REST with miR-21. It is vital that identification of factors that regulate pluripotency is based on robust, consistent data, and the contrast in data reported here undermines the claim by Singh et al. that REST is such a regulator.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Buckley, Noel J -- Johnson, Rory -- Sun, Yuh-Man -- Stanton, Lawrence W -- England -- Nature. 2009 Feb 26;457(7233):E5-6; discussion E7. doi: 10.1038/nature07784.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉King's College London, Institute of Psychiatry, Centre for the Cellular Basis of Behaviour, James Black Centre, 125 Coldharbour Lane, London SE5 9NU, UK. noel.buckley@iop.kcl.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19242418" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Marine viruses affect Bacteria, Archaea and eukaryotic organisms and are major components of the marine food web. Most studies have focused on their role as predators and parasites, but many of the interactions between marine viruses and their hosts are much more complicated. A series of recent studies has shown that viruses have the ability to manipulate the life histories and evolution of their hosts in remarkable ways, challenging our understanding of this almost invisible world.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rohwer, Forest -- Thurber, Rebecca Vega -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 14;459(7244):207-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08060.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, San Diego State University, San Diego, California 92182, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19444207" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Numerically, microbial species dominate the oceans, yet their population dynamics, metabolic complexity and synergistic interactions remain largely uncharted. A full understanding of life in the ocean requires more than knowledge of marine microbial taxa and their genome sequences. The latest experimental techniques and analytical approaches can provide a fresh perspective on the biological interactions within marine ecosystems, aiding in the construction of predictive models that can interrelate microbial dynamics with the biogeochemical matter and energy fluxes that make up the ocean ecosystem.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉DeLong, Edward F -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 14;459(7244):200-6. doi: 10.1038/nature08059.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA. delong@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19444206" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A tunable synthetic mammalian oscillator (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-01-17
    Description: Autonomous and self-sustained oscillator circuits mediating the periodic induction of specific target genes are minimal genetic time-keeping devices found in the central and peripheral circadian clocks. They have attracted significant attention because of their intriguing dynamics and their importance in controlling critical repair, metabolic and signalling pathways. The precise molecular mechanism and expression dynamics of this mammalian circadian clock are still not fully understood. Here we describe a synthetic mammalian oscillator based on an auto-regulated sense-antisense transcription control circuit encoding a positive and a time-delayed negative feedback loop, enabling autonomous, self-sustained and tunable oscillatory gene expression. After detailed systems design with experimental analyses and mathematical modelling, we monitored oscillating concentrations of green fluorescent protein with tunable frequency and amplitude by time-lapse microscopy in real time in individual Chinese hamster ovary cells. The synthetic mammalian clock may provide an insight into the dynamics of natural periodic processes and foster advances in the design of prosthetic networks in future gene and cell therapies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tigges, Marcel -- Marquez-Lago, Tatiana T -- Stelling, Jorg -- Fussenegger, Martin -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jan 15;457(7227):309-12. doi: 10.1038/nature07616.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, ETH Zurich, Mattenstrasse 26, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19148099" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Chromatin signature reveals over a thousand highly conserved large non-coding RNAs in mammals (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-02-03
    Description: There is growing recognition that mammalian cells produce many thousands of large intergenic transcripts. However, the functional significance of these transcripts has been particularly controversial. Although there are some well-characterized examples, most (〉95%) show little evidence of evolutionary conservation and have been suggested to represent transcriptional noise. Here we report a new approach to identifying large non-coding RNAs using chromatin-state maps to discover discrete transcriptional units intervening known protein-coding loci. Our approach identified approximately 1,600 large multi-exonic RNAs across four mouse cell types. In sharp contrast to previous collections, these large intervening non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) show strong purifying selection in their genomic loci, exonic sequences and promoter regions, with greater than 95% showing clear evolutionary conservation. We also developed a functional genomics approach that assigns putative functions to each lincRNA, demonstrating a diverse range of roles for lincRNAs in processes from embryonic stem cell pluripotency to cell proliferation. We obtained independent functional validation for the predictions for over 100 lincRNAs, using cell-based assays. In particular, we demonstrate that specific lincRNAs are transcriptionally regulated by key transcription factors in these processes such as p53, NFkappaB, Sox2, Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) and Nanog. Together, these results define a unique collection of functional lincRNAs that are highly conserved and implicated in diverse biological processes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754849/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754849/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guttman, Mitchell -- Amit, Ido -- Garber, Manuel -- French, Courtney -- Lin, Michael F -- Feldser, David -- Huarte, Maite -- Zuk, Or -- Carey, Bryce W -- Cassady, John P -- Cabili, Moran N -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Mikkelsen, Tarjei S -- Jacks, Tyler -- Hacohen, Nir -- Bernstein, Bradley E -- Kellis, Manolis -- Regev, Aviv -- Rinn, John L -- Lander, Eric S -- DP1 OD003958/OD/NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003067-05/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Mar 12;458(7235):223-7. doi: 10.1038/nature07672.

    Copy number variation at 1q21.1 associated with neuroblastoma (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-06-19
    Description: Common copy number variations (CNVs) represent a significant source of genetic diversity, yet their influence on phenotypic variability, including disease susceptibility, remains poorly understood. To address this problem in human cancer, we performed a genome-wide association study of CNVs in the childhood cancer neuroblastoma, a disease in which single nucleotide polymorphism variations are known to influence susceptibility. We first genotyped 846 Caucasian neuroblastoma patients and 803 healthy Caucasian controls at approximately 550,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms, and performed a CNV-based test for association. We then replicated significant observations in two independent sample sets comprised of a total of 595 cases and 3,357 controls. Here we describe the identification of a common CNV at chromosome 1q21.1 associated with neuroblastoma in the discovery set, which was confirmed in both replication sets. This CNV was validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, fluorescent in situ hybridization and analysis of matched tumour specimens, and was shown to be heritable in an independent set of 713 cancer-free parent-offspring trios. We identified a previously unknown transcript within the CNV that showed high sequence similarity to several neuroblastoma breakpoint family (NBPF) genes and represents a new member of this gene family (NBPF23). This transcript was preferentially expressed in fetal brain and fetal sympathetic nervous tissues, and the expression level was strictly correlated with CNV state in neuroblastoma cells. These data demonstrate that inherited copy number variation at 1q21.1 is associated with neuroblastoma and implicate a previously unknown neuroblastoma breakpoint family gene in early tumorigenesis of this childhood cancer.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2755253/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2755253/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Diskin, Sharon J -- Hou, Cuiping -- Glessner, Joseph T -- Attiyeh, Edward F -- Laudenslager, Marci -- Bosse, Kristopher -- Cole, Kristina -- Mosse, Yael P -- Wood, Andrew -- Lynch, Jill E -- Pecor, Katlyn -- Diamond, Maura -- Winter, Cynthia -- Wang, Kai -- Kim, Cecilia -- Geiger, Elizabeth A -- McGrady, Patrick W -- Blakemore, Alexandra I F -- London, Wendy B -- Shaikh, Tamim H -- Bradfield, Jonathan -- Grant, Struan F A -- Li, Hongzhe -- Devoto, Marcella -- Rappaport, Eric R -- Hakonarson, Hakon -- Maris, John M -- GM081519/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R00 CA151869/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA087847/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA087847-05/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA124709/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA124709-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA124709/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA87847/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32-HG000046/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U10 CA098543/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U10 CA098543-07/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U10-CA98543/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jun 18;459(7249):987-91. doi: 10.1038/nature08035.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Oncology and Center for Childhood Cancer Research, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19536264" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolutionary diversification in stickleback affects ecosystem functioning (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-03
    Description: Explaining the ecological causes of evolutionary diversification is a major focus of biology, but surprisingly little has been said about the effects of evolutionary diversification on ecosystems. The number of species in an ecosystem and their traits are key predictors of many ecosystem-level processes, such as rates of productivity, biomass sequestration and decomposition. Here we demonstrate short-term ecosystem-level effects of adaptive radiation in the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) over the past 10,000 years. These fish have undergone recent parallel diversification in several lakes in coastal British Columbia, resulting in the formation of two specialized species (benthic and limnetic) from a generalist ancestor. Using a mesocosm experiment, we demonstrate that this diversification has strong effects on ecosystems, affecting prey community structure, total primary production, and the nature of dissolved organic materials that regulate the spectral properties of light transmission in the system. However, these ecosystem effects do not simply increase in their relative strength with increasing specialization and species richness; instead, they reflect the complex and indirect consequences of ecosystem engineering by sticklebacks. It is well known that ecological factors influence adaptive radiation. We demonstrate that adaptive radiation, even over short timescales, can have profound effects on ecosystems.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harmon, Luke J -- Matthews, Blake -- Des Roches, Simone -- Chase, Jonathan M -- Shurin, Jonathan B -- Schluter, Dolph -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 30;458(7242):1167-70. doi: 10.1038/nature07974.

    Genome-wide silencing in Drosophila captures conserved apoptotic effectors (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-06-02
    Description: Apoptosis is a conserved form of programmed cell death firmly established in the aetiology, pathogenesis and treatment of many human diseases. Central to the core machinery of apoptosis are the caspases and their proximal regulators. Current models for caspase control involve a balance of opposing elements, with variable contributions from positive and negative regulators among different cell types and species. To advance a comprehensive view of components that support caspase-dependent cell death, we conducted a genome-wide silencing screen in the Drosophila model. Our strategy used a library of double-stranded RNAs together with a chemical antagonist of Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) that simulates the action of native regulators in the Reaper and Smac (also known as Diablo) families. Here we present a highly validated set of targets that is necessary for death provoked by several stimuli. Among these, Tango7 is identified as a new effector. Cells depleted for this gene resisted apoptosis at a step before the induction of effector caspase activity, and the directed silencing of Tango7 in Drosophila prevented caspase-dependent programmed cell death. Unlike known apoptosis regulators in this model system, Tango7 activity did not influence stimulus-dependent loss of Drosophila DIAP1 (also known as th and IAP1), but instead regulated levels of the apical caspase Dronc (Nc). Similarly, the human Tango7 counterpart, PCID1 (also known as EIF3M), impinged on caspase 9, revealing a new regulatory axis affecting the apoptosome.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2777527/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2777527/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chew, Su Kit -- Chen, Po -- Link, Nichole -- Galindo, Kathleen A -- Pogue, Kristi -- Abrams, John M -- R01 AA017328/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AA017328-01/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AA017328-02/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124-10/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124-11/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124-12/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124-13/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072124-14A1/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R56 GM072124/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R56 GM072124-14/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 2;460(7251):123-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08087.

    Argonaute HITS-CLIP decodes microRNA-mRNA interaction maps (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-06-19
    Description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have critical roles in the regulation of gene expression; however, as miRNA activity requires base pairing with only 6-8 nucleotides of messenger RNA, predicting target mRNAs is a major challenge. Recently, high-throughput sequencing of RNAs isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) has identified functional protein-RNA interaction sites. Here we use HITS-CLIP to covalently crosslink native argonaute (Ago, also called Eif2c) protein-RNA complexes in mouse brain. This produced two simultaneous data sets-Ago-miRNA and Ago-mRNA binding sites-that were combined with bioinformatic analysis to identify interaction sites between miRNA and target mRNA. We validated genome-wide interaction maps for miR-124, and generated additional maps for the 20 most abundant miRNAs present in P13 mouse brain. Ago HITS-CLIP provides a general platform for exploring the specificity and range of miRNA action in vivo, and identifies precise sequences for targeting clinically relevant miRNA-mRNA interactions.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2733940/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2733940/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chi, Sung Wook -- Zang, Julie B -- Mele, Aldo -- Darnell, Robert B -- R01 NS034389/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS034389-14/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 23;460(7254):479-86. doi: 10.1038/nature08170.

    Description: Marine diatoms rose to prominence about 100 million years ago and today generate most of the organic matter that serves as food for life in the sea. They exist in a dilute world where compounds essential for growth are recycled and shared, and they greatly influence global climate, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and marine ecosystem function. How these essential organisms will respond to the rapidly changing conditions in today's oceans is critical for the health of the environment and is being uncovered by studies of their genomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Armbrust, E Virginia -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 14;459(7244):185-92. doi: 10.1038/nature08057.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA. armbrust@ocean.washington.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19444204" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The effect of permafrost thaw on old carbon release and net carbon exchange from tundra (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-30
    Description: Permafrost soils in boreal and Arctic ecosystems store almost twice as much carbon as is currently present in the atmosphere. Permafrost thaw and the microbial decomposition of previously frozen organic carbon is considered one of the most likely positive climate feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere in a warmer world. The rate of carbon release from permafrost soils is highly uncertain, but it is crucial for predicting the strength and timing of this carbon-cycle feedback effect, and thus how important permafrost thaw will be for climate change this century and beyond. Sustained transfers of carbon to the atmosphere that could cause a significant positive feedback to climate change must come from old carbon, which forms the bulk of the permafrost carbon pool that accumulated over thousands of years. Here we measure net ecosystem carbon exchange and the radiocarbon age of ecosystem respiration in a tundra landscape undergoing permafrost thaw to determine the influence of old carbon loss on ecosystem carbon balance. We find that areas that thawed over the past 15 years had 40 per cent more annual losses of old carbon than minimally thawed areas, but had overall net ecosystem carbon uptake as increased plant growth offset these losses. In contrast, areas that thawed decades earlier lost even more old carbon, a 78 per cent increase over minimally thawed areas; this old carbon loss contributed to overall net ecosystem carbon release despite increased plant growth. Our data document significant losses of soil carbon with permafrost thaw that, over decadal timescales, overwhelms increased plant carbon uptake at rates that could make permafrost a large biospheric carbon source in a warmer world.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schuur, Edward A G -- Vogel, Jason G -- Crummer, Kathryn G -- Lee, Hanna -- Sickman, James O -- Osterkamp, T E -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 28;459(7246):556-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08031.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA. tschuur@ufl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19478781" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The importance of niches for the maintenance of species diversity (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-08-14
    Description: Ecological communities characteristically contain a wide diversity of species with important functional, economic and aesthetic value. Ecologists have long questioned how this diversity is maintained. Classic theory shows that stable coexistence requires competitors to differ in their niches; this has motivated numerous investigations of ecological differences presumed to maintain diversity. That niche differences are key to coexistence, however, has recently been challenged by the neutral theory of biodiversity, which explains coexistence with the equivalence of competitors. The ensuing controversy has motivated calls for a better understanding of the collective importance of niche differences for the diversity observed in ecological communities. Here we integrate theory and experimentation to show that niche differences collectively stabilize the dynamics of experimental communities of serpentine annual plants. We used field-parameterized population models to develop a null expectation for community dynamics without the stabilizing effects of niche differences. The population growth rates predicted by this null model varied by several orders of magnitude between species, which is sufficient for rapid competitive exclusion. Moreover, after two generations of community change in the field, Shannon diversity was over 50 per cent greater in communities stabilized by niche differences relative to those exhibiting dynamics predicted by the null model. Finally, in an experiment manipulating species' relative abundances, population growth rates increased when species became rare--the demographic signature of niche differences. Our work thus provides strong evidence that species differences have a critical role in stabilizing species diversity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Levine, Jonathan M -- HilleRisLambers, Janneke -- England -- Nature. 2009 Sep 10;461(7261):254-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08251.

    Evidence for escape from adaptive conflict? (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-17
    Description: Gene duplication is the primary source of new genes, but the molecular evolutionary mechanisms underlying functional divergence of duplicate genes are not well understood. Des Marais and Rausher argued that data from plant dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) genes support the model that gene duplication allows the escape from adaptive conflict (EAC) among several functions of a single-copy progenitor gene. As the authors indicated, the key predictions of EAC, in comparison to other models, are that (i) adaptive changes occur in both daughter genes after duplication, and (ii) these adaptive changes must improve ancestral functions. Furthermore, EAC indicates that (iii) the improvement of several ancestral functions is constrained before duplication, although this last point was not explicitly stated. Here we show that contrary to the predictions of EAC, only one of the duplicated DFR lineages exhibited adaptive sequence changes. Owing to the lack of information on enzyme concentrations we question the accuracy of enzyme activity comparisons, and it is thus not clear that any ancestral function has been improved in either lineage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barkman, Todd -- Zhang, Jianzhi -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 10;462(7274):E1; discussion E2-3. doi: 10.1038/nature08663.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biological Sciences, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49008, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20010636" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Glaciers as a source of ancient and labile organic matter to the marine environment (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-25
    Description: Riverine organic matter supports of the order of one-fifth of estuarine metabolism. Coastal ecosystems are therefore sensitive to alteration of both the quantity and lability of terrigenous dissolved organic matter (DOM) delivered by rivers. The lability of DOM is thought to vary with age, with younger, relatively unaltered organic matter being more easily metabolized by aquatic heterotrophs than older, heavily modified material. This view is developed exclusively from work in watersheds where terrestrial plant and soil sources dominate streamwater DOM. Here we characterize streamwater DOM from 11 coastal watersheds on the Gulf of Alaska that vary widely in glacier coverage (0-64 per cent). In contrast to non-glacial rivers, we find that the bioavailability of DOM to marine microorganisms is significantly correlated with increasing (14)C age. Moreover, the most heavily glaciated watersheds are the source of the oldest ( approximately 4 kyr (14)C age) and most labile (66 per cent bioavailable) DOM. These glacial watersheds have extreme runoff rates, in part because they are subject to some of the highest rates of glacier volume loss on Earth. We estimate the cumulative flux of dissolved organic carbon derived from glaciers contributing runoff to the Gulf of Alaska at 0.13 +/- 0.01 Tg yr(-1) (1 Tg = 10(12) g), of which approximately 0.10 Tg is highly labile. This indicates that glacial runoff is a quantitatively important source of labile reduced carbon to marine ecosystems. Moreover, because glaciers and ice sheets represent the second largest reservoir of water in the global hydrologic system, our findings indicate that climatically driven changes in glacier volume could alter the age, quantity and reactivity of DOM entering coastal oceans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hood, Eran -- Fellman, Jason -- Spencer, Robert G M -- Hernes, Peter J -- Edwards, Rick -- D'Amore, David -- Scott, Durelle -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 24;462(7276):1044-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08580.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Environmental Science and Geography Program, University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau, Alaska 99801, USA. eran.hood@uas.alaska.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20033045" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Gal4 turnover and transcription activation (2009)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-10-09
    Description: Growing evidence supports the notion that proteasome-mediated destruction of transcriptional activators can be intimately coupled to their function. Recently, Nalley et al. challenged this view by reporting that the prototypical yeast activator Gal4 does not dynamically associate with chromatin, but rather 'locks in' to stable promoter complexes that are resistant to competition. Here we present evidence that the assay used to reach this conclusion is unsuitable, and that promoter-bound, active Gal4 is indeed susceptible to competition in vivo. Our data challenge the key evidence that Nalley et al. used to reach their conclusion, and indicate that Gal4 functions in vivo within the context of dynamic promoter complexes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072683/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3072683/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Collins, Galen A -- Lipford, J Russell -- Deshaies, Raymond J -- Tansey, William P -- P01 CA013106/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA013106-310027/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Oct 8;461(7265):E7; discussion E8. doi: 10.1038/nature08406.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Watson School of Biological Sciences, 1 Bungtown Road, Cold Spring Harbor, New York 11724, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19812621" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An oestrogen-receptor-alpha-bound human chromatin interactome (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-11-06
    Description: Genomes are organized into high-level three-dimensional structures, and DNA elements separated by long genomic distances can in principle interact functionally. Many transcription factors bind to regulatory DNA elements distant from gene promoters. Although distal binding sites have been shown to regulate transcription by long-range chromatin interactions at a few loci, chromatin interactions and their impact on transcription regulation have not been investigated in a genome-wide manner. Here we describe the development of a new strategy, chromatin interaction analysis by paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) for the de novo detection of global chromatin interactions, with which we have comprehensively mapped the chromatin interaction network bound by oestrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) in the human genome. We found that most high-confidence remote ER-alpha-binding sites are anchored at gene promoters through long-range chromatin interactions, suggesting that ER-alpha functions by extensive chromatin looping to bring genes together for coordinated transcriptional regulation. We propose that chromatin interactions constitute a primary mechanism for regulating transcription in mammalian genomes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2774924/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2774924/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fullwood, Melissa J -- Liu, Mei Hui -- Pan, You Fu -- Liu, Jun -- Xu, Han -- Mohamed, Yusoff Bin -- Orlov, Yuriy L -- Velkov, Stoyan -- Ho, Andrea -- Mei, Poh Huay -- Chew, Elaine G Y -- Huang, Phillips Yao Hui -- Welboren, Willem-Jan -- Han, Yuyuan -- Ooi, Hong Sain -- Ariyaratne, Pramila N -- Vega, Vinsensius B -- Luo, Yanquan -- Tan, Peck Yean -- Choy, Pei Ye -- Wansa, K D Senali Abayratna -- Zhao, Bing -- Lim, Kar Sian -- Leow, Shi Chi -- Yow, Jit Sin -- Joseph, Roy -- Li, Haixia -- Desai, Kartiki V -- Thomsen, Jane S -- Lee, Yew Kok -- Karuturi, R Krishna Murthy -- Herve, Thoreau -- Bourque, Guillaume -- Stunnenberg, Hendrik G -- Ruan, Xiaoan -- Cacheux-Rataboul, Valere -- Sung, Wing-Kin -- Liu, Edison T -- Wei, Chia-Lin -- Cheung, Edwin -- Ruan, Yijun -- 1U54HG004557-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004456/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004456-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004456-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004456-03/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG003521-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG004456-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004557/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004557-01/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004557-02/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004557-03/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG004557-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Nov 5;462(7269):58-64. doi: 10.1038/nature08497.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Genome Institute of Singapore, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore 138672.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19890323" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A reevaluation of X-irradiation-induced phocomelia and proximodistal limb patterning (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-06-26
    Description: Phocomelia is a devastating, rare congenital limb malformation in which the long bones are shorter than normal, with the upper portion of the limb being most severely affected. In extreme cases, the hands or fingers are attached directly to the shoulder and the most proximal elements (those closest to the shoulder) are entirely missing. This disorder, previously known in both autosomal recessive and sporadic forms, showed a marked increase in incidence in the early 1960s due to the tragic toxicological effects of the drug thalidomide, which had been prescribed as a mild sedative. This human birth defect is mimicked in developing chick limb buds exposed to X-irradiation. Both X-irradiation and thalidomide-induced phocomelia have been interpreted as patterning defects in the context of the progress zone model, which states that a cell's proximodistal identity is determined by the length of time spent in a distal limb region termed the 'progress zone'. Indeed, studies of X-irradiation-induced phocomelia have served as one of the two major experimental lines of evidence supporting the validity of the progress zone model. Here, using a combination of molecular analysis and lineage tracing in chick, we show that X-irradiation-induced phocomelia is fundamentally not a patterning defect, but rather results from a time-dependent loss of skeletal progenitors. Because skeletal condensation proceeds from the shoulder to fingers (in a proximal to distal direction), the proximal elements are differentially affected in limb buds exposed to radiation at early stages. This conclusion changes the framework for considering the effect of thalidomide and other forms of phocomelia, suggesting the possibility that the aetiology lies not in a defect in the patterning process, but rather in progenitor cell survival and differentiation. Moreover, molecular evidence that proximodistal patterning is unaffected after X-irradiation does not support the predictions of the progress zone model.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2711994/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2711994/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Galloway, Jenna L -- Delgado, Irene -- Ros, Maria A -- Tabin, Clifford J -- F32 HD057701/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- F32 HD057701-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- F32 HD057701-02/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- F32HD057701/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- L40 HD057084/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- L40 HD057084-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R37 HD032443/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 16;460(7253):400-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08117.

    Common genetic variants on 5p14.1 associate with autism spectrum disorders (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-01
    Description: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) represent a group of childhood neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in verbal communication, impairment of social interaction, and restricted and repetitive patterns of interests and behaviour. To identify common genetic risk factors underlying ASDs, here we present the results of genome-wide association studies on a cohort of 780 families (3,101 subjects) with affected children, and a second cohort of 1,204 affected subjects and 6,491 control subjects, all of whom were of European ancestry. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms between cadherin 10 (CDH10) and cadherin 9 (CDH9)-two genes encoding neuronal cell-adhesion molecules-revealed strong association signals, with the most significant SNP being rs4307059 (P = 3.4 x 10(-8), odds ratio = 1.19). These signals were replicated in two independent cohorts, with combined P values ranging from 7.4 x 10(-8) to 2.1 x 10(-10). Our results implicate neuronal cell-adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of ASDs, and represent, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of genome-wide significant association of common variants with susceptibility to ASDs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2943511/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2943511/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Kai -- Zhang, Haitao -- Ma, Deqiong -- Bucan, Maja -- Glessner, Joseph T -- Abrahams, Brett S -- Salyakina, Daria -- Imielinski, Marcin -- Bradfield, Jonathan P -- Sleiman, Patrick M A -- Kim, Cecilia E -- Hou, Cuiping -- Frackelton, Edward -- Chiavacci, Rosetta -- Takahashi, Nagahide -- Sakurai, Takeshi -- Rappaport, Eric -- Lajonchere, Clara M -- Munson, Jeffrey -- Estes, Annette -- Korvatska, Olena -- Piven, Joseph -- Sonnenblick, Lisa I -- Alvarez Retuerto, Ana I -- Herman, Edward I -- Dong, Hongmei -- Hutman, Ted -- Sigman, Marian -- Ozonoff, Sally -- Klin, Ami -- Owley, Thomas -- Sweeney, John A -- Brune, Camille W -- Cantor, Rita M -- Bernier, Raphael -- Gilbert, John R -- Cuccaro, Michael L -- McMahon, William M -- Miller, Judith -- State, Matthew W -- Wassink, Thomas H -- Coon, Hilary -- Levy, Susan E -- Schultz, Robert T -- Nurnberger, John I -- Haines, Jonathan L -- Sutcliffe, James S -- Cook, Edwin H -- Minshew, Nancy J -- Buxbaum, Joseph D -- Dawson, Geraldine -- Grant, Struan F A -- Geschwind, Daniel H -- Pericak-Vance, Margaret A -- Schellenberg, Gerard D -- Hakonarson, Hakon -- 1U24MH081810/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- HD055751/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD055782-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD055784/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- M01-RR00064/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- MH061009/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH0666730/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH080647/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH081754/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH64547/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH69359/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- N01-HD-4-3368/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- N01-HD-4-3383/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS049261/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS26630/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS36768/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 NS026630/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 NS026630-109001/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055748/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055751/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055751-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055782-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055784/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055784-01/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055784-010002/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055784-020002/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- P50 HD055784-030002/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH061009/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH061009-01A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-01/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-01S1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-02S1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-03/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-04/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH064547-05/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH069359/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH069359-01A2/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH080647/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH080647-11/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH081754/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH081754-01/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH081754-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS036768/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS036768-06/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS049261/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS049261-01A2/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U54 MH066673/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- U54 MH066673-01A10001/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR024134/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR024134-01/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- UL1-RR024134-03/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 28;459(7246):528-33. doi: 10.1038/nature07999.

    Precise genome modification in the crop species Zea mays using zinc-finger nucleases (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-01
    Description: Agricultural biotechnology is limited by the inefficiencies of conventional random mutagenesis and transgenesis. Because targeted genome modification in plants has been intractable, plant trait engineering remains a laborious, time-consuming and unpredictable undertaking. Here we report a broadly applicable, versatile solution to this problem: the use of designed zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) that induce a double-stranded break at their target locus. We describe the use of ZFNs to modify endogenous loci in plants of the crop species Zea mays. We show that simultaneous expression of ZFNs and delivery of a simple heterologous donor molecule leads to precise targeted addition of an herbicide-tolerance gene at the intended locus in a significant number of isolated events. ZFN-modified maize plants faithfully transmit these genetic changes to the next generation. Insertional disruption of one target locus, IPK1, results in both herbicide tolerance and the expected alteration of the inositol phosphate profile in developing seeds. ZFNs can be used in any plant species amenable to DNA delivery; our results therefore establish a new strategy for plant genetic manipulation in basic science and agricultural applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shukla, Vipula K -- Doyon, Yannick -- Miller, Jeffrey C -- DeKelver, Russell C -- Moehle, Erica A -- Worden, Sarah E -- Mitchell, Jon C -- Arnold, Nicole L -- Gopalan, Sunita -- Meng, Xiangdong -- Choi, Vivian M -- Rock, Jeremy M -- Wu, Ying-Ying -- Katibah, George E -- Zhifang, Gao -- McCaskill, David -- Simpson, Matthew A -- Blakeslee, Beth -- Greenwalt, Scott A -- Butler, Holly J -- Hinkley, Sarah J -- Zhang, Lei -- Rebar, Edward J -- Gregory, Philip D -- Urnov, Fyodor D -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 21;459(7245):437-41. doi: 10.1038/nature07992.

    Is there an association between NPY and neuroticism? (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-03
    Description: Psychiatric genetics has been hampered by the fact that initially exciting findings from underpowered studies are so often not replicated in larger, more powerful, data sets. Here we show that the claims of Zhou et al. that neuropeptide Y (NPY) diplotype-predicted expression is correlated with trait anxiety (neuroticism) is not replicated in a data set consisting of phenotypically extreme individuals drawn from a large (n = 88,142) non-clinical population. We found no association between NPY diplotype or diplotype-predicted expression and neuroticism. Our reply to Zhou and colleagues forms part of a larger debate (see, for example, http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080709/full/454154a.html) about the efficacy and replicability of candidate driven versus genome wide approaches to psychiatric genetics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cotton, Colleen H -- Flint, Jonathan -- Campbell, Thomas G -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 2;458(7238):E6; discussion E7. doi: 10.1038/nature07927.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford OX3 7BN, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19340021" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Thewissen et al. describe new fossils from India that apparently support a phylogeny that places Cetacea (that is, whales, dolphins, porpoises) as the sister group to the extinct family Raoellidae, and Hippopotamidae as more closely related to pigs and peccaries (that is, Suina) than to cetaceans. However, our reanalysis of a modified version of the data set they used differs in retaining molecular characters and demonstrates that Hippopotamidae is the closest extant family to Cetacea and that raoellids are the closest extinct group, consistent with previous phylogenetic studies. This topology supports the view that the aquatic adaptations in hippopotamids and cetaceans are inherited from their common ancestor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Geisler, Jonathan H -- Theodor, Jessica M -- England -- Nature. 2009 Mar 19;458(7236):E1-4; discussion E5. doi: 10.1038/nature07776.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Geology and Geography and Georgia Southern Museum, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, Georgia 30460-8149, USA. geislerj@georgiasouthern.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19295550" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Silk production from tarantula feet questioned (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-10-23
    Description: As with all spiders, tarantulas spin silk from specialized structures in the abdomen called spinnerets, which are key features unique to the group. Recently Gorb et al. reported that the zebra tarantula Aphonopelma seemanni also secretes silk from its feet, which might improve its ability to climb on vertical surfaces. Here we show that when the spinnerets are experimentally sealed, the zebra tarantula cannot secrete silk or similar threads, disagreeing with previous reports by Gorb et al.. Additional evidence also disagrees with leg secretion of silk.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Perez-Miles, Fernando -- Panzera, Alejandra -- Ortiz-Villatoro, David -- Perdomo, Cintya -- England -- Nature. 2009 Oct 22;461(7267):E9; discussion E9-10. doi: 10.1038/nature08404.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Seccion Entomologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Igua 4225, 11400 Montevideo, Uruguay.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19847209" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Phylogenetic biome conservatism on a global scale (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-02-17
    Description: How and why organisms are distributed as they are has long intrigued evolutionary biologists. The tendency for species to retain their ancestral ecology has been demonstrated in distributions on local and regional scales, but the extent of ecological conservatism over tens of millions of years and across continents has not been assessed. Here we show that biome stasis at speciation has outweighed biome shifts by a ratio of more than 25:1, by inferring ancestral biomes for an ecologically diverse sample of more than 11,000 plant species from around the Southern Hemisphere. Stasis was also prevalent in transocean colonizations. Availability of a suitable biome could have substantially influenced which lineages establish on more than one landmass, in addition to the influence of the rarity of the dispersal events themselves. Conversely, the taxonomic composition of biomes has probably been strongly influenced by the rarity of species' transitions between biomes. This study has implications for the future because if clades have inherently limited capacity to shift biomes, then their evolutionary potential could be strongly compromised by biome contraction as climate changes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Crisp, Michael D -- Arroyo, Mary T K -- Cook, Lyn G -- Gandolfo, Maria A -- Jordan, Gregory J -- McGlone, Matt S -- Weston, Peter H -- Westoby, Mark -- Wilf, Peter -- Linder, H Peter -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 9;458(7239):754-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07764.

    Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry of microbial organic nutrient acquisition in soil and sediment (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-12-17
    Description: Biota can be described in terms of elemental composition, expressed as an atomic ratio of carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (refs 1-3). The elemental stoichiometry of microoorganisms is fundamental for understanding the production dynamics and biogeochemical cycles of ecosystems because microbial biomass is the trophic base of detrital food webs. Here we show that heterotrophic microbial communities of diverse composition from terrestrial soils and freshwater sediments share a common functional stoichiometry in relation to organic nutrient acquisition. The activities of four enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of assimilable products from the principal environmental sources of C, N and P show similar scaling relationships over several orders of magnitude, with a mean ratio for C:N:P activities near 1:1:1 in all habitats. We suggest that these ecoenzymatic ratios reflect the equilibria between the elemental composition of microbial biomass and detrital organic matter and the efficiencies of microbial nutrient assimilation and growth. Because ecoenzymatic activities intersect the stoichiometric and metabolic theories of ecology, they provide a functional measure of the threshold at which control of community metabolism shifts from nutrient to energy flow.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sinsabaugh, Robert L -- Hill, Brian H -- Follstad Shah, Jennifer J -- England -- Nature. 2009 Dec 10;462(7274):795-8. doi: 10.1038/nature08632.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biology Department, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 871312, USA. rlsinsab@unm.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20010687" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Anticipatory haemodynamic signals in sensory cortex not predicted by local neuronal activity (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-01-23
    Description: Haemodynamic signals underlying functional brain imaging (for example, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)) are assumed to reflect metabolic demand generated by local neuronal activity, with equal increases in haemodynamic signal implying equal increases in the underlying neuronal activity. Few studies have compared neuronal and haemodynamic signals in alert animals to test for this assumed correspondence. Here we present evidence that brings this assumption into question. Using a dual-wavelength optical imaging technique that independently measures cerebral blood volume and oxygenation, continuously, in alert behaving monkeys, we find two distinct components to the haemodynamic signal in the alert animals' primary visual cortex (V1). One component is reliably predictable from neuronal responses generated by visual input. The other component-of almost comparable strength-is a hitherto unknown signal that entrains to task structure independently of visual input or of standard neural predictors of haemodynamics. This latter component shows predictive timing, with increases of cerebral blood volume in anticipation of trial onsets even in darkness. This trial-locked haemodynamic signal could be due to an accompanying V1 arterial pumping mechanism, closely matched in time, with peaks of arterial dilation entrained to predicted trial onsets. These findings (tested in two animals) challenge the current understanding of the link between brain haemodynamics and local neuronal activity. They also suggest the existence of a novel preparatory mechanism in the brain that brings additional arterial blood to cortex in anticipation of expected tasks.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2705195/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2705195/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sirotin, Yevgeniy B -- Das, Aniruddha -- R01 EY013759/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 EY013759-01A1/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jan 22;457(7228):475-9. doi: 10.1038/nature07664.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neuroscience, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19158795" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems in China (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-04-28
    Description: Global terrestrial ecosystems absorbed carbon at a rate of 1-4 Pg yr(-1) during the 1980s and 1990s, offsetting 10-60 per cent of the fossil-fuel emissions. The regional patterns and causes of terrestrial carbon sources and sinks, however, remain uncertain. With increasing scientific and political interest in regional aspects of the global carbon cycle, there is a strong impetus to better understand the carbon balance of China. This is not only because China is the world's most populous country and the largest emitter of fossil-fuel CO(2) into the atmosphere, but also because it has experienced regionally distinct land-use histories and climate trends, which together control the carbon budget of its ecosystems. Here we analyse the current terrestrial carbon balance of China and its driving mechanisms during the 1980s and 1990s using three different methods: biomass and soil carbon inventories extrapolated by satellite greenness measurements, ecosystem models and atmospheric inversions. The three methods produce similar estimates of a net carbon sink in the range of 0.19-0.26 Pg carbon (PgC) per year, which is smaller than that in the conterminous United States but comparable to that in geographic Europe. We find that northeast China is a net source of CO(2) to the atmosphere owing to overharvesting and degradation of forests. By contrast, southern China accounts for more than 65 per cent of the carbon sink, which can be attributed to regional climate change, large-scale plantation programmes active since the 1980s and shrub recovery. Shrub recovery is identified as the most uncertain factor contributing to the carbon sink. Our data and model results together indicate that China's terrestrial ecosystems absorbed 28-37 per cent of its cumulated fossil carbon emissions during the 1980s and 1990s.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Piao, Shilong -- Fang, Jingyun -- Ciais, Philippe -- Peylin, Philippe -- Huang, Yao -- Sitch, Stephen -- Wang, Tao -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 23;458(7241):1009-13. doi: 10.1038/nature07944.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology, College of Urban and Environmental Science, and Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China. slpiao@pku.edu.cn〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19396142" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Is REST required for ESC pluripotency? (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-02-27
    Description: The DNA-binding protein REST (also called NRSF) is a transcriptional repressor that targets many neuronal genes and is abundant in human and mouse pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In a recent Letter to Nature, Singh et al. suggested that REST controls the self-renewal and pluripotency of ESCs, because they found that ESCs in which a single REST allele was disrupted (Fig. 1a, beta-geo-stop insertion) had reduced alkaline phosphatase activity and expressed lower levels of several pluripotency-associated genes. Here we show that partial or complete loss of functional REST protein does not abrogate ESC potential as reflected by marker gene expression. These data are consistent with earlier reports, and argue that REST is not required for maintaining ESC pluripotency.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jorgensen, Helle F -- Chen, Zhou-Feng -- Merkenschlager, Matthias -- Fisher, Amanda G -- MC_U120027516/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2009 Feb 26;457(7233):E4-5; discussion E7. doi: 10.1038/nature07783.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Lymphocyte Development Group, MRC Clinical Sciences Centre, Imperial College School of Medicine, Hammersmith Hospital Campus, Du Cane Road, London, W12 0NN, UK. helle.jorgensen@imperial.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19242417" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A burst of segmental duplications in the genome of the African great ape ancestor (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-02-13
    Description: It is generally accepted that the extent of phenotypic change between human and great apes is dissonant with the rate of molecular change. Between these two groups, proteins are virtually identical, cytogenetically there are few rearrangements that distinguish ape-human chromosomes, and rates of single-base-pair change and retrotransposon activity have slowed particularly within hominid lineages when compared to rodents or monkeys. Studies of gene family evolution indicate that gene loss and gain are enriched within the primate lineage. Here, we perform a systematic analysis of duplication content of four primate genomes (macaque, orang-utan, chimpanzee and human) in an effort to understand the pattern and rates of genomic duplication during hominid evolution. We find that the ancestral branch leading to human and African great apes shows the most significant increase in duplication activity both in terms of base pairs and in terms of events. This duplication acceleration within the ancestral species is significant when compared to lineage-specific rate estimates even after accounting for copy-number polymorphism and homoplasy. We discover striking examples of recurrent and independent gene-containing duplications within the gorilla and chimpanzee that are absent in the human lineage. Our results suggest that the evolutionary properties of copy-number mutation differ significantly from other forms of genetic mutation and, in contrast to the hominid slowdown of single-base-pair mutations, there has been a genomic burst of duplication activity at this period during human evolution.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2751663/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2751663/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Marques-Bonet, Tomas -- Kidd, Jeffrey M -- Ventura, Mario -- Graves, Tina A -- Cheng, Ze -- Hillier, LaDeana W -- Jiang, Zhaoshi -- Baker, Carl -- Malfavon-Borja, Ray -- Fulton, Lucinda A -- Alkan, Can -- Aksay, Gozde -- Girirajan, Santhosh -- Siswara, Priscillia -- Chen, Lin -- Cardone, Maria Francesca -- Navarro, Arcadi -- Mardis, Elaine R -- Wilson, Richard K -- Eichler, Evan E -- HG002385/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- P51-RR013986/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002385/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG002385-08/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003079/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003079-06/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Feb 12;457(7231):877-81. doi: 10.1038/nature07744.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19212409" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Plankton use solar energy to drive the nutrient cycles that make the planet habitable for larger organisms. We can now explore the diversity and functions of plankton using genomics, revealing the gene repertoires associated with survival in the oceans. Such studies will help us to appreciate the sensitivity of ocean systems and of the ocean's response to climate change, improving the predictive power of climate models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bowler, Chris -- Karl, David M -- Colwell, Rita R -- 1R01A139129-01/PHS HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 14;459(7244):180-4. doi: 10.1038/nature08056.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉CNRS UMR8186, Department of Biology, Ecole Normale Superieure, 46 rue d'Ulm, Paris, France. cbowler@biologie.ens.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19444203" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Autism genome-wide copy number variation reveals ubiquitin and neuronal genes (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-01
    Description: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are childhood neurodevelopmental disorders with complex genetic origins. Previous studies focusing on candidate genes or genomic regions have identified several copy number variations (CNVs) that are associated with an increased risk of ASDs. Here we present the results from a whole-genome CNV study on a cohort of 859 ASD cases and 1,409 healthy children of European ancestry who were genotyped with approximately 550,000 single nucleotide polymorphism markers, in an attempt to comprehensively identify CNVs conferring susceptibility to ASDs. Positive findings were evaluated in an independent cohort of 1,336 ASD cases and 1,110 controls of European ancestry. Besides previously reported ASD candidate genes, such as NRXN1 (ref. 10) and CNTN4 (refs 11, 12), several new susceptibility genes encoding neuronal cell-adhesion molecules, including NLGN1 and ASTN2, were enriched with CNVs in ASD cases compared to controls (P = 9.5 x 10(-3)). Furthermore, CNVs within or surrounding genes involved in the ubiquitin pathways, including UBE3A, PARK2, RFWD2 and FBXO40, were affected by CNVs not observed in controls (P = 3.3 x 10(-3)). We also identified duplications 55 kilobases upstream of complementary DNA AK123120 (P = 3.6 x 10(-6)). Although these variants may be individually rare, they target genes involved in neuronal cell-adhesion or ubiquitin degradation, indicating that these two important gene networks expressed within the central nervous system may contribute to the genetic susceptibility of ASD.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2925224/" target="_blank"〉〈img

    Type II fatty acid synthesis is not a suitable antibiotic target for Gram-positive pathogens (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-03-06
    Description: Antimicrobial drugs targeting the reportedly essential type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) pathway have been recently acclaimed for their efficacy against infections caused by multiresistant Gram-positive bacteria. Our findings show that the strategy for antibiotic development based on FASII pathway targets is fundamentally flawed by the fact that exogenous fatty acids fully bypass inhibition of this pathway in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. We demonstrate that major Gram-positive pathogens-such as streptococci, pneumococci, enterococci and staphylococci-overcome drug-induced FASII pathway inhibition when supplied with exogenous fatty acids, and human serum proves to be a highly effective source of fatty acids. For opportunist pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae, growth in serum leads to an overall decrease of FASII gene expression. No antibiotic inhibitor could have a stronger effect than the inactivation of the target gene, so we challenged the role of FASII using deletion mutants. Our results unequivocally show that the FASII target enzymes are dispensable in vivo during S. agalactiae infection. The results of this study largely compromise the use of FASII-based antimicrobials for treating sepsis caused by Gram-positive pathogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brinster, Sophie -- Lamberet, Gilles -- Staels, Bart -- Trieu-Cuot, Patrick -- Gruss, Alexandra -- Poyart, Claire -- England -- Nature. 2009 Mar 5;458(7234):83-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07772.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut Cochin, Universite Paris Descartes, CNRS (UMR 8104), Paris, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19262672" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Light limitation of nutrient-poor lake ecosystems (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-07-25
    Description: Productivity denotes the rate of biomass synthesis in ecosystems and is a fundamental characteristic that frames ecosystem function and management. Limitation of productivity by nutrient availability is an established paradigm for lake ecosystems. Here, we assess the relevance of this paradigm for a majority of the world's small, nutrient-poor lakes, with different concentrations of coloured organic matter. By comparing small unproductive lakes along a water colour gradient, we show that coloured terrestrial organic matter controls the key process for new biomass synthesis (the benthic primary production) through its effects on light attenuation. We also show that this translates into effects on production and biomass of higher trophic levels (benthic invertebrates and fish). These results are inconsistent with the idea that nutrient supply primarily controls lake productivity, and we propose that a large share of the world's unproductive lakes, within natural variations of organic carbon and nutrient input, are limited by light and not by nutrients. We anticipate that our result will have implications for understanding lake ecosystem function and responses to environmental change. Catchment export of coloured organic matter is sensitive to short-term natural variability and long-term, large-scale changes, driven by climate and different anthropogenic influences. Consequently, changes in terrestrial carbon cycling will have pronounced effects on most lake ecosystems by mediating changes in light climate and productivity of lakes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karlsson, Jan -- Bystrom, Par -- Ask, Jenny -- Ask, Per -- Persson, Lennart -- Jansson, Mats -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jul 23;460(7254):506-9. doi: 10.1038/nature08179.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Climate Impacts Research Centre, Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, Umea University, Box 62, SE-981 07 Abisko, Sweden.
