A locally funded Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata) genome sequencing project increases avian data and advances young researcher education

A locally funded Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata) genome sequencing project increases avian data and advances young researcher education Oleksyk, Taras K.; Pombert, Jean-Francois; Siu, Daniel; Mazo-Vargas, Anyimilehidi; Ramos, Brian; Guiblet, Wilfried; Afanador, Yashira; Ruiz-Rodriguez, Christina T.; Nickerson, Michael L.; Logue, David M.; Dean, Michael; Figueroa, Luis; Valentin, Ricardo; Martinez-Cruzado, Juan-Carlos Background: Amazona vittata is a critically endangered Puerto Rican endemic bird, the only surviving native parrot species in the United States territory, and the first parrot in the large Neotropical genus Amazona, to be studied on a genomic scale. Findings: In a unique community-based funded project, DNA from an A. vittata female was sequenced using a HiSeq Illumina platform, resulting in a total of ~42.5 billion nucleotide bases. This provided approximately 26.89x average coverage depth at the completion of this funding phase. Filtering followed by assembly resulted in 259,423 contigs (N50=6,983 bp, longest=75,003 bp), which was further scaffolded into 148,255 fragments (N50=19,470, longest=206,462 bp). This provided ~76% coverage of the genome based on an estimated size of 1.58 Gb. The assembled scaffolds allowed basic genomic annotation and comparative analyses with other available avian whole-genome sequences. Conclusions: The current data represents the first genomic information from and work carried out with a unique source of funding. This analysis further provides a means for directed training of young researchers in genetic and bioinformatics analyses and will facilitate progress towards a full assembly and annotation of the Puerto Rican parrot genome. It also adds extensive genomic data to a new branch of the avian tree, making it useful for comparative analyses with other avian species. Ultimately, the knowledge acquired from these data will contribute to an improved understanding of the overall population health of this species and aid in ongoing and future conservation efforts.

Service Worker gotchas

Service Worker has already been here for a while: since 2015-09 it has been fully supported in Chrome/Opera and if compared to what we have today it has gone a promising way of improvements, bug fixes, became more easily debuggable and is supported much widely (hello Firefox). That led us into using the technology in production and implementing it in our kollegorna.se website, as well as some client projects. We’ve learned there quite a few gotchas to grasp in order to get Service Worker working correctly

Here is the list of what I overviewed in the article:

Service Worker for Middleman based websites

Middleman is a Ruby based static site generator which we use heavily at Kollegorna both for prototyping (checkout our Middleman boilerplate) and production sites. In my previous article on Service Worker, I overviewed the most common challenges you may face when implementing the technology. This time I’d like to dive into a single specific topic of enabling a worker on Middleman based website as there are a few things to deal with…

Highly Z-selective synthesis of 1,3-oxathiol-2-ylidenes and 4-methylene-oxazolidine-2-thiones via atom-specific 5-exo-dig cyclization of propargyl alcohol with isothiocyanate

S. Antony Savarimuthu, D. G. Leo Prakash, S. Augustine Thomas, Thirumanavelan Gandhi, Mrinal K. Bera
The Z-selectivity observed in imine and alkene motifs after 5-exo-dig cyclization of propargyl alcohol and isothiocyanate is rare in the literature and this selectivity can be attributed to electronic and steric factors of the imine and alkene motif respectively.
