However, the mechanisms immune\r\ncells utilize to collectively migrate through tissue barriers in vivo are not yet well understood.\r\nIn this thesis, I describe two mechanisms that Drosophila immune cells (hemocytes) use to\r\novercome the tissue barrier of the germband in the embryo. One strategy is the strengthening\r\nof the actin cortex through developmentally controlled transcriptional regulation induced by\r\nthe Drosophila proto-oncogene family member Dfos, which I show in Chapter 2. Dfos induces\r\nexpression of the tetraspanin TM4SF and the filamin Cher leading to higher levels of the\r\nactivated formin Dia at the cortex and increased cortical F-actin. This enhanced cortical\r\nstrength allows hemocytes to overcome the physical resistance of the surrounding tissue and\r\ntranslocate their nucleus to move forward. This mechanism affects the speed of migration\r\nwhen hemocytes face a confined environment in vivo.\r\nAnother aspect of the invasion process is the initial step of the leading hemocytes entering\r\nthe tissue, which potentially guides the follower cells. In Chapter 3, I describe a novel\r\nsubpopulation of hemocytes activated by BMP signaling prior to tissue invasion that leads\r\npenetration into the germband. Hemocytes that are deficient in BMP signaling activation\r\nshow impaired persistence at the tissue entry, while their migration speed remains\r\nunaffected.\r\nThis suggests that there might be different mechanisms controlling immune cell migration\r\nwithin the confined environment in vivo, one of these being the general ability to overcome\r\nthe resistance of the surrounding tissue and another affecting the order of hemocytes that\r\ncollectively invade the tissue in a stream of individual cells.\r\nTogether, my findings provide deeper insights into transcriptional changes in immune\r\ncells that enable efficient tissue invasion and pave the way for future studies investigating the\r\nearly colonization of tissues by macrophages in higher organisms. Moreover, they extend the\r\ncurrent view of Drosophila immune cell heterogeneity and point toward a potentially\r\nconserved role for canonical BMP signaling in specifying immune cells that lead the migration\r\nof tissue resident macrophages during embryogenesis." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Stephanie full_name: Wachner, Stephanie id: 2A95E7B0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wachner citation: ama: Wachner S.

Strategies to \r\ncharacterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which \r\npreclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenotypes. \r\nHere, we develop MorphOMICs, a topological data analysis approach, which enables semi\x02automatic mapping of microglial morphology into an atlas of cue-dependent phenotypes,\r\novercomes feature-selection bias and minimizes biological variability. \r\nFirst, with MorphOMICs we derive the morphological spectrum of microglia across seven \r\nbrain regions during postnatal development and in two distinct Alzheimer’s disease \r\ndegeneration mouse models. We uncover region-specific and sexually dimorphic\r\nmorphological trajectories, with females showing an earlier morphological shift than males in \r\nthe degenerating brain. Overall, we demonstrate that both long primary- and short terminal \r\nprocesses provide distinct insights to morphological phenotypes. Moreover, using machine \r\nlearning to map novel condition on the spectrum, we observe that microglia morphologies \r\nreflect a dose-dependent adaptation upon ketamine anesthesia and do not recover to control \r\nmorphologies.\r\nNext, we took advantage of MorphOMICs to build a high-resolution and layer-specific map of \r\nmicroglial morphological spectrum in the retina, covering postnatal development and rd10 \r\ndegeneration. Here, following photoreceptor death, microglia assume an early development\x02like morphology. Finally, we map microglial morphology following optic nerve crush on the \r\nretinal spectrum and observe a layer- and sex-dependent response. \r\nOverall, MorphOMICs opens a new perspective to analyze microglial morphology across \r\nmultiple conditions, and provides a novel tool to characterize microglial morphology beyond \r\nthe traditionally dichotomized view of microglia." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio - _id: ScienComp alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Gloria full_name: Colombo, Gloria id: 3483CF6C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Colombo orcid: 0000-0001-9434-8902 citation: ama: Colombo G.

Here, we show that the actin cortex of leukocytes is mechanoresponsive and that this responsiveness requires neither force sensing via the nucleus nor adhesive interactions with a substrate. Upon global compression of the cell body as well as local indentation of the plasma membrane, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) assembles into dot-like structures, providing activation platforms for Arp2/3 nucleated actin patches. These patches locally push against the external load, which can be obstructing collagen fibers or other cells, and thereby create space to facilitate forward locomotion. We show in vitro and in vivo that this WASp function is rate limiting for ameboid leukocyte migration in dense but not in loose environments and is required for trafficking through diverse tissues such as skin and lymph nodes.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio - _id: EM-Fac acknowledgement: We thank N.

It is unclear, which factors contribute to this step.\r\nRecent studies indicate a crucial role of the tumor microenvironment in malignant\r\ntransformation and metastasis. Studying cancer cell invasion and detachments quantitatively in\r\nthe context of its physiological microenvironment is technically challenging. Especially, precise\r\ncontrol of microenvironmental properties in vivo is currently not possible. Here, I studied the\r\nrole of microenvironment geometry in the invasion and detachment of cancer cells from the\r\nbulk with a simplistic and reductionist approach. In this approach, I engineered microfluidic\r\ndevices to mimic a pseudo 3D extracellular matrix environment, where I was able to\r\nquantitatively tune the geometrical configuration of the microenvironment and follow tumor\r\ncells with fluorescence live imaging. To aid quantitative analysis I developed a widely applicable\r\nsoftware application to automatically analyze and visualize particle tracking data.\r\nQuantitative analysis of tumor cell invasion in isotropic and anisotropic microenvironments\r\nshowed that heterogeneity in the microenvironment promotes faster invasion and more\r\nfrequent detachment of cells. These observations correlated with overall higher speed of cells at\r\nthe edge of the bulk of the cells. In heterogeneous microenvironments cells preferentially\r\npassed through larger pores, thus invading areas of least resistance and generating finger-like\r\ninvasive structures. The detachments occurred mostly at the tips of these structures.\r\nTo investigate the potential mechanism, we established a two dimensional model to simulate\r\nactive Brownian particles representing the cell nuclei dynamics. These simulations backed our in\r\nvitro observations without the need of precise fitting the simulation parameters. Our model\r\nsuggests the importance of the pore heterogeneity in the direction perpendicular to the\r\norientation of bias field (lateral heterogeneity), which causes the interface roughening." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Saren full_name: Tasciyan, Saren id: 4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tasciyan orcid: 0000-0003-1671-393X citation: ama: Tasciyan S.

This process can be divided into two phases: an early phase, in which sites of endocytosis are formed, and a late phase in which clathrin-coated vesicles are formed and internalized into the cytosol, but how these phases link to each other remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that anchoring the yeast Eps15-like protein Pan1p to the peroxisome triggers most of the events occurring during the late phase at the peroxisome. At this ectopic location, Pan1p recruits most proteins that function in the late phases—including actin nucleation promoting factors—and then initiates actin polymerization. Pan1p also recruited Prk1 kinase and actin depolymerizing factors, thereby triggering disassembly immediately after actin assembly and inducing dissociation of endocytic proteins from the peroxisome. These observations suggest that Pan1p is a key regulator for initiating, processing, and completing the late phase of endocytosis.' acknowledgement: 'This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI GRANT #18K062291, and the Takeda Science Foundation to J.Y.

Although they are known to have ZW chromosomes, these are not well characterized, and it is unclear whether they are shared across the clade. Furthermore, the underlying genetic architecture of the transmission of asexuality, which can occur when rare males mate with closely related sexual females, is not well understood. We produced a chromosome-level assembly for the sexual Eurasian species A. sinica and characterized in detail the pair of sex chromosomes of this species. We combined this new assembly with short-read genomic data for the sexual species A. sp. Kazakhstan and several asexual lineages of A. parthenogenetica, allowing us to perform an in-depth characterization of sex-chromosome evolution across the genus. We identified a small differentiated region of the ZW pair that is shared by all sexual and asexual lineages, supporting the shared ancestry of the sex chromosomes. We also inferred that recombination suppression has spread to larger sections of the chromosome independently in the American and Eurasian lineages. Finally, we took advantage of a rare male, which we backcrossed to sexual females, to explore the genetic basis of asexuality. Our results suggest that parthenogenesis is likely partly controlled by a locus on the Z chromosome, highlighting the interplay between sex determination and asexuality. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Marwan N full_name: Elkrewi, Marwan N id: 0B46FACA-A8E1-11E9-9BD3-79D1E5697425 last_name: Elkrewi orcid: 0000-0002-5328-7231 citation: ama: Elkrewi MN.

In this work, we take a mean-field view, and consider a two-layer ReLU network trained via noisy-SGD for a univariate regularized regression problem. Our main result is that SGD with vanishingly small noise injected in the gradients is biased towards a simple solution: at convergence, the ReLU network implements a piecewise linear map of the inputs, and the number of “knot” points -- i.e., points where the tangent of the ReLU network estimator changes -- between two consecutive training inputs is at most three. In particular, as the number of neurons of the network grows, the SGD dynamics is captured by the solution of a gradient flow and, at convergence, the distribution of the weights approaches the unique minimizer of a related free energy, which has a Gibbs form. Our key technical contribution consists in the analysis of the estimator resulting from this minimizer: we show that its second derivative vanishes everywhere, except at some specific locations which represent the “knot” points. We also provide empirical evidence that knots at locations distinct from the data points might occur, as predicted by our theory.' acknowledgement: "We would like to thank Mert Pilanci for several exploratory discussions in the early stage\r\nof the project, Jan Maas for clarifications about Jordan et al.

In mammals, the hippocampus\r\nis a brain region essential to the acquisition and consolidation of new memories. It is also\r\ninvolved in keeping track of one’s position in space and aids navigation. Although this\r\nspace-memory has been a source of contradiction, evidence supports the view that the role of\r\nthe hippocampus in navigation is memory, thanks to the formation of cognitive maps. First\r\nintroduced by Tolman in 1948, cognitive maps are generally used to organize experiences in\r\nmemory; however, the detailed mechanisms by which these maps are formed and stored are not\r\nyet agreed upon. Some influential theories describe this process as involving three fundamental\r\nsteps: initial encoding by the hippocampus, interactions between the hippocampus and other\r\ncortical areas, and long-term extra-hippocampal consolidation. In this thesis, I will show how\r\nthe investigation of cognitive maps of space helped to shed light on each of these three memory\r\nprocesses.\r\nThe first study included in this thesis deals with the initial encoding of spatial memories in\r\nthe hippocampus. Much is known about encoding at the level of single cells, but less about\r\ntheir co-activity or joint contribution to the encoding of novel spatial information. I will\r\ndescribe the structure of an interaction network that allows for efficient encoding of noisy\r\nspatial information during the first exploration of a novel environment.\r\nThe second study describes the interactions between the hippocampus and the prefrontal\r\ncortex (PFC), two areas directly and indirectly connected. It is known that the PFC, in concert\r\nwith the hippocampus, is involved in various processes, including memory storage and spatial\r\nnavigation. Nonetheless, the detailed mechanisms by which PFC receives information from the\r\nhippocampus are not clear. I will show how a transient improvement in theta phase locking of\r\nPFC cells enables interactions of cell pairs across the two regions.\r\nThe third study describes the learning of behaviorally-relevant spatial locations in the hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex. I will show how the accumulation of firing around\r\ngoal locations, a correlate of learning, can shed light on the transition from short- to long-term\r\nspatial memories and the speed of consolidation in different brain areas.\r\nThe studies included in this thesis represent the main scientific contributions of my Ph.D. They\r\ninvolve statistical analyses and models of neural responses of cells in different brain areas of\r\nrats executing spatial tasks. I will conclude the thesis by discussing the impact of the findings\r\non principles of memory formation and retention, including the mechanisms, the speed, and\r\nthe duration of these processes." acknowledgement: I acknowledge the support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 665385. alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Michele full_name: Nardin, Michele id: 30BD0376-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nardin orcid: 0000-0001-8849-6570 citation: ama: Nardin M.

A general-purpose interface that can make use of single photon effects requires < 1 input noise quanta, which has remained elusive due to either low efficiency or pump induced heating. Here we demonstrate coherent electro-optic modulation on nanosecond-timescales with only 0.16+0.02−0.01 microwave input noise photons with a total bidirectional transduction efficiency of 8.7% (or up to 15% with 0.41+0.02−0.02), as required for near-term heralded quantum network protocols. The use of short and high-power optical pump pulses also enables near-unity cooperativity of the electro-optic interaction leading to an internal pure conversion efficiency of up to 99.5%. Together with the low mode occupancy this provides evidence for electro-optic laser cooling and vacuum amplification as predicted a decade ago. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop acknowledgement: "The authors thank S.

Even though pathogens should thrive in social insect colonies as the hosts engage in frequent social interactions, are closely related and live in a pathogen-rich environment, disease outbreaks are rare. This is because social insects have evolved mechanisms to keep pathogens at bay – and fight disease as a collective. Social insect colonies are often viewed as “superorganisms” with division of labor between reproductive “germ-like” queens and males and “somatic” workers, which together form an interdependent reproductive unit that parallels a multicellular body. Superorganisms possess a “social immune system” that comprises of collective disease defenses performed by the workers - summarized as “social immunity”. In social groups immunization (reduced susceptibility to a parasite upon secondary exposure to the same parasite) can e.g. be triggered by social interactions (“social immunization”). Social immunization can be caused by (i) asymptomatic low-level infections that are acquired during caregiving to a contagious individual that can give an immune boost, which can induce protection upon later encounter with the same pathogen (active immunization) or (ii) by transfer of immune effectors between individuals (passive immunization).\r\nIn the second chapter, I built up on a study that I co-authored that found that low-level infections can not only be protective, but also be costly and make the host more susceptible to detrimental superinfections after contact to a very dissimilar pathogen. I here now tested different degrees of phylogenetically-distant fungal strains of M. brunneum and M. robertsii in L. neglectus and can describe the occurrence of cross-protection of social immunization if the first and second pathogen are from the same level. Interestingly, low-level infections only provided protection when the first strain was less virulent than the second strain and elicited higher immune gene expression.\r\nIn the third and fourth chapters, I expanded on the role of social immunity in sexual selection, a so far unstudied field. I used the fungus Metarhizium robertsii and the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior as a model, as in this species mating occurs in the presence of workers and can be studied under laboratory conditions. Before males mate with virgin queens in the nest they engage in fierce combat over the access to their mating partners.\r\nFirst, I focused on male-male competition in the third chapter and found that fighting with a contagious male is costly as it can lead to contamination of the rival, but that workers can decrease the risk of disease contraction by performing sanitary care.\r\nIn the fourth chapter, I studied the effect of fungal infection on survival and mating success of sexuals (freshly emerged queens and males) and found that worker-performed sanitary care can buffer the negative effect that a pathogenic contagion would have on sexuals by spore removal from the exposed individuals. When social immunity was prevented and queens could contract spores from their mating partner, very low dosages led to negative consequences: their lifespan was reduced and they produced fewer offspring with poor immunocompetence compared to healthy queens. Interestingly, cohabitation with a late-stage infected male where no spore transfer was possible had a positive effect on offspring immunity – male offspring of mothers that apparently perceived an infected partner in their vicinity reacted more sensitively to fungal challenge than male offspring without paternal pathogen history." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sina full_name: Metzler, Sina id: 48204546-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Metzler orcid: 0000-0002-9547-2494 citation: ama: Metzler S.

The study of the relations between these datasets and their sequence similarity analysis is of interest to many applications such as health monitoring and recommender systems. However, entering all movement parameters and health signals can lead to the complexity of the problem and an increase in its computational load. In this situation, dimension reduction techniques can be used to avoid consideration of simultaneous dependent parameters in the process of similarity measurement of the trajectories. The present study provides a framework, named CaDRAW, to use spatial–temporal data and movement parameters along with independent context information in the process of measuring the similarity of trajectories. In this regard, the omission of dependent movement characteristic signals is conducted by using an unsupervised feature selection dimension reduction technique. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, it was applied to a real contextualized movement and related health signal datasets of individuals. The results indicated the capability of the proposed framework in measuring the similarity and in decreasing the characteristic signals in such a way that the similarity results -before and after reduction of dependent characteristic signals- have small differences. The mean differences between the obtained results before and after reducing the dimension were 0.029 and 0.023 for the round path, respectively. acknowledgement: The third author acknowledges the funding received from the Wittgenstein Prize, Austrian Science Fund (FWF), grant no.

For understanding how the network is structured, processes information, and changes over time, comprehensive visualization of the architecture of living brain tissue with its cellular and molecular components would open up major opportunities. However, electron microscopy (EM) provides nanometre-scale resolution required for full in-silico reconstruction1–5, yet is limited to fixed specimens and static representations. Light microscopy allows live observation, with super-resolution approaches6–12 facilitating nanoscale visualization, but comprehensive 3D-reconstruction of living brain tissue has been hindered by tissue photo-burden, photobleaching, insufficient 3D-resolution, and inadequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here we demonstrate saturated reconstruction of living brain tissue. We developed an integrated imaging and analysis technology, adapting stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy6,13 in extracellularly labelled tissue14 for high SNR and near-isotropic resolution. Centrally, a two-stage deep-learning approach leveraged previously obtained information on sample structure to drastically reduce photo-burden and enable automated volumetric reconstruction down to single synapse level. Live reconstruction provides unbiased analysis of tissue architecture across time in relation to functional activity and targeted activation, and contextual understanding of molecular labelling. This adoptable technology will facilitate novel insights into the dynamic functional architecture of living brain tissue. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Eder full_name: Miguel Villalba, Eder id: 3FB91342-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Miguel Villalba orcid: 0000-0001-5665-0430 - first_name: Julia M full_name: Michalska, Julia M id: 443DB6DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Michalska orcid: 0000-0003-3862-1235 - first_name: Donglai full_name: Wei, Donglai last_name: Wei - first_name: Zudi full_name: Lin, Zudi last_name: Lin - first_name: Jake full_name: Watson, Jake id: 63836096-4690-11EA-BD4E-32803DDC885E last_name: Watson orcid: 0000-0002-8698-3823 - first_name: Jakob full_name: Troidl, Jakob last_name: Troidl - first_name: Johanna full_name: Beyer, Johanna last_name: Beyer - first_name: Yoav full_name: Ben Simon, Yoav id: 43DF3136-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ben Simon - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Wiebke full_name: Jahr, Wiebke id: 425C1CE8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jahr orcid: 0000-0003-0201-2315 - first_name: Alban full_name: Cenameri, Alban id: 9ac8f577-2357-11eb-997a-e566c5550886 last_name: Cenameri - first_name: Johannes full_name: Broichhagen, Johannes last_name: Broichhagen - first_name: Seth G.

Super-resolution optical microscopy excels at visualizing specific molecules and individual cells but fails to provide tissue context. Here we developed Comprehensive Analysis of Tissues across Scales (CATS), a technology to densely map brain tissue architecture from millimeter regional to nanoscopic synaptic scales in diverse chemically fixed brain preparations, including rodent and human. CATS leverages fixation-compatible extracellular labeling and advanced optical readout, in particular stimulated-emission depletion and expansion microscopy, to comprehensively delineate cellular structures. It enables 3D-reconstructing single synapses and mapping synaptic connectivity by identification and tailored analysis of putative synaptic cleft regions. Applying CATS to the hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry, we demonstrate its power to reveal the system’s molecularly informed ultrastructure across spatial scales and assess local connectivity by reconstructing and quantifying the synaptic input and output structure of identified neurons. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Julia M full_name: Michalska, Julia M id: 443DB6DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Michalska orcid: 0000-0003-3862-1235 - first_name: Julia full_name: Lyudchik, Julia id: 46E28B80-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lyudchik - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Hana full_name: Korinkova, Hana id: ee3cb6ca-ec98-11ea-ae11-ff703e2254ed last_name: Korinkova - first_name: Jake full_name: Watson, Jake id: 63836096-4690-11EA-BD4E-32803DDC885E last_name: Watson orcid: 0000-0002-8698-3823 - first_name: Alban full_name: Cenameri, Alban id: 9ac8f577-2357-11eb-997a-e566c5550886 last_name: Cenameri - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Alessandro full_name: Venturino, Alessandro id: 41CB84B2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Venturino orcid: 0000-0003-2356-9403 - first_name: Karl full_name: Roessler, Karl last_name: Roessler - first_name: Thomas full_name: Czech, Thomas last_name: Czech - first_name: Sandra full_name: Siegert, Sandra id: 36ACD32E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Siegert orcid: 0000-0001-8635-0877 - first_name: Gaia full_name: Novarino, Gaia id: 3E57A680-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novarino orcid: 0000-0002-7673-7178 - first_name: Peter M full_name: Jonas, Peter M id: 353C1B58-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jonas orcid: 0000-0001-5001-4804 - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 citation: ama: Michalska JM, Lyudchik J, Velicky P, et al.

The quantum hardware is used to implement a variational wave function and measure observables, whereas the classical computer is used to store and update the variational parameters. The optimization landscape of expressive variational ansätze is however dominated by large regions in parameter space, known as barren plateaus, with vanishing gradients, which prevents efficient optimization. In this work we propose a general algorithm to avoid barren plateaus in the initialization and throughout the optimization. To this end we define a notion of weak barren plateaus (WBPs) based on the entropies of local reduced density matrices. The presence of WBPs can be efficiently quantified using recently introduced shadow tomography of the quantum state with a classical computer. We demonstrate that avoidance of WBPs suffices to ensure sizable gradients in the initialization. In addition, we demonstrate that decreasing the gradient step size, guided by the entropies allows WBPs to be avoided during the optimization process. This paves the way for efficient barren plateau-free optimization on near-term devices.

Although they are known to have ZW chromosomes, these are not well characterized, and it is unclear whether they are shared across the clade. Furthermore, the underlying genetic architecture of the transmission of asexuality, which can occur when rare males mate with closely related sexual females, is not well understood. We produced a chromosome-level assembly for the sexual Eurasian species Artemia sinica and characterized in detail the pair of sex chromosomes of this species. We combined this new assembly with short-read genomic data for the sexual species Artemia sp. Kazakhstan and several asexual lineages of Artemia parthenogenetica, allowing us to perform an in-depth characterization of sex-chromosome evolution across the genus. We identified a small differentiated region of the ZW pair that is shared by all sexual and asexual lineages, supporting the shared ancestry of the sex chromosomes. We also inferred that recombination suppression has spread to larger sections of the chromosome independently in the American and Eurasian lineages. Finally, we took advantage of a rare male, which we backcrossed to sexual females, to explore the genetic basis of asexuality. Our results suggest that parthenogenesis is likely partly controlled by a locus on the Z chromosome, highlighting the interplay between sex determination and asexuality. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement no. 715257) and by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF SFB F88-10).\r\nWe thank the Vicoso group for comments on the manuscript and the ISTA Scientific computing team and the Vienna Biocenter Sequencing facility for technical support." article_number: iyac123 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Marwan N full_name: Elkrewi, Marwan N id: 0B46FACA-A8E1-11E9-9BD3-79D1E5697425 last_name: Elkrewi orcid: 0000-0002-5328-7231 - first_name: Uladzislava full_name: Khauratovich, Uladzislava id: 5eba06f4-97d8-11ed-9f8f-d826ebdd9434 last_name: Khauratovich - first_name: Melissa A full_name: Toups, Melissa A id: 4E099E4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Toups orcid: 0000-0002-9752-7380 - first_name: Vincent K full_name: Bett, Vincent K id: 57854184-AAE0-11E9-8D04-98D6E5697425 last_name: Bett - first_name: Andrea full_name: Mrnjavac, Andrea id: 353FAC84-AE61-11E9-8BFC-00D3E5697425 last_name: Mrnjavac - first_name: Ariana full_name: Macon, Ariana id: 2A0848E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Macon - first_name: Christelle full_name: Fraisse, Christelle id: 32DF5794-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fraisse orcid: 0000-0001-8441-5075 - first_name: Luca full_name: Sax, Luca id: 701c5602-97d8-11ed-96b5-b52773c70189 last_name: Sax - first_name: Ann K full_name: Huylmans, Ann K id: 4C0A3874-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Huylmans orcid: 0000-0001-8871-4961 - first_name: Francisco full_name: Hontoria, Francisco last_name: Hontoria - first_name: Beatriz full_name: Vicoso, Beatriz id: 49E1C5C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vicoso orcid: 0000-0002-4579-8306 citation: ama: Elkrewi MN, Khauratovich U, Toups MA, et al.

A largely non-recombining variant of the proximal region of chromosome 17, it is transmitted to more than 90% of the progeny of heterozygous males through the disabling of sperm carrying a standard chromosome. While extensive genetic and functional work has shed light on individual genes involved in drive, much less is known about the evolution and function of the rest of its hundreds of genes. Here, we characterize the sequence and expression of dozens of t-specific transcripts and of their chromosome 17 homologues. Many genes showed reduced expression of the t-allele, but an equal number of genes showed increased expression of their t-copy, consistent with increased activity or a newly evolved function. Genes on the t-haplotype had a significantly higher non-synonymous substitution rate than their homologues on the standard chromosome, with several genes harbouring dN/dS ratios above 1. Finally, the t-haplotype has acquired at least two genes from other chromosomes, which show high and tissue-specific expression. These results provide a first overview of the gene content of this selfish element, and support a more dynamic evolutionary scenario than expected of a large genomic region with almost no recombination. acknowledgement: "This project has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement no. 715257) and from the Swiss National Science Foundation (grant no. 310030_189145).\r\nWe thank Jari Garbely of the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland, for conducting the PCR verification.

WRC is crucial for Arp2/3 complex activation and the protrusion of branched actin filament networks. Moreover, Hem1 loss of function in immune cells causes autoimmune diseases in humans. Here, we show that genetic removal of Hem1 in macrophages diminishes frequency and efficacy of phagocytosis as well as phagocytic cup formation in addition to defects in lamellipodial protrusion and migration. Moreover, Hem1-null macrophages displayed strong defects in cell adhesion despite unaltered podosome formation and concomitant extracellular matrix degradation. Specifically, dynamics of both adhesion and de-adhesion as well as concomitant phosphorylation of paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were significantly compromised. Accordingly, disruption of WRC function in non-hematopoietic cells coincided with both defects in adhesion turnover and altered FAK and paxillin phosphorylation. Consistently, platelets exhibited reduced adhesion and diminished integrin αIIbβ3 activation upon WRC removal. Interestingly, adhesion phenotypes, but not lamellipodia formation, were partially rescued by small molecule activation of FAK. A full rescue of the phenotype, including lamellipodia formation, required not only the presence of WRCs but also their binding to and activation by Rac. Collectively, our results uncover that WRC impacts on integrin-dependent processes in a FAK-dependent manner, controlling formation and dismantling of adhesions, relevant for properly grabbing onto extracellular surfaces and particles during cell edge expansion, like in migration or phagocytosis. acknowledgement: We are grateful to Silvia Prettin, Ina Schleicher, and Petra Hagendorff for expert technical assistance; David Dettbarn for animal keeping and breeding; and Lothar Gröbe and Maria Höxter for cell sorting.
