These disorders show a high degree\r\nof heritability and hundreds of risk genes have been identifed using high throughput\r\nsequencing technologies. This genetic heterogeneity has hampered eforts in understanding\r\nthe pathogenesis of ASD but at the same time given rise to the concept of convergent\r\nmechanisms. Previous studies have identifed that risk genes for ASD broadly converge\r\nonto specifc functional categories with transcriptional regulation being one of the biggest\r\ngroups. In this thesis, I focus on this subgroup of genes and investigate the gene regulatory\r\nconsequences of some of them in the context of neurodevelopment.\r\nFirst, we showed that mutations in the ASD and intellectual disability risk gene Setd5 lead\r\nto perturbations of gene regulatory programs in early cell fate specifcation. In addition,\r\nadult animals display abnormal learning behavior which is mirrored at the transcriptional\r\nlevel by altered activity dependent regulation of postsynaptic gene expression. Lastly,\r\nwe link the regulatory function of Setd5 to its interaction with the Paf1 and the NCoR\r\ncomplex.\r\nSecond, by modeling the heterozygous loss of the top ASD gene CHD8 in human cerebral\r\norganoids we demonstrate profound changes in the developmental trajectories of both\r\ninhibitory and excitatory neurons using single cell RNA-sequencing. While the former\r\nwere generated earlier in CHD8+/- organoids, the generation of the latter was shifted to\r\nlater times in favor of a prolonged progenitor expansion phase and ultimately increased\r\norganoid size.\r\nFinally, by modeling heterozygous mutations for four ASD associated chromatin modifers,\r\nASH1L, KDM6B, KMT5B, and SETD5 in human cortical spheroids we show evidence of\r\nregulatory convergence across three of those genes. We observe a shift from dorsal cortical\r\nexcitatory neuron fates towards partially ventralized cell types resembling cells from the\r\nlateral ganglionic eminence. As this project is still ongoing at the time of writing, future\r\nexperiments will aim at elucidating the regulatory mechanisms underlying this shift with\r\nthe aim of linking these three ASD risk genes through biological convergence." alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Christoph full_name: Dotter, Christoph id: 4C66542E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Dotter orcid: 0000-0002-9033-9096 citation: ama: Dotter C.

These receptors are composed of different subunits and the subunit composition can\r\naffect channel properties, receptor trafficking and interaction with other associated proteins.\r\nUsing the high sensitivity SDS-digested freeze-fracture replica labeling (SDS-FRL) for\r\nelectron microscopy I investigated the number, density, and localization of AMPAR subunits,\r\nGluA1, GluA2, GluA3, and GluA1-3 (panAMPA) in pyramidal cells in the CA1 area of mouse\r\nhippocampus. I have found that the immunogold labeling for all of these subunits in the\r\npostsynaptic sites was highest in stratum radiatum and lowest in stratum lacunosummoleculare. The labeling density for the all subunits in the extrasynaptic sites showed a gradual\r\nincrease from the pyramidal cell soma towards the distal part of stratum radiatum. The densities\r\nof extrasynaptic GluA1, GluA2 and panAMPA labeling reached 10-15% of synaptic densities,\r\nwhile the ratio of extrasynaptic labeling for GluA3 was significantly lower compared than those\r\nfor other subunits. The labeling patterns for GluA1, GluA2 and GluA1-3 are similar and their\r\ndensities were higher in the periphery than center of synapses. In contrast, the GluA3-\r\ncontaining receptors were more centrally localized compared to the GluA1- and GluA2-\r\ncontaining receptors.\r\nThe hippocampus plays a central role in learning and memory. Contextual learning has been\r\nshown to require the delivery of AMPA receptors to CA1 synapses in the dorsal hippocampus.\r\nHowever, proximodistal heterogeneity of this plasticity and particular contribution of different\r\nAMPA receptor subunits are not fully understood. By combining inhibitory avoidance task, a\r\nhippocampus-dependent contextual fear-learning paradigm, with SDS-FRL, I have revealed an\r\nincrease in synaptic density specific to GluA1-containing AMPA receptors in the CA1 area.\r\nThe intrasynaptic distribution of GluA1 also changed from the periphery to center-preferred\r\npattern. Furthermore, this synaptic plasticity was evident selectively in stratum radiatum but\r\nnot stratum oriens, and in the CA1 subregion proximal but not distal to CA2. These findings\r\nfurther contribute to our understanding of how specific hippocampal subregions and AMPA\r\nreceptor subunits are involved in physiological learning.\r\nAlthough the immunolabeling results above shed light on subunit-specific plasticity in\r\nAMPAR distribution, no tools to visualize and study the subunit composition at the single\r\nchannel level in situ have been available. Electron microscopy with conventional immunogold\r\nlabeling approaches has limitations in the single channel analysis because of the large size of\r\nantibodies and steric hindrance hampering multiple subunit labeling of single channels. I\r\nmanaged to develop a new chemical labeling system using a short peptide tag and small\r\nsynthetic probes, which form specific covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the tag fused to\r\nproteins of interest (reactive tag system). I additionally made substantial progress into adapting\r\nthis system for AMPA receptor subunits." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Marijo full_name: Jevtic, Marijo id: 4BE3BC94-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jevtic citation: ama: Jevtic M.

In contrast to classical\r\ncomputers based on bits that are represented by a single binary value, 0 or 1, quantum\r\nbits (or qubits) can be in a superposition of both. Thus, quantum computers can store\r\nand handle more information at the same time and a quantum advantage has already\r\nbeen demonstrated for two types of computational tasks. Rapid progress in academic\r\nand industry labs accelerates the development of superconducting processors which may\r\nsoon fnd applications in complex computations, chemical simulations, cryptography, and\r\noptimization. Now that these machines are scaled up to tackle such problems the questions\r\nof qubit interconnects and networks becomes very relevant. How to route signals on-chip\r\nbetween diferent processor components? What is the most efcient way to entangle\r\nqubits? And how to then send and process entangled signals between distant cryostats\r\nhosting superconducting processors?\r\nIn this thesis, we are looking for solutions to these problems by studying the collective\r\nbehavior of superconducting qubit ensembles. We frst demonstrate on-demand tunable\r\ndirectional scattering of microwave photons from a pair of qubits in a waveguide. Such a\r\ndevice can route microwave photons on-chip with a high diode efciency. Then we focus\r\non studying ultra-strong coupling regimes between light (microwave photons) and matter\r\n(superconducting qubits), a regime that could be promising for extremely fast multi-qubit\r\nentanglement generation. Finally, we show coherent pulse storage and periodic revivals\r\nin a fve qubit ensemble strongly coupled to a resonator. Such a reconfgurable storage\r\ndevice could be used as part of a quantum repeater that is needed for longer-distance\r\nquantum communication.\r\nThe achieved high degree of control over multi-qubit ensembles highlights not only the\r\nbeautiful physics of circuit quantum electrodynamics, it also represents the frst step\r\ntoward new quantum simulation and communication methods, and certain techniques\r\nmay also fnd applications in future superconducting quantum computing hardware.\r\n" acknowledged_ssus: - _id: NanoFab - _id: M-Shop - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Elena full_name: Redchenko, Elena id: 2C21D6E8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Redchenko citation: ama: Redchenko E.

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.

Yet the mechanisms immune cells utilize to negotiate tissue barriers in living organisms are not well understood, and a role for cortical actin has not been examined. Here, we find that the tissue invasion of Drosophila macrophages, also known as plasmatocytes or hemocytes, utilizes enhanced cortical F-actin levels stimulated by the Drosophila member of the fos proto oncogene transcription factor family (Dfos, Kayak). RNA sequencing analysis and live imaging show that Dfos enhances F-actin levels around the entire macrophage surface by increasing mRNA levels of the membrane spanning molecular scaffold tetraspanin TM4SF, and the actin cross-linking filamin Cheerio, which are themselves required for invasion. Both the filamin and the tetraspanin enhance the cortical activity of Rho1 and the formin Diaphanous and thus the assembly of cortical actin, which is a critical function since expressing a dominant active form of Diaphanous can rescue the Dfos macrophage invasion defect. In vivo imaging shows that Dfos enhances the efficiency of the initial phases of macrophage tissue entry. Genetic evidence argues that this Dfos-induced program in macrophages counteracts the constraint produced by the tension of surrounding tissues and buffers the properties of the macrophage nucleus from affecting tissue entry. We thus identify strengthening the cortical actin cytoskeleton through Dfos as a key process allowing efficient forward movement of an immune cell into surrounding tissues.

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.

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.

Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenotypes. Here we develop MorphOMICs, a topological data analysis approach, which enables semiautomatic mapping of microglial morphology into an atlas of cue-dependent phenotypes and overcomes feature-selection biases and biological variability. We extract spatially heterogeneous and sexually dimorphic morphological phenotypes for seven adult mouse brain regions. This sex-specific phenotype declines with maturation but increases over the disease trajectories in two neurodegeneration mouse models, with females showing a faster morphological shift in affected brain regions. Remarkably, microglia morphologies reflect an adaptation upon repeated exposure to ketamine anesthesia and do not recover to control morphologies. Finally, we demonstrate that both long primary processes and short terminal processes provide distinct insights to morphological phenotypes. MorphOMICs opens a new perspective to characterize microglial morphology. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio - _id: ScienComp acknowledgement: We thank the scientific service units at ISTA, in particular M.

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.

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.

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.

Synaptic connectivity determines which inputs from presynaptic neurons are integrated, while cellular properties determine how inputs are filtered over time. Unlike their biological counterparts, most computational approaches to learning in simulated neural networks are limited to changes in synaptic connectivity. However, if intrinsic parameters change, neural computations are altered drastically. Here, we include the parameters that determine the intrinsic properties,\r\ne.g., time constants and reset potential, into the learning paradigm. Using sparse feedback signals that indicate target spike times, and gradient-based parameter updates, we show that the intrinsic parameters can be learned along with the synaptic weights to produce specific input-output functions. Specifically, we use a teacher-student paradigm in which a randomly initialised leaky integrate-and-fire or resonate-and-fire neuron must recover the parameters of a teacher neuron. We show that complex temporal functions can be learned online and without backpropagation through time, relying on event-based updates only. Our results are a step towards online learning of neural computations from ungraded and unsigned sparse feedback signals with a biologically inspired learning mechanism." acknowledgement: We would like to thank Professor Dr. Henning Sprekeler for his valuable suggestions and Dr. Andrew Saxe, Milan Klöwer and Anna Wallis for their constructive feedback on the manuscript.

Yet, most existing methods to approximate second-order information have high computational\r\nor storage costs, which limits their practicality. In this work, we investigate matrix-free, linear-time approaches for estimating Inverse-Hessian Vector Products (IHVPs) for the case when the Hessian can be approximated as a sum of rank-one matrices, as in the classic approximation of the Hessian by the empirical Fisher matrix. We propose two new algorithms: the first is tailored towards network compression and can compute the IHVP for dimension d, if the Hessian is given as a sum of m rank-one matrices, using O(dm2) precomputation, O(dm) cost for computing the IHVP, and query cost O(m) for any single element of the inverse Hessian. The second algorithm targets an optimization setting, where we wish to compute the product between the inverse Hessian, estimated over a sliding window of optimization steps, and a given gradient direction, as required for preconditioned SGD. We give an algorithm with cost O(dm + m2) for computing the IHVP and O(dm + m3) for adding or removing any gradient from the sliding window. These\r\ntwo algorithms yield state-of-the-art results for network pruning and optimization with lower computational overhead relative to existing second-order methods.

This problem arises naturally in large-scale distributed optimisation, where a standard solution is to apply variants of (stochastic) gradient descent. We focus on the communication complexity of this problem: our main result provides the first fully unconditional bounds on total number of bits which need to be sent and received by the N machines to solve this problem under point-to-point communication, within a given error-tolerance. Specifically, we show that Ω(Ndlogd/Nε) total bits need to be communicated between the machines to find an additive ϵ-approximation to the minimum of ∑Ni=1fi(x). The result holds for both deterministic and randomised algorithms, and, importantly, requires no assumptions on the algorithm structure. The lower bound is tight under certain restrictions on parameter values, and is matched within constant factors for quadratic objectives by a new variant of quantised gradient descent, which we describe and analyse. Our results bring over tools from communication complexity to distributed optimisation, which has potential for further applications." acknowledgement: We thank the NeurIPS reviewers for insightful comments that helped us improve the positioning of our results, as well as for pointing out the subsampling approach for complementing the randomised lower bound.
