  text: Developing tissues interpret dynamic changes in morphogen activity to generate
    cell type diversity. To quantitatively study bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)
    signaling dynamics in the mouse neural tube, we developed an embryonic stem cell
    differentiation system tailored for growing tissues. Differentiating cells form
    striking self-organized patterns of dorsal neural tube cell types driven by sequential
    phases of BMP signaling that are observed both in vitro and in vivo. Data-driven
    biophysical modeling showed that these dynamics result from coupling fast negative
    feedback with slow positive regulation of signaling by the specification of an
    endogenous BMP source. Thus, in contrast to relays that propagate morphogen signaling
    in space, we identify a BMP signaling relay that operates in time. This mechanism
    allows for a rapid initial concentration-sensitive response that is robustly terminated,
    thereby regulating balanced sequential cell type generation. Our study provides
    an experimental and theoretical framework to understand how signaling dynamics
    are exploited in developing tissues.

  text: "Crustaceans are a large group of arthropods with a great diversity of species
    and\r\ndifferent types of sex determination systems and reproductive modes (Subramoniam,
    2017).\r\nThis makes them a great model for exploring the evolution of sex chromosomes
    and sexual\r\ndimorphism and investigating the evolutionary mechanisms driving
    and maintaining the\r\ndiversity of reproductive systems. Within this taxon, Brine
    shrimp of the genus Artemia, a\r\nbranchiopod crustacean, are well suited for
    such explorations, as they have both highly\r\ndimorphic traits and closely related
    sexual and asexual species. Although brine shrimp are\r\nknown to have ZW sex
    chromosomes (Bowen, 1963; Parraguez et al., 2009), the sex\r\nchromosomes are
    still not well characterized at the genomic level, the sex-determination gene\r\nis
    unknown, and it is still unclear whether the same sex chromosomes as shared by
    the\r\ndifferent species.\r\nThe first part of this thesis was to characterize
    the Z and W chromosomes in Artemia\r\nusing an array of methods, from generating
    multiple chromosome and contig level genome\r\nassemblies to identifying W-linked
    scaffolds and transcripts in multiple species using k-mer\r\nbased approaches.\r\nThe
    second part tackles the conservation of the cell type specific regulatory pathways\r\nin
    the female reproductive system between Artemia and Drosophila, and the expression
    of the\r\nZ-specific region throughout meiosis using single-nucleus RNA-seq data.
    Our results show\r\nthat germline cells lack dosage compensation, with a subset
    of cells showing evidence of\r\nextreme repression of the Z chromosome.\r\nWith
    multiple sexual species and several asexual lineages of parthenogenetic females\r\nthat
    produce rare males at low frequencies, Brine shrimp present the perfect opportunity
    to\r\nexplore the transition to asexuality and shed light on the prerequisites
    and repercussions of\r\nthe form of modified meiosis maintaining the asexual lineages.
    The last chapter is an\r\ninvestigation of the molecular pathways involved in
    asexual reproduction in Artemia using\r\nnewly generated single nucleus RNAseq
    and WGS data and previously published data. "

  text: "\"Can we do this with a new type of computer - a quantum computer?\". This
    famous\r\nquotation of the brilliant Richard Feynman within a conference talk
    on \"Simulating physics\r\nwith computers.” is often reverently praised as the
    origin of the field of quantum computing.\r\nThe idea was to use quantum mechanical
    systems itself to simulate \"Nature\", which is\r\ninherently quantum mechanical.
    Now, 43 years later, the theoretical framework of how such\r\na computer can operate
    has been developed. Two main important concepts for a potential\r\nquantum supremacy,
    superposition and entanglement, have been exploited to design quantum\r\nalgorithms
    to significantly speed up certain tasks. Yet, the specific hardware implementation\r\nis
    still far from being certain, in fact the race between the most promising platforms
    such as\r\nsuperconducting qubits, bosonic codes, cold atoms, trapped ions, optical
    computing as well\r\nas spin qubits has recently intensified. If one also includes
    the most mature applications of\r\nquantum communication technologies, secure
    quantum key distribution and quantum random\r\nnumber generators, as part of a
    quantum information technology ecosystem, we are confronted\r\nwith a plethora
    of different materials, concepts, and also operation frequencies. While\r\nsuperconducting
    qubits, bosonic codes and spin qubits work in the regime of approximately 5\r\nGHz
    and are controlled by electrical fields, trapped ions, cold atoms, and optical
    quantum\r\ncomputing operate with light in the infrared or visible range.\r\nConsequently,
    a quantum frequency converter or microwave-optic transducer is required\r\nto
    interface the different frequency domains or establish a long-range network connection\r\nwith
    suitable telecom fibers. In fact, the combination of different frequency regimes
    is also\r\nan essential part in our classical modern communication network, where
    computations are\r\nperformed in electrical circuits and the information exchange
    over longer distances happens\r\nvia optical fibers. However, the specific challenges
    specific to building a quantum computer,\r\nalso apply to the development of such
    a quantum frequency transducer: 1) As we deal with\r\nsingle excitations as the
    carrier of information, i.e. the smallest possible quantity, the signal\r\ncan
    easily be corrupted by other noise sources which needs to be avoided by all means.
    This\r\nis also the reason why microwave quantum computers operate at temperature
    environments\r\nclose to zero temperature (< 0.1 Kelvin) to avoid corruption by
    thermal noise. 2) The\r\nfrequency interface generally needs to preserve the phase
    of the signal as an essential part\r\nof the quantum state. And 3) Quantum signals
    cannot be copied which would be a typical\r\nstrategy to account for errors in
    classical computers. And finally, there is a challenge specific to\r\nmicrowave-optic
    transducers: While quantum computers are operating in one specific frequency\r\ndomain,
    microwave-optic transducers combine microwave and optical fields in one device.\r\nThis
    results in the particular challenge that high-energy optical radiation, which
    is usually\r\nwell-shielded from superconducting microwave quantum processors,
    are now an essential part\r\nof the device. The concomitant optical radiation
    in the operating transducer will inevitably\r\nhave a detrimental effect on the
    superconducting microwave components. Together with the\r\nrequirement of minimal
    background noise for quantum-limited operation as described above,\r\nv\r\nheating
    from the absorption of optical photons within the same device where single microwave\r\nexcitations
    are processed forms a formidable challenge.\r\nThis thesis aims to address this
    challenge by developing microwave-optic transducers where\r\nthe impact of optical
    absorption on superconducting circuits in general and superconducting\r\nqubits
    specifically can be mitigated. In our first approach, we developed a compact device\r\nwith
    optimized interaction strengths between the different frequency domains. This
    minimizes\r\nthe optical powers used for transducer operation and thus the optical
    absorption heating. This\r\nwork was - to the best of our knowledge - the first
    comprehensive noise study, in an integrated\r\nmicrowave-optic transducer. Unfortunately,
    we saw that the optical absorption heating added\r\nnoise way above a single excitation.
    Consequently, a potential quantum signal would have\r\nbeen buried in the noise,
    added by the transduction.\r\nBuilding on this insight, we utilized a three-dimensional
    microwave-optic transducer instead\r\nof an integrated device. The larger heat
    capacity of the macroscopic device with a size\r\nof a few millimeters can absorb
    a larger fraction of the optical heating before it increases\r\nthe temperature
    of the device. This allowed us to interface the transducer directly with a\r\nsuperconducting
    qubit to readout the qubit state in a novel all-optical manner. We showed\r\nthat
    the microwave-optic transducer can be operated in a regime in which optical fields
    don’t\r\nharm the sensitive qubit. This is an important prerequisite for the operation
    of microwave-optic\r\ntransducers in conjunction with microwave quantum processors
    and brings the integration and\r\nseamless orchestration of different frequency
    components in a quantum network a step closer.\r\n"

  text: Recent advancements in superconducting circuits have enabled the experimental
    study of collective behavior of precisely controlled intermediate-scale ensembles
    of qubits. In this work, we demonstrate an atomic frequency comb formed by individual
    artificial atoms strongly coupled to a single resonator mode. We observe periodic
    microwave pulses that originate from a single coherent excitation dynamically
    interacting with the multiqubit ensemble. We show that this revival dynamics emerges
    as a consequence of the constructive and periodic rephasing of the five superconducting
    qubits forming the vacuum Rabi split comb. In the future, similar devices could
    be used as a memory with in situ tunable storage time or as an on-chip periodic
    pulse generator with nonclassical photon statistics.

  text: "This thesis explores advancements in quantum remote sensing and non-equilibrium
    phase\r\ntransitions in the microwave regime, with a focus on dissipative phase
    transitions and quantumenhanced sensing.\r\nIn the first project, I experimentally
    studied photon blockade breakdown as a dissipative phase\r\ntransition in a zero-dimensional
    cavity-qubit system. By defining an appropriate thermodynamic\r\nlimit, we demonstrated
    that the observed bistability is a genuine signature of a first-order\r\nphase
    transition in this system. This work provides insight into non-equilibrium quantum\r\ndynamics
    and phase transitions in driven-dissipative open quantum systems.\r\nThe second
    project focuses on the experimental realization of a phase-conjugate receiver
    for\r\nquantum illumination (QI), a quantum sensing protocol that enhances target
    detection in noisy\r\nenvironments using entangled light. While an ideal spontaneous
    parametric down-conversion\r\n(SPDC) source and receiver could, in theory, provide
    up to a 6 dB advantage over classical\r\nillumination, no such ideal receiver
    exists. Instead, we explore an experimental realization of a\r\nphase-conjugate
    receiver for QI in the microwave regime at millikelvin temperatures using a\r\nJosephson
    parametric converter (JPC) as a source of continuous-variable Gaussian entangled\r\nsignal-idler
    pairs, where a maximum 3 dB advantage is theoretically achievable. We investigate\r\nkey
    experimental limitations that constrain practical QI performance, contributing
    to the\r\ndevelopment of quantum-enhanced sensing.\r\nAdditionally, this thesis
    presents efficient digital signal processing (DSP) techniques implemented in C++
    and Python in collaboration with Przemysław Zieliński and Luka Drmić. These\r\nmethods,
    optimized using the Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) library, have
    been\r\nessential in data acquisition, noise filtering, and correlation analysis
    across multiple research\r\nprojects. Although not real-time, these DSP techniques
    significantly enhance the accuracy of\r\nquantum measurements.\r\nOverall, this
    thesis advances quantum-enhanced sensing by establishing the thermodynamic\r\nlimit
    in a single transmon-cavity system and experimentally exploring a phase-conjugate
    receiver\r\nfor QI. These findings contribute to quantum metrology, particularly
    for weak signal detection\r\nand remote sensing in noisy environments.\r\n"

  text: "Hole spin qubits are rapidly emerging as the workhorse of semiconducting
    quantum processors because of their large spin-orbit interaction, enabling fast
    all-electric operations at low power. However, spin-orbit interaction also causes
    non-uniformities in devices, resulting in locally varying qubit energies and site-dependent
    anisotropies. While these anisotropies can be used to drive single-spins, if not
    properly harnessed, they can hinder the path toward large-scale quantum processors.
    Here, we report on microwave-driven singlet-triplet qubits in planar germanium
    and use them to investigate the anisotropy of two spins in a double quantum dot.
    We show two distinct operating regimes depending on the magnetic field direction.
    For in-plane fields, the two spins are largely anisotropic, and electrically tunable,
    which enables to measure all the available transitions; coherence times exceeding
    3 $\\mu$s are extracted. For out-of-plane fields, they have an isotropic response
    but preserve the substantial energy difference required to address the singlet-triplet
    qubit. Even in this field direction, where the qubit lifetime\r\nis strongly affected
    by nuclear spins, we find 400 ns coherence times. Our work adds a valuable tool
    to investigate and harness the anisotropy of spin qubits and can be implemented
    in any large-scale NxN device, facilitating the path towards scalable quantum
    processors."

  text: "Over the past century, researchers have been fascinated by the quantum nature
    of the\r\nphysical world, initially striving to understand its fundamental principles
    and consequences, and\r\neventually progressing toward engineering systems that
    can control and manipulate quantum\r\nproperties. Today, we stand at the dawn
    of the quantum technology era. While some quantum\r\ntechnologies follow well-defined
    roadmaps, others are still in the exciting and uncertain early\r\nstages of development.
    In the fields of quantum computing and quantum simulation, research\r\nis being
    conducted across a wide variety of platforms. Each of these demonstrates control
    over\r\nquantum properties but also faces challenges in scaling up to the level
    of a mature technology.\r\nThis thesis explores some of the fundamental properties
    of hole spin qubits in planar germanium.\r\nSemiconductor spin qubits are considered
    strong candidates for the realization of quantum\r\nprocessors, owing to their
    long relaxation and coherence times, as well as their compatibility\r\nwith existing
    semiconductor industry infrastructure. Among these, hole spin qubits in planar\r\ngermanium
    are particularly promising. Their advantages include a large effective mass, which\r\neases
    fabrication constraints; inherent protection from hyperfine noise; and strong
    spin-orbit\r\ninteraction, which enables fast and purely electrical control. However,
    spin-orbit coupling also\r\nintroduces site-dependent variability across qubits,
    particularly in the g-tensors and spin-flip\r\ntunneling, which might cause that
    the quantization axes are not aligned. In this thesis, we\r\ninvestigate the tilt
    between the quantization axes of two hole spins hosted in a double quantum\r\ndot
    as a function of both the magnetic field direction and various electrostatic configurations,\r\ndemonstrating
    that both parameters influence this tilt. We conclude by introducing a machine-learning-assisted
    routine to automatically tune baseband spin qubits. This approach may prove\r\nto
    be a powerful tool for characterizing spin-orbit effects and gaining deeper insight
    into the\r\nphysics governing spin qubit behavior.\r\n"

  text: In this paper we consider the stochastic primitive equation for geophysical
    flows subject to transport noise and turbulent pressure. Admitting very rough
    noise terms, the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to this stochastic
    partial differential equation are proven using stochastic maximal L² regularity,
    the theory of critical spaces for stochastic evolution equations, and global a
    priori bounds. Compared to other results in this direction, we do not need any
    smallness assumption on the transport noise which acts directly on the velocity
    field and we also allow rougher noise terms. The adaptation to Stratonovich type
    noise and, more generally, to variable viscosity and/or conductivity are discussed
    as well.

  text: The Tverberg theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states
    that, given a set X of at least (d+1)(r−1)+1 points in Rd, one can find a partition
    X=X1∪⋯∪Xr of X, such that the convex hulls of the Xi, i=1,…,r, all share a common
    point. In this paper, we prove a trengthening of this theorem that guarantees
    a partition which, in addition to the above, has the property that the boundaries
    of full-dimensional convex hulls have pairwise nonempty intersections. Possible
    generalizations and algorithmic aspects are also discussed. As a concrete application,
    we show that any n points in the plane in general position span ⌊n/3⌋ vertex-disjoint
    triangles that are pairwise crossing, meaning that their boundaries have pairwise
    nonempty intersections; this number is clearly best possible. A previous result
    of Álvarez-Rebollar et al. guarantees ⌊n/6⌋pairwise crossing triangles. Our result
    generalizes to a result about simplices in Rd, d≥2.

  text: "We consider the spectrum of random Laplacian matrices of the form Ln=An−Dn
    where An\r\n is a real symmetric random matrix and Dn is a diagonal matrix whose
    entries are equal to the corresponding row sums of An. If An is a Wigner matrix
    with entries in the domain of attraction of a Gaussian distribution, the empirical
    spectral measure of Ln is known to converge to the free convolution of a semicircle
    distribution and a standard real Gaussian distribution. We consider real symmetric
    random matrices An with independent entries (up to symmetry) whose row sums converge
    to a purely non-Gaussian infinitely divisible distribution, which fall into the
    class of Lévy–Khintchine random matrices first introduced by Jung [Trans Am Math
    Soc, 370, (2018)]. Our main result shows that the empirical spectral measure of
    Ln  converges almost surely to a deterministic limit. A key step in the proof
    is to use the purely non-Gaussian nature of the row sums to build a random operator
    to which Ln converges in an appropriate sense. This operator leads to a recursive
    distributional equation uniquely describing the Stieltjes transform of the limiting
    empirical spectral measure."

  text: We introduce a method to segment the visual field into independently moving
    regions, trained with no ground truth or supervision. It consists of an adversarial
    conditional encoder-decoder architecture based on Slot Attention, modified to
    use the image as context to decode optical flow without attempting to reconstruct
    the image itself. In the resulting multi-modal representation, one modality (flow)
    feeds the encoder to produce separate latent codes (slots), whereas the other
    modality (image) conditions the decoder to generate the first (flow) from the
    slots. This design frees the representation from having to encode complex nuisance
    variability in the image due to, for instance, illumination and reflectance properties
    of the scene. Since customary autoencoding based on minimizing the reconstruction
    error does not preclude the entire flow from being encoded into a single slot,
    we modify the loss to an adversarial criterion based on Contextual Information
    Separation. The resulting min-max optimization fosters the separation of objects
    and their assignment to different attention slots, leading to Divided Attention,
    or DivA. DivA outperforms recent unsupervised multi-object motion segmentation
    methods while tripling run-time speed up to 104FPS and reducing the performance
    gap from supervised methods to 12% or less. DivA can handle different numbers
    of objects and different image sizes at training and test time, is invariant to
    permutation of object labels, and does not require explicit regularization.

  text: The phytohormone auxin and its directional transport through tissues play
    a fundamental role in development of higher plants. This polar auxin transport
    predominantly relies on PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin exporters. Hence, PIN polarization
    is crucial for development, but its evolution during the rise of morphological
    complexity in land plants remains unclear. Here, we performed a cross-species
    investigation by observing the trafficking and localization of endogenous and
    exogenous PINs in two bryophytes, Physcomitrium patens and Marchantia polymorpha,
    and in the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We confirmed that the GFP fusion
    did not compromise the auxin export function of all examined PINs by using radioactive
    auxin export assay and by observing the phenotypic changes in transgenic bryophytes.
    Endogenous PINs polarize to filamentous apices, while exogenous Arabidopsis PINs
    distribute symmetrically on the membrane in both bryophytes. In Arabidopsis root
    epidermis, bryophytic PINs show no defined polarity. Pharmacological interference
    revealed a strong cytoskeleton dependence of bryophytic but not Arabidopsis PIN
    polarization. The divergence of PIN polarization and trafficking is also observed
    within the bryophyte clade and between tissues of individual species. These results
    collectively reveal a divergence of PIN trafficking and polarity mechanisms throughout
    land plant evolution and a co-evolution of PIN sequence-based and cell-based polarity
    mechanisms.

  text: For a locally finite set in R2, the order-k Brillouin tessellations form an
    infinite sequence of convex face-to-face tilings of the plane. If the set is coarsely
    dense and generic, then the corresponding infinite sequences of minimum and maximum
    angles are both monotonic in k. As an example, a stationary Poisson point process
    in R2  is locally finite, coarsely dense, and generic with probability one. For
    such a set, the distributions of angles in the Voronoi tessellations, Delaunay
    mosaics, and Brillouin tessellations are independent of the order and can be derived
    from the formula for angles in order-1 Delaunay mosaics given by Miles (Math.
    Biosci. 6, 85–127 (1970)).

  text: "We consider the problem of computing the maximal probability of satisfying
    an \r\n-regular specification for stochastic, continuous-state, nonlinear systems
    evolving in discrete time. The problem reduces, after automata-theoretic constructions,
    to finding the maximal probability of satisfying a parity condition on a (possibly
    hybrid) state space. While characterizing the exact satisfaction probability is
    open, we show that a lower bound on this probability can be obtained by (I) computing
    an under-approximation of the qualitative winning region, i.e., states from which
    the parity condition can be enforced almost surely, and (II) computing the maximal
    probability of reaching this qualitative winning region.\r\nThe heart of our approach
    is a technique to symbolically compute the under-approximation of the qualitative
    winning region in step (I) via a finite-state abstraction of the original system
    as a \r\n-player parity game. Our abstraction procedure uses only the support
    of the probabilistic evolution; it does not use precise numerical transition probabilities.
    We prove that the winning set in the abstract -player game induces an under-approximation
    of the qualitative winning region in the original synthesis problem, along with
    a policy to solve it. By combining these contributions with (a) a symbolic fixpoint
    algorithm to solve \r\n-player games and (b) existing techniques for reachability
    policy synthesis in stochastic nonlinear systems, we get an abstraction-based
    algorithm for finding a lower bound on the maximal satisfaction probability.\r\nWe
    have implemented the abstraction-based algorithm in Mascot-SDS, where we combined
    the outlined abstraction step with our tool Genie (Majumdar et al., 2023) that
    solves \r\n-player parity games (through a reduction to Rabin games) more efficiently
    than existing algorithms. We evaluated our implementation on the nonlinear model
    of a perturbed bistable switch from the literature. We show empirically that the
    lower bound on the winning region computed by our approach is precise, by comparing
    against an over-approximation of the qualitative winning region. Moreover, our
    implementation outperforms a recently proposed tool for solving this problem by
    a large margin."
acknowledgement: "We thank Daniel Hausmann and Nir Piterman for their valuable comments
  on an earlier version of the manuscript of our other paper [22] where we present,
  among other things, the parity fixpoint for 2 1/2-player games (for a slightly more
  general class of games) with a different and indirect proof of correctness. Based
  on their comments we observed that, unlike the other fixpoints that we present in
  [22], the parity fixpoint does not follow the exact same structure as its counterpart
  for 2-player games, which we also use int his paper.\r\nWe also thank Thejaswini
  Raghavan for observing that our symbolic parity fixpoint algorithm can be solved
  in quasi-polynomial time using recent improved algorithms for solving \r\n-calculus
  expressions. This significantly improved the complexity bounds of our algorithm
  in this paper.\r\nThe work of R. Majumdar and A.-K. Schmuck are partially supported

  text: "We prove that the mesoscopic linear statistics ∑if(na(σi−z0)) of the eigenvalues
    {σi}i of large n×n non-Hermitian random matrices with complex centred i.i.d. entries
    are asymptotically Gaussian for any H20-functions f around any point z0 in the
    bulk of the spectrum on any mesoscopic scale 0<a<1/2. This extends our previous
    result (Cipolloni et al. in Commun Pure Appl Math, 2019. arXiv:1912.04100), that
    was valid on the macroscopic scale, a=0\r\n, to cover the entire mesoscopic regime.
    The main novelty is a local law for the product of resolvents for the Hermitization
    of X at spectral parameters z1,z2 with an improved error term in the entire mesoscopic
    regime |z1−z2|≫n−1/2. The proof is dynamical; it relies on a recursive tandem
    of the characteristic flow method and the Green function comparison idea combined
    with a separation of the unstable mode of the underlying stability operator."

  text: Low‐cost, safe, and environmental‐friendly rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries
    (ZIBs) are promising as next‐generation energy storage devices for wearable electronics
    among other applications. However, sluggish ionic transport kinetics and the unstable
    electrode structure during ionic insertion/extraction hampers their deployment.
    Herein,  we propose a new cathode material based on a layered metal chalcogenide
    (LMC), bismuth telluride (Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>), coated
    with polypyrrole (PPy). Taking advantage of the PPy coating, the Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy
    composite presents strong ionic absorption affinity, high oxidation resistance,
    and high structural stability. The ZIBs based on Bi<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>@PPy
    cathodes exhibit high capacities and ultra‐long lifespans of over 5000 cycles.
    They also present outstanding stability even under bending. In addition,  we analyze
    here the reaction mechanism using in situ X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron
    spectroscopy, and computational tools and demonstrate that, in the aqueous system,
    Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> is not inserted into the cathode as previously assumed.
    In contrast, proton charge storage dominates the process. Overall, this work not
    only shows the great potential of LMCs as ZIBs cathode materials and the advantages
    of PPy coating, but also clarifies the charge/discharge mechanism in rechargeable
    ZIBs based on LMCs.

  text: "Auxin belongs among major phytohormones and governs multiple aspects of plant
    growth and development. The establishment of auxin concentration gradients, determines,
    among other processes, plant organ positioning and growth responses to environmental
    stimuli.\r\nHerein we report the synthesis of new NBD- or DNS-labelled IAA derivatives
    and the elucidation of their biological activity, fluorescence properties and
    subcellular accumulation patterns in planta. These novel compounds did not show
    auxin-like activity, but instead antagonized physiological auxin effects. The
    DNS-labelled derivatives FL5 and FL6 showed strong anti-auxin activity in roots
    and hypocotyls, which also occurred at the level of gene transcription as confirmed
    by quantitative PCR analysis. The auxin antagonism of our derivatives was further
    demonstrated in vitro using an SPR-based binding assay. The NBD-labelled compound
    FL4 with the best fluorescence properties proved to be unsuitable to study auxin
    accumulation patterns in planta. On the other hand, the strongest anti-auxin activity
    possessing compounds FL5 and FL6 could be useful to study binding mechanisms to
    auxin receptors and for manipulations of auxin-regulated processes."

  text: 'We investigate the potential of Multi-Objective, Deep Reinforcement Learning
    for stock and cryptocurrency single-asset trading: in particular, we consider
    a Multi-Objective algorithm which generalizes the reward functions and discount
    factor (i.e., these components are not specified a priori, but incorporated in
    the learning process). Firstly, using several important assets (BTCUSD, ETHUSDT,
    XRPUSDT, AAPL, SPY, NIFTY50), we verify the reward generalization property of
    the proposed Multi-Objective algorithm, and provide preliminary statistical evidence
    showing increased predictive stability over the corresponding Single-Objective
    strategy. Secondly, we show that the Multi-Objective algorithm has a clear edge
    over the corresponding Single-Objective strategy when the reward mechanism is
    sparse (i.e., when non-null feedback is infrequent over time). Finally, we discuss
    the generalization properties with respect to the discount factor. The entirety
    of our code is provided in open-source format.'

  text: Inversions are thought to play a key role in adaptation and speciation, suppressing
    recombination between diverging populations. Genes influencing adaptive traits
    cluster in inversions, and changes in inversion frequencies are associated with
    environmental differences. However, in many organisms, it is unclear if inversions
    are geographically and taxonomically widespread. The intertidal snail, Littorina
    saxatilis, is one such example. Strong associations between putative polymorphic
    inversions and phenotypic differences have been demonstrated between two ecotypes
    of L. saxatilis in Sweden and inferred elsewhere, but no direct evidence for inversion
    polymorphism currently exists across the species range. Using whole genome data
    from 107 snails, most inversion polymorphisms were found to be widespread across
    the species range. The frequencies of some inversion arrangements were significantly
    different among ecotypes, suggesting a parallel adaptive role. Many inversions
    were also polymorphic in the sister species, L. arcana, hinting at an ancient
    origin.
acknowledgement: We would like to thank members of the Littorina team for their advice
  and feedback during this project. In particular, we thank Alan Le Moan, who inspired
  us to look at heterozygosity differences to identify inversions, and Katherine Hearn
  for helping with the PCA scripts. We thank Edinburgh Genomics for library preparation
  and sequencing. Sample collections, sequencing and data preparation were supported
  by the European Research Council (ERC-2015-AdG-693030- BARRIERS) and the Natural

  text: Entire chromosomes are typically only transmitted vertically from one generation
    to the next. The horizontal transfer of such chromosomes has long been considered
    improbable, yet gained recent support in several pathogenic fungi where it may
    affect the fitness or host specificity. To date, it is unknown how these transfers
    occur, how common they are and whether they can occur between different species.
    In this study, we show multiple independent instances of horizontal transfers
    of the same accessory chromosome between two distinct strains of the asexual entomopathogenic
    fungus<jats:italic>Metarhizium robertsii</jats:italic>during experimental co-infection
    of its insect host, the Argentine ant. Notably, only the one chromosome – but
    no other – was transferred from the donor to the recipient strain. The recipient
    strain, now harboring the accessory chromosome, exhibited a competitive advantage
    under certain host conditions. By phylogenetic analysis we further demonstrate
    that the same accessory chromosome was horizontally transferred in a natural environment
    between<jats:italic>M. robertsii</jats:italic>and another congeneric insect pathogen,<jats:italic>M.
    guizhouense</jats:italic>. Hence horizontal chromosome transfer is not limited
    to the observed frequent events within species during experimental infections
    but also occurs naturally across species. The transferred accessory chromosome
    contains genes that might be involved in its preferential horizontal transfer,
    encoding putative histones and histone-modifying enzymes, but also putative virulence
    factors that may support its establishment. Our study reveals that both intra-
    and interspecies horizontal transfer of entire chromosomes is more frequent than
    previously assumed, likely representing a not uncommon mechanism for gene exchange.</jats:p><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance
    Statement</jats:title><jats:p>The enormous success of bacterial pathogens has
    been attributed to their ability to exchange genetic material between one another.
    Similarly, in eukaryotes, horizontal transfer of genetic material allowed the
    spread of virulence factors across species. The horizontal transfer of whole chromosomes
    could be an important pathway for such exchange of genetic material, but little
    is known about the origin of transferable chromosomes and how frequently they
    are exchanged. Here, we show that the transfer of accessory chromosomes - chromosomes
    that are non-essential but may provide fitness benefits - is common during fungal
    co-infections and is even possible between distant pathogenic species, highlighting
    the importance of horizontal gene transfer via chromosome transfer also for the
    evolution and function of eukaryotic pathogens.
