orthoSynAssign: refine orthogroups using synteny information
Abstract:
Accurately identifying orthogroups is crucial for precise phylogenetic reconstruction, but clustering-based methods often generate complex, many-to-many orthogroups that include confounding paralogs. Incorporating synteny offers a robust strategy to refine these clusters into high-granularity, single-copy orthologs. We introduce orthoSynAssign, a user-friendly, high-performance rewrite of the orthogroup refinement tool OrthoRefine, combining an intuitive Python interface with a core computing engine written in Rust. This hybrid architecture ensures straightforward installation, seamless data parsing, and exceptional computational efficiency. Evaluated against the Yeast Gene Order Browser (YGOB) dataset, orthoSynAssign demonstrated outstanding performance, substantially elevating the Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve. Furthermore, multi-threading benchmarks across 193 Eurotiomycetes genomes confirmed strong scalability, drastically reducing execution runtime while maintaining a strictly bounded, thread-independent memory footprint. Ultimately, orthoSynAssign provides a reliable and scalable framework for high-throughput phylogenomic workflows.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
