Genome-Wide Identification of Transcriptional Start Sites in the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato str. DC3000

RNA-Seq has provided valuable insights into global gene expression in a wide variety of organisms. Using a modified RNA-Seq approach and Illumina's high-throughput sequencing technology, we globally identified 5′-ends of transcripts for the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato str. DC3000. A substantial fraction of 5′-ends obtained by this method were consistent with results obtained using global RNA-Seq and 5′RACE. As expected, many 5′-ends were positioned a short distance upstream of annotated genes. We also captured 5′-ends within intergenic regions, providing evidence for the expression of un-annotated genes and non-coding RNAs, and detected numerous examples of antisense transcription, suggesting additional levels of complexity in gene regulation in DC3000. Importantly, targeted searches for sequence patterns in the vicinity of 5′-ends revealed over 1200 putative promoters and other regulatory motifs, establishing a broad foundation for future investigations of regulation at the genomic and single gene levels

Landing CG on EARTH: A Case Study of Fine-Grained Multithreading on an Evolutionary Path

We report on our work in developing a fine-grained multithreaded solution for the communicationintensive Conjugate Gradient (CG) problem. In our recent work, we developed a simple yet efficient program for sparse matrix-vector multiply on a multithreaded system. This paper presents an effective mechanism for the reduction-broadcast phase, which is integrated with the sparse MVM, resulting in a scalable implementation of the complete CG application. Three major observations from our experiments on the EARTH multithreaded testbed are: (1) The scalability of our CG implementation is impressive, e.g., absolute speedup is 90 on 120 processors for the NAS CG class B input. (2) Our dataflow-style reductionbroadcast network based on fine-grain multithreading is twice as fast as a serial reduction scheme on the same system. (3) By slowing down the network by a factor of 2, no notable degradation of overall CG performance was observed. 1. Introduction Many existing or proposed parallel machin..
