Clinical metagenomics.
Clinical metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), the comprehensive analysis of microbial and host genetic material (DNA and RNA) in samples from patients, is rapidly moving from research to clinical laboratories. This emerging approach is changing how physicians diagnose and treat infectious disease, with applications spanning a wide range of areas, including antimicrobial resistance, the microbiome, human host gene expression (transcriptomics) and oncology. Here, we focus on the challenges of implementing mNGS in the clinical laboratory and address potential solutions for maximizing its impact on patient care and public health
Structure and finiteness properties of subdirect products of groups
We investigate the structure of subdirect products of groups, particularly
their finiteness properties. We pay special attention to the subdirect products
of free groups, surface groups and HNN extensions. We prove that a finitely
presented subdirect product of free and surface groups virtually contains a
term of the lower central series of the direct product or else fails to
intersect one of the direct summands. This leads to a characterization of the
finitely presented subgroups of the direct product of 3 free or surface groups,
and to a solution to the conjugacy problem for arbitrary finitely presented
subgroups of direct products of surface groups. We obtain a formula for the
first homology of a subdirect product of two free groups and use it to show
there is no algorithm to determine the first homology of a finitely generated
subgroup.Comment: 29 pages, no figure
The role of cities in cohesion policy 2014-2020
Urban regions are an important factor in regional development. During the 2007-2013 programming period, the main input provided by cities and urban areas was at project level. For the 2014-2020 programming period, Cohesion policy enhances the role of urban areas. Nevertheless, in practice the role of cities still seems similar in scale. As the programming phase is almost completed, there is now limited scope for further influence on the design of the new programmes. The next opportunity to involve cities will be as part of partnerships during the programming perio
Rotational spectrum of cis–cis HOONO
The pure rotational spectrum of cis-cis peroxynitrous acid, HOONO, has been observed. Over 220 transitions, sampling states up to J(')=67 and K-a(')=31, have been fitted with an rms uncertainty of 48.4 kHz. The experimentally determined rotational constants agree well with ab initio values for the cis-cis conformer, a five-membered ring formed by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The small, positive inertial defect Delta=0.075667(60) amu A(2) and lack of any observable torsional splittings in the spectrum indicate that cis-cis HOONO exists in a well-defined planar structure at room temperature
