Challenge data set for macromolecular multi-microcrystallography.

ABSTRACT: A synthetic data set demonstrating a particularly challenging case of indexing ambiguity in the context of radiation damage was generated. This set shall serve as a standard benchmark and reference point for the ongoing development of new methods and new approaches to robust structure solution when single-crystal methods are insufficient. Of the 100 short wedges of data, only the first 36 are currently necessary to solve the structure by `cheating', or using the correct reference structure as a guide. The total wall-clock time and number of crystals required to solve the structure without cheating is proposed as a metric for the efficacy and efficiency of a given multi-crystal automation pipeline.

Reconstructing secondary test database from PHM08 challenge data set.

Project description:In this data article, a reconstructed database, which provides information from PHM08 challenge data set, is presented. The original turbofan engine data were from the Prognostic Center of Excellence (PCoE) of NASA Ames Research Center (Saxena and Goebel, 2008), and were simulated by the Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) (Saxena et al., 2008). The data set is further divided into "training", "test" and "final test" subsets. It is expected from collaborators to train their models using "training" data subset, evaluate the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction performance on "test" subset and finally, apply the models to the "final test" subset for competition. However, the "final test" results can only be submitted once by email to PCoE. Before the results are sent for performance evaluation, in order to pre-validate the dataset with true RUL values, this data article introduces reconstructed secondary datasets derived from the noisy degradation patterns of original trajectories. Reconstructed database refers to data that were collected from the training trajectories. Fundamentally, it is formed of individual partial trajectories in which the RUL is known as a ground truth. Its use provides a robust validation of the model developed for the PHM08 data challenge that would otherwise be ambiguous due to the high-risk of one-time submission. These data and analyses support the research data article "A Neural Network Filtering Approach for Similarity-Based Remaining Useful Life Estimations" (Bektas et al., 2018).

Multi-set Pre-processing of Multicolor Flow Cytometry Data.

Project description:Flow Cytometry is an analytical technology to simultaneously measure multiple markers per single cell. Ten thousands to millions of single cells can be measured per sample and each sample may contain a different number of cells. All samples may be bundled together, leading to a 'multi-set' structure. Many multivariate methods have been developed for Flow Cytometry data but none of them considers this structure in their quantitative handling of the data. The standard pre-processing used by existing multivariate methods provides models mainly influenced by the samples with more cells, while such a model should provide a balanced view of the biomedical information within all measurements. We propose an alternative 'multi-set' preprocessing that corrects for the difference in number of cells measured, balancing the relative importance of each multi-cell sample in the data while using all data collected from these expensive analyses. Moreover, one case example shows how multi-set pre-processing may benefit removal of undesired measurement-to-measurement variability and another where class-based multi-set pre-processing enhances the studied response upon comparison to the control reference samples. Our results show that adjusting data analysis algorithms to consider this multi-set structure may greatly benefit immunological insight and classification performance of Flow Cytometry data.

MeshAndCollect: an automated multi-crystal data-collection workflow for synchrotron macromolecular crystallography beamlines.

Project description:Here, an automated procedure is described to identify the positions of many cryocooled crystals mounted on the same sample holder, to rapidly predict and rank their relative diffraction strengths and to collect partial X-ray diffraction data sets from as many of the crystals as desired. Subsequent hierarchical cluster analysis then allows the best combination of partial data sets, optimizing the quality of the final data set obtained. The results of applying the method developed to various systems and scenarios including the compilation of a complete data set from tiny crystals of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin and the collection of data sets for successful structure determination using the single-wavelength anomalous dispersion technique are also presented.

Integrative gene set analysis of multi-platform data with sample heterogeneity.

Project description:MotivationGene set analysis is a popular method for large-scale genomic studies. Because genes that have common biological features are analyzed jointly, gene set analysis often achieves better power and generates more biologically informative results. With the advancement of technologies, genomic studies with multi-platform data have become increasingly common. Several strategies have been proposed that integrate genomic data from multiple platforms to perform gene set analysis. To evaluate the performances of existing integrative gene set methods under various scenarios, we conduct a comparative simulation analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas breast cancer dataset.ResultsWe find that existing methods for gene set analysis are less effective when sample heterogeneity exists. To address this issue, we develop three methods for multi-platform genomic data with heterogeneity: two non-parametric methods, multi-platform Mann-Whitney statistics and multi-platform outlier robust T-statistics, and a parametric method, multi-platform likelihood ratio statistics. Using simulations, we show that the proposed multi-platform Mann-Whitney statistics method has higher power for heterogeneous samples and comparable performance for homogeneous samples when compared with the existing methods. Our real data applications to two datasets of The Cancer Genome Atlas also suggest that the proposed methods are able to identify novel pathways that are missed by other strategies.Availability and implementationhttp://www4.stat.ncsu.edu/∼jytzeng/Software/Multiplatform_gene_set_analysis/

ZOO: an automatic data-collection system for high-throughput structure analysis in protein microcrystallography.

Project description:Owing to the development of brilliant microfocus beamlines, rapid-readout detectors and sample changers, protein microcrystallography is rapidly becoming a popular technique for accessing structural information from complex biological samples. However, the method is time-consuming and labor-intensive and requires technical expertise to obtain high-resolution protein crystal structures. At SPring-8, an automated data-collection system named ZOO has been developed. This system enables faster data collection, facilitates advanced data-collection and data-processing techniques, and permits the collection of higher quality data. In this paper, the key features of the functionality put in place on the SPring-8 microbeam beamline BL32XU are described and the major advantages of this system are outlined. The ZOO system will be a major driving force in the evolution of the macromolecular crystallography beamlines at SPring-8.

Making a difference in multi-data-set crystallography: simple and deterministic data-scaling/selection methods.

Project description:Phasing by single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) from multiple crystallographic data sets can be particularly demanding because of the weak anomalous signal and possible non-isomorphism. The identification and exclusion of non-isomorphous data sets by suitable indicators is therefore indispensable. Here, simple and robust data-selection methods are described. A multi-dimensional scaling procedure is first used to identify data sets with large non-isomorphism relative to clusters of other data sets. Within each cluster that it identifies, further selection is based on the weighted ?CC1/2, a quantity representing the influence of a set of reflections on the overall CC1/2 of the merged data. The anomalous signal is further improved by optimizing the scaling protocol. The success of iterating the selection and scaling steps was verified by substructure determination and subsequent structure solution. Three serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) SAD test cases with hundreds of partial data sets and one test case with 62 complete data sets were analyzed. Structure solution was dramatically simplified with this procedure, and enabled solution of the structures after a few selection/scaling iterations. To explore the limits, the procedure was tested with much fewer data than originally required and could still solve the structure in several cases. In addition, an SSX data challenge, minimizing the number of (simulated) data sets necessary to solve the structure, was significantly underbid.

Microcrystallography using single-bounce monocapillary optics.

Project description:X-ray microbeams have become increasingly valuable in protein crystallography. A number of synchrotron beamlines worldwide have adapted to handling smaller and more challenging samples by providing a combination of high-precision sample-positioning hardware, special visible-light optics for sample visualization, and small-diameter X-ray beams with low background scatter. Most commonly, X-ray microbeams with diameters ranging from 50 microm to 1 microm are produced by Kirkpatrick and Baez mirrors in combination with defining apertures and scatter guards. A simple alternative based on single-bounce glass monocapillary X-ray optics is presented. The basic capillary design considerations are discussed and a practical and robust implementation that capitalizes on existing beamline hardware is presented. A design for mounting the capillary is presented which eliminates parasitic scattering and reduces deformations of the optic to a degree suitable for use on next-generation X-ray sources. Comparison of diffraction data statistics for microcrystals using microbeam and conventional aperture-collimated beam shows that capillary-focused beam can deliver significant improvement. Statistics also confirm that the annular beam profile produced by the capillary optic does not impact data quality in an observable way. Examples are given of new structures recently solved using this technology. Single-bounce monocapillary optics can offer an attractive alternative for retrofitting existing beamlines for microcrystallography.

Berkeley Screen: a set of 96 solutions for general macromolecular crystallization.

Project description:Using statistical analysis of the Biological Macromolecular Crystallization Database, combined with previous knowledge about crystallization reagents, a crystallization screen called the Berkeley Screen has been created. Correlating crystallization conditions and high-resolution protein structures, it is possible to better understand the influence that a particular solution has on protein crystal formation. Ions and small molecules such as buffers and precipitants used in crystallization experiments were identified in electron density maps, highlighting the role of these chemicals in protein crystal packing. The Berkeley Screen has been extensively used to crystallize target proteins from the Joint BioEnergy Institute and the Collaborative Crystallography program at the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology, contributing to several Protein Data Bank entries and related publications. The Berkeley Screen provides the crystallographic community with an efficient set of solutions for general macromolecular crystallization trials, offering a valuable alternative to the existing commercially available screens.

A multi-year data set on aerosol-cloud-precipitation-meteorology interactions for marine stratocumulus clouds.

Project description:Airborne measurements of meteorological, aerosol, and stratocumulus cloud properties have been harmonized from six field campaigns during July-August months between 2005 and 2016 off the California coast. A consistent set of core instruments was deployed on the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies Twin Otter for 113 flight days, amounting to 514 flight hours. A unique aspect of the compiled data set is detailed measurements of aerosol microphysical properties (size distribution, composition, bioaerosol detection, hygroscopicity, optical), cloud water composition, and different sampling inlets to distinguish between clear air aerosol, interstitial in-cloud aerosol, and droplet residual particles in cloud. Measurements and data analysis follow documented methods for quality assurance. The data set is suitable for studies associated with aerosol-cloud-precipitation-meteorology-radiation interactions, especially owing to sharp aerosol perturbations from ship traffic and biomass burning. The data set can be used for model initialization and synergistic application with meteorological models and remote sensing data to improve understanding of the very interactions that comprise the largest uncertainty in the effect of anthropogenic emissions on radiative forcing.

Multi-crystal anomalous diffraction for low-resolution macromolecular phasing.

Project description:Multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) and single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) are the two most commonly used methods for de novo determination of macromolecular structures. Both methods rely on the accurate extraction of anomalous signals; however, because of factors such as poor intrinsic order, radiation damage, inadequate anomalous scatterers, poor diffraction quality and other noise-causing factors, the anomalous signal from a single crystal is not always good enough for structure solution. In this study, procedures for extracting more accurate anomalous signals by merging data from multiple crystals are devised and tested. SAD phasing tests were made with a relatively large (1456 ordered residues) poorly diffracting (d(min) = 3.5?Å) selenomethionyl protein (20 Se). It is quantified that the anomalous signal, success in substructure determination and accuracy of phases and electron-density maps all improve with an increase in the number of crystals used in merging. Structure solutions are possible when no single crystal can support structural analysis. It is proposed that such multi-crystal strategies may be broadly useful when only weak anomalous signals are available.
