Three Generations of NARCliM : Evaluation of Precipitation, Temperature and Their Extremes Over the CORDEX Australasia DomainNARA Subscribed
The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) is the latest generation of regional climate modelling project, building on the success of NARCliM versions 1.0 and 1.5. Evaluating and comparing the three generations is crucial to ensure scientific credibility, improve model skill, enhance understanding of climate processes, and provide reliable information for climate risk assessment and adaptation p...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Chung-Jansen syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, behavioral problems, obesity and dysmorphic features. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the PHIP gene that encodes for the Pleckstrin homology domain-interacting protein, which is part of an epigenetic modifier protein complex. Therefore, we hypothesized that PHIP haploinsufficiency may impact genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm...
OME-Zarr: a cloud-optimized bioimaging file format with international community supportNARA Subscribed
A growing community is constructing a next-generation file format (NGFF) for bioimaging to overcome problems of scalability and heterogeneity. Organized by the Open Microscopy Environment (OME), individuals and institutes across diverse modalities facing these problems have designed a format specification process (OME-NGFF) to address these needs. This paper brings together a wide range of those community members to describe t...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in vervet monkeysNARA Subscribed
DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging have been developed for many mammals but not yet for the vervet monkey ( Chlorocebus sabaeus ), which is a valuable non-human primate model for biomedical studies. We generated novel DNA methylation data from vervet cerebral cortex, blood, and liver using highly conserved mammalian CpGs represented on a custom array (HorvathMammalMethylChip40). We present six DNA methylation-based esti...
Integrating stomatal physiology and morphology: evolution of stomatal control and development of future cropsNARA Subscribed
Stomata are central players in the hydrological and carbon cycles, regulating the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) for photosynthesis and transpirative loss of water (H 2 O) between plants and the atmosphere. The necessity to balance water-loss and CO 2 -uptake has played a key role in the evolution of plants, and is increasingly important in a hotter and drier world. The conductance of CO 2 and water vapour across the leaf su...
Biogeochemical processes in fjords are likely affected by changes in surrounding glacier cover but very little is known about how meltwater directly influences dissolved organic matter (DOM) in fjords. Moreover, the data available are restricted to a handful of northern hemisphere sites. Here we analyze seasonal and spatial variation in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration and DOM composition (spectrofluorescence, ultr...
