HT Model Dataset

This website contains the dataset that was used for writing the manuscript "HT Model: Using the Molecular Transformer for predicting hydrotreating reactions" (PNNL-SA-186589) The dataset includes a collection of hydrotreating reactions compiled from 41 peer-reviewed literature sources. These sources contain experimental data related to hydrotreating reactions. These reactions involve the reaction of chemical compounds with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to remove heteroatoms or to convert specific functional groups. The dataset contains reactions both with and without reaction conditions. Reaction conditions refer to the specific parameters under which the reaction takes place, such as temperature and pressure. For each reaction, the dataset includes both SMILES and SELFIES representations. SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) and SELFIES (SELF-referencIng Embedded Strings) are two popular notations used to represent chemical structures in a compact and standardized format. The dataset was created with the aim of training a predictive model, specifically using the Molecular Transformer architecture.

Data to Accompany: Expanding the access of wearable silicone wristbands in community-engaged research through best practices in data analysis and integration

Wearable silicone wristbands are a rapidly growing exposure assessment technology that offer researchers the ability to study previously inaccessible cohorts and have the potential to provide a more comprehensive picture of chemical exposure within diverse communities. However, there are no established best practices for analyzing the data within a study or across multiple studies, thereby limiting impact and access of these data for larger meta-analyses. We utilize data from three studies, from over 600 wristbands worn by participants in New York City and Eugene, Oregon, to present a first-of-its-kind manuscript detailing wristband data properties. We further discuss and provide concrete examples of key areas and considerations in common statistical modeling methods where best practices must be established to enable meta-analyses and integration of data from multiple studies. Finally, we detail important and challenging aspects of machine learning, meta-analysis, and data integration that researchers will face in order to extend beyond the limited scope of individual studies focused on specific populations.

Lipids represent a dynamic, yet stable pool of microbially-derived soil carbon. In Prep This data package consists of compound-specific 13C SIP-lipidomics data from a yearlong tracer incubation experiment designed to investigate microbial lipid persistence in switchgrass bioenergy crop soils. In order to explore how lipid structure may modulate the persistence of C in soil lipids, we leveraged soils from two sites (Michigan - sandy texture, Wisconsin - silty texture) operated by the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC). These sites had comparable climates, identical management practices, but contrasting soil textures, allowing us to assess the variability of lipid accrual or degradation in soils as well as provide insight regarding the degree to which edaphic properties may regulate the retention of soil lipids. Untargeted lipidomics analyses were performed to identify 13C-labeled lipids in the soil microbiome after long-term incubation. Soils were supplemented with 100 micrograms glucose per gram dry soil (99 atom % 13C or natural abundance for paired control) and incubated; samples were collected two months and one year after glucose addition. Lipid extracts (MPLEx) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and identified using LIQUID. Calculation of isotopic enrichment of lipids was performed by targeted approach using TarMet to quantify lipid isotopologues and IsoCorrectoR to correct for natural abundance isotopes.

Inter-Kingdom Viral Interactions

Please cite as : Josué A. Rodríguez-Ramos, Amy E. Zimmerman, Ruonan Wu, Sheryl Bell, Trinidad Alfaro, Kirsten Hofmockel, William C. Nelson. 2025. Inter-Kingdom Viral Interactions. [Data Set] PNNL DataHub. This data is published under a CC0 license. The authors encourage data reuse and request attribution by referencing the above citations for the data package and associated manuscript. Deciphering viral ecology in soils is challenging due to their high physiochemical and community complexity. To enhance detection of sub-communities of DNA and RNA viruses, we applied fractionation approaches to soils collected across a moisture gradient from a grassland field experiment. Analyses included metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of size-fractionated extracellular viruses (i.e., DNA and RNA viromes), metagenomics of bacteria/archaea- or eukaryote-enriched samples, and whole soil metatranscriptomes with rRNA-depletion or polyadenylation enrichment. While RNA virome and whole soil RNA methods captured similar viral diversity, RNA viromes identified longer, higher-quality genomes. Further, we showed that significantly more DNA viruses were active in higher moisture than lower moisture samples, whereas responses by overall diversity vary by genome type (DNA versus RNA genomes). Finally, we demonstrate the power of fractionation approaches for identifying distinct viral communities that infect unique hosts, which has significant implications for ecological investigations, particularly related to interkingdom interactions.

KBase Narrative - SOMATA - Motivating Example

A systems view in the biological context is a useful approach to study complex and potentially interacting systems. In this narrative (accompanying an associated manuscript), we take a systems view of software tools themselves. Instead of using software as a single tool, we demonstrate how users can approach software with the same mindset as the organisms they study; as a complex system that can be optimized based on one’s environment and goals. We demonstrate this idea with an example KBase narrative showing how application parameters in KBase tools can change how a researcher perceives and interacts with bioinformatics tools while conducting a common experimental scenario. In this scenario we are trying to understand how different chemical compounds in a growth media change the metabolic pathways utilized in Escherichia coli.

Evolution_and_engineering_of_pathways_for_aromatic_O-demethylation_in_Pseudomonas_putida_KT2440

Biological conversion of lignin from biomass offers a promising strategy for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. However,aromatic compoundsderived from lignin commonly contain methoxy groups, andO-demethylation of these substrates is often a rate-limiting reaction that influences catabolic efficiency. Severalenzymefamilies catalyze aromaticO-demethylation, but they are rarely comparedin vivoto determine an optimal biocatalytic strategy. Here, two pathways for aromaticO-demethylation were compared inPseudomonas putidaKT2440. The native Rieske non-heme ironmonooxygenase(VanAB) and, separately, a heterologous tetrahydrofolate-dependentdemethylase(LigM) were constitutively expressed inP. putida, and the strains were optimized via adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) withvanillateas a model substrate. All evolved strains displayed improved growth phenotypes, with the evolved strains harboring the native VanAB pathway exhibiting growth rates ∼1.8x faster than those harboring the heterologous LigM pathway.Enzyme kineticsandtranscriptomicsstudies investigated the contribution of selected mutations toward enhanced utilization of vanillate. The VanAB-overexpressing strains contained the most impactful mutations, including those in VanB, thereductasefor vanillateO-demethylase, PP_3494, a global regulator of vanillate catabolism, andfghA, involved in formaldehydedetoxification. These three mutations were combined into a single strain, which exhibited approximately 5x faster vanillate consumption than the wild-type strain in the first 8 h of cultivation. Overall, this study illuminates the details of vanillate catabolism in the context of two distinct enzymatic mechanisms,yielding a platform strain for efficientO-demethylation of lignin-related aromatic compounds to value-added products. This DOI contains supplementary material associated with the published manuscript.

Populus_trichocarpa_Breeding_Population_SNPs

These data are from the manuscript “Application of Genomic Prediction in a Populus trichocarpa Breeding Program”, by Brian J. Stanton, David Macaya-Sanz, Chanaka Roshan Abeyratne, David Kainer, Kathy Haiby, Austin Himes, Carlos Gantz, Gerald A. Tuskan, and Stephen P. DiFazio. The data are based on genome resequencing to approximately 10X depth on two collections of Populus trichocarpa trees from Oregon, Washington, California, and British Columbia. The first collection consists of 293 genets collected by Poplar Innovations LLC for a breeding program. The second collection consists of 961 trees collected for the purpose of genome-wide association studies. These genets were sequenced using short, paired-end Illumina sequence reads (Chhetri et al. 2019). Reads were aligned to the P. trichocarpa ′Stettler-14′ reference (Hofmeister et al. 2020), with minor modifications to correct mis-assemblies (Zhou et al. 2020), and variants were called as per methods described in (Abeyratne et al. 2023). Identified variants were filtered using GATK’s VariantFiltration tool (DePristo et al. 2011), with filter expression flag set to “AF < 0.01 || AF > 0.99 || QD < 10.0 || ExcessHet > 20.0 || FS > 10.0 || MQ < 58.0”. SNPs with severe departures from Hardy−Weinberg expectations (exact-test p< 0.01) were also removed using vcftools --hwe flag (Danecek et al. 2011), resulting in 15,627,211 bi-allelic SNPs. The data included here consist of 141,903 high quality bi-allelic genome-wide SNPs obtained by further filtering the original SNP dataset using vcftools with flags --maf 0.05, --max-maf 0.95, --max-missing 0.95, --min-meanDP 10.75, --max-meanDP 43.00, --thin 2000. Collectively, these filtering parameters removed SNPs with 1) a minor allele frequency ≤ 0.05; 2) proportion of missing data for individual loci exceeding 5%; 3) sequencing depth more than 2X mean-depth or less than 0.5X mean-depth; or 4) a distance of

Global Issues of Radiopharmaceutical Access and Availability: a Nuclear Medicine Global Initiative Project

The Nuclear Medicine Global Initiative (NMGI) was formed in 2012 by 13 international organizations to promote human health by advancing the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging by supporting the practice and application of nuclear medicine. The first project focused on standardization of administered activities in pediatric nuclear medicine and resulted in two manuscripts. For its second project the NMGI chose to explore issues impacting on access and availability of radiopharmaceuticals around the world. Methods: Information was obtained by survey responses from 35 countries on available radioisotopes, radiopharmaceuticals and kits for diagnostic and therapeutic use. Issues impacting on access and availability of radiopharmaceuticals in individual countries were also identified. Results: Detailed information on radiopharmaceuticals utilized in each country, and sources of supply, was evaluated. Responses highlighted problems in access particularly due to the reliance on a sole provider, regulatory issues and reimbursement, as well as issues of facilities and workforce particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Conclusion: Finally, strategies to address access and availability of radiopharmaceuticals are outlined, to enable timely and equitable patient access to nuclear medicine procedures worldwide. In the face of disruptions to global supply chains by the COVID-19 outbreak, renewed focus on ensuring reliable supply of radiopharmaceuticals is a major priority for nuclear medicine practice globally.

NukeLM: Pre-Trained and Fine-Tuned Language Models for the Nuclear and Energy Domains

Natural language processing (NLP) tasks (text classification, named entity recognition, etc.) have seen amazing improvements over the last few years. This is due to models such as BERT that achieve deep knowledge transfer by using a large pre-trained model, then fine-tuning the model on specific tasks. The BERT architecture has shown even better performance on domain-specific tasks when the model is pre-trained using domain-relevant texts. Here, inspired by these recent advancements, we have developed NukeLM, a nuclear-domain BERT model pre-trained on 1.5 million abstracts from the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) database. This NukeLM model is then fine-tuned for the classification of research articles into either binary classes (related to the nuclear fuel cycle (NFC) or not) or multiple categories related to the subject of the article. We show that continued pre-training of a BERT-style architecture prior to fine-tuning results in greater performance in both article classification tasks. This information is critical for properly triaging manuscripts, a necessary task for better understanding citation networks that publish in the nuclear space and uncovering new areas of research in the nuclear (or nuclear relevant) domain.

Multi-scale models of whole cells: progress and challenges

Whole-cell modeling is “the ultimate goal” of computational systems biology and “a grand challenge for 21st century”. These complex, highly detailed models account for the activity of every molecule in a cell and serve as comprehensive knowledgebases for the modeled system. Their scope and utility far surpass those of other systems models. In fact, whole-cell models (WCMs) are an amalgam of several types of “system” models. The models are simulated using a hybrid modeling method where the appropriate mathematical methods for each biological process are used to simulate their behavior. Given the complexity of the models, the process of developing and curating these models is labor-intensive and to date only a handful of these models have been developed. While whole-cell models provide valuable and novel biological insights, and to date have identified some novel biological phenomena, their most important contribution has been to highlight the discrepancy between available data and observations that are used for the parametrization and validation of complex biological models. Another realization has been that current whole-cell modeling simulators are slow and to run models that mimic more complex (e.g., multi-cellular) biosystems, those need to be executed in an accelerated fashion on high-performance computing platforms. In this manuscript, we review the progress of whole-cell modeling to date and discuss some of the ways that they can be improved.

Quantum Solvers for Plane-Wave Hamiltonians: Abridging Virtual Spaces Through the Optimization of Pairwise Correlations

For many-body methods such as MCSCF and CASSCF, in which the number of one-electron orbitals is optimized and independent of the basis set used, there are no problems with using plane-wave basis sets. However, for methods currently used in quantum computing such as select configuration interaction (CI) and coupled cluster (CC) methods, it is necessary to have a virtual space that is able to capture a significant amount of electron-electron correlation in the system. The virtual orbitals in a pseudopotential plane-wave Hartree–Fock calculation, because of Coulomb repulsion, are often scattering states that interact very weakly with the filled orbitals. As a result, very little correlation energy is captured from them. The use of virtual spaces derived from the one-electron operators has also been tried, and while some correlations are captured, the amount is quite low. To overcome these limitations, we have been developing new classes of algorithms to define virtual spaces by optimizing orbitals from small pairwise CI Hamiltonians, which we term as correlation optimized virtual orbitals with the abbreviation COVOs. With these procedures, we have been able to derive virtual spaces, containing only a few orbitals, which are able to capture a significant amount of correlation. The focus in this manuscript is on using these derived basis sets to target full CI (FCI) quality results for H2 on near-term quantum computers. However, the initial results for this approach were promising. We were able to obtain good agreement with FCI/cc-pVTZ results for this system with just 4 virtual orbitals, using both FCI and quantum simulations. The quality of the results using COVOs suggests that it may be possible to use them in other many-body approaches, including coupled cluster and Møller–Plesset perturbation theories, and open up the door to many-body calculations for pseudopotential plane-wave basis set methods.
