Optimal in silico target gene deletion through nonlinear programming for genetic engineering. by Chung-Chien Hong, Mingzhou Song

“…<h4>Background</h4>Optimal selection of multiple regulatory genes, known as targets, for deletion to enhance or suppress the activities of downstream genes or metabolites is an important problem in genetic engineering. Such problems become more feasible to address in silico due to the availability of more realistic dynamical system models of gene regulatory and metabolic networks. …”

Seasonal warming responses of the carbon dioxide sink from northern forests are sensitive to stand age by Peng Liu, Tianshan Zha, T. Andrew Black, Rachhpal S. Jassal, Xin Jia, Asko Noormets, Andrew Ouimette, Yun Tian, Xinhao Li

“…Abstract Northern forests (forests north of 30°N) are major terrestrial carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks, while rapid warming can disturb their CO2 sink function. Here we use multi-year net CO2 exchange observations from 65 northern forest sites to show that the increased net CO2 uptake during warmer springs was more pronounced in old forests (>90 years old) compared to young (<40 years old) and mid-aged (40–90 years old) forests. …”
