Knowledge Map: Smart - Cultural City Singapore
(2018)This report compiles a “Knowledge Map” and “Management Summary” for the Goethe Institute Singapore (GI) on ideas, projects and actors of Smart Cities in Singapore. This report contributes to the discourse on urbanisation, in particular to the intersection and convergence of Smart Cities and Cultural Cities that emerge with the availability of social media data, technology and shifting mode of cultural production. The aim of this report ...Report -
A Gene Regulatory Model of Cortical Neurogenesis
(2018)bioRxivSparse data describing mouse cortical neurogenesis were used to derive a model gene regulatory network (GRN) that is then able to control the quantitative cellular dynamics of the observed neurogenesis. Derivation of the network begins by estimating from the biological data a set of cell states and transition probabilities necessary to explain neurogenesis. We show that the stochastic transition between states can be implemented by the ...Working Paper -
Different processes shape prokaryotic and picoeukaryotic assemblages in the sunlit ocean microbiome
(2018)bioRxivThe smallest members of the sunlit-ocean microbiome (prokaryotes and picoeukaryotes) participate in a plethora of ecosystem functions with planetary-scale effects. Understanding the processes determining the spatial turnover of this assemblage can help us better comprehend the links between microbiome species composition and ecosystem function. Ecological theory predicts that selection, dispersal and drift are main drivers of species ...Working Paper -
Attempts to implement CRISPR/Cas9 for genome editing in the oomycete Phytophthora infestans
(2018)bioRxivFew techniques have revolutionized the molecular biology field as much as genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9. Recently, a CRISPR/Cas9 system has been developed for Phytophthora sojae, and since then it has been employed in two other Phytophthora spp. Here, we report our progress on efforts to establish the system in Phytophthora infestans. Using the original constructs as developed for P. sojae, we did not obtain any transformants displaying ...Working Paper -
