text: The hanging-drop network (HDN) is a technology platform based on a completely
open microfluidic network at the bottom of an inverted, surface-patterned substrate.
The platform is predominantly used for the formation, culturing, and interaction
of self-assembled spherical microtissues (spheroids) under precisely controlled
flow conditions. Here, we describe design, fabrication, and operation of microfluidic
hanging-drop networks.

text: 'Although cells respond specifically to environments, how environmental identity
is encoded intracellularly is not understood. Here, we study this organization
of information in budding yeast by estimating the mutual information between environmental
transitions and the dynamics of nuclear translocation for 10 transcription factors.
Our method of estimation is general, scalable, and based on decoding from single
cells. The dynamics of the transcription factors are necessary to encode the highest
amounts of extracellular information, and we show that information is transduced
through two channels: Generalists (Msn2/4, Tod6 and Dot6, Maf1, and Sfp1) can
encode the nature of multiple stresses, but only if stress is high; specialists
(Hog1, Yap1, and Mig1/2) encode one particular stress, but do so more quickly
and for a wider range of magnitudes. In particular, Dot6 encodes almost as much
information as Msn2, the master regulator of the environmental stress response.
Each transcription factor reports differently, and it is only their collective
behavior that distinguishes between multiple environmental states. Changes in
the dynamics of the localization of transcription factors thus constitute a precise,
distributed internal representation of extracellular change. We predict that such
multidimensional representations are common in cellular decision-making.'

text: 'Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically based recognition system that
functions to prevent self-fertilization and mating among related plants. An enduring
puzzle in SI is how the high diversity observed in nature arises and is maintained.
Based on the underlying recognition mechanism, SI can be classified into two main
groups: self- and non-self recognition. Most work has focused on diversification
within self-recognition systems despite expected differences between the two groups
in the evolutionary pathways and outcomes of diversification. Here, we use a deterministic
population genetic model and stochastic simulations to investigate how novel S-haplotypes
evolve in a gametophytic non-self recognition (SRNase/S Locus F-box (SLF)) SI
system. For this model the pathways for diversification involve either the maintenance
or breakdown of SI and can vary in the order of mutations of the female (SRNase)
and male (SLF) components. We show analytically that diversification can occur
with high inbreeding depression and self-pollination, but this varies with evolutionary
pathway and level of completeness (which determines the number of potential mating
partners in the population), and in general is more likely for lower haplotype
number. The conditions for diversification are broader in stochastic simulations
of finite population size. However, the number of haplotypes observed under high
inbreeding and moderate to high self-pollination is less than that commonly observed
in nature. Diversification was observed through pathways that maintain SI as well
as through self-compatible intermediates. Yet the lifespan of diversified haplotypes
was sensitive to their level of completeness. By examining diversification in
a non-self recognition SI system, this model extends our understanding of the
evolution and maintenance of haplotype diversity observed in a self recognition
system common in flowering plants.'

text: 'Recent developments in automated tracking allow uninterrupted, high-resolution
recording of animal trajectories, sometimes coupled with the identification of
stereotyped changes of body pose or other behaviors of interest. Analysis and
interpretation of such data represents a challenge: the timing of animal behaviors
may be stochastic and modulated by kinematic variables, by the interaction with
the environment or with the conspecifics within the animal group, and dependent
on internal cognitive or behavioral state of the individual. Existing models for
collective motion typically fail to incorporate the discrete, stochastic, and
internal-state-dependent aspects of behavior, while models focusing on individual
animal behavior typically ignore the spatial aspects of the problem. Here we propose
a probabilistic modeling framework to address this gap. Each animal can switch
stochastically between different behavioral states, with each state resulting
in a possibly different law of motion through space. Switching rates for behavioral
transitions can depend in a very general way, which we seek to identify from data,
on the effects of the environment as well as the interaction between the animals.
We represent the switching dynamics as a Generalized Linear Model and show that:
(i) forward simulation of multiple interacting animals is possible using a variant
of the Gillespie’s Stochastic Simulation Algorithm; (ii) formulated properly,
the maximum likelihood inference of switching rate functions is tractably solvable
by gradient descent; (iii) model selection can be used to identify factors that
modulate behavioral state switching and to appropriately adjust model complexity
to data. To illustrate our framework, we apply it to two synthetic models of animal
motion and to real zebrafish tracking data. '
