Metabolite structure identification has become the major bottleneck of the mass spectrometry based metabolomics research. Till now, number of mass spectra databases and search algorithms have been developed to address this issue. However, two critical problems still exist: the low chemical component record coverage in databases and significant MS/MS spectra variations related to experiment equipment and parameter settings. In this work, we considered the molecule fragment as basic building blocks of the metabolic components which had relatively consistent signatures in MS/MS spectra. And from a bottom-up point of view, we built a fragment centered database, MSFragDB, by reorganizing the data from the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) and developed an intensity-free searching algorithm to search and rank the most relative metabolite according to the users input. We also proposed the concept of fragment network, a graph structure that encoded the relationship between the molecule fragments to find close motif that indicated a specific chemical structure. Although based on the same dataset as the HMDB, validation results implied that the MSFragDB had a higher hit ratio and furthermore, estimated possible taxonomy that a query spectrum belongs to when the corresponding chemical component was missing in the database. Aid by the Fragment Network, the MSFragDB was also proved to be able to estimate the right structure while the MS/MS spectrum suffers from the precursor-contamination. The strategy proposed is general and can be adopted in existing databases. We believe MSFragDB and Fragment Network can improve the performance of structure identification with existing data. The beta version of the database is freely available at www.xrzhanglab.com/msfragdb/.

This paper presents a method to identify substructures in NMR spectra of mixtures, specifically 2D spectra, using a bespoke image-based Convolutional Neural Network application. This is done using HSQC and HMBC spectra separately and in combination. The application can reliably detect substructures in pure compounds, using a simple network. It can work for mixtures when trained on pure compounds only. HMBC data and the combination of HMBC and HSQC show better results than HSQC alone.
We preprocess the raw NMR spectrum and extract key characteristic features by using two different methodologies, called equidistant sampling and peak sampling for subsequent substructure pattern recognition; meanwhile may provide the alternative strategy to address the imbalance issue of the NMR dataset frequently encountered in dataset collection of statistical modeling and establish two conventional SVM and KNN models to assess the capability of two feature selection, respectively. Our results in this study show that the models using the selected features of peak sampling outperform the ones using the other. Then we build the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model trained by Data B collected from peak sampling. Furthermore, we illustrate the easier optimization of hyper parameters and the better generalization ability of the RNN deep learning model by comparison with traditional machine learning SVM and KNN models in detail.
Kinetic energies of light fragments A <= 10 from the decay of target spectators in 197Au 197Au collisions at 1000 MeV per nucleon have been measured with high-resolution telescopes at backward angles. Except for protons and apart from the observed evaporation components, the kinetic-energy spectra exhibit slope temperatures of about 17 MeV, independent of the particle species, but not corresponding to the thermal or chemical degrees of freedom at breakup. It is suggested that these slope temperatures may reflect the intrinsic Fermi motion and thus the bulk density of the spectator system at the instant of becoming unstable. PACS numbers: 25.70.Pq, 21.65.+f, 25.70.Mn
Complex biological functions are carried out by the interaction of genes and proteins. Uncovering the gene regulation network behind a function is one of the central themes in biology. Typically, it involves extensive experiments of genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology. In this paper, we show that much of the inference task can be accomplished by a deep neural network (DNN), a form of machine learning or artificial intelligence. Specifically, the DNN learns from the dynamics of the gene expression. The learnt DNN behaves like an accurate simulator of the system, on which one can perform in-silico experiments to reveal the underlying gene network. We demonstrate the method with two examples: biochemical adaptation and the gap-gene patterning in fruit fly embryogenesis. In the first example, the DNN can successfully find the two basic network motifs for adaptation - the negative feedback and the incoherent feed-forward. In the second and much more complex example, the DNN can accurately predict behaviors of essentially all the mutants. Furthermore, the regulation network it uncovers is strikingly similar to the one inferred from experiments. In doing so, we develop methods for deciphering the gene regulation network hidden in the DNN black box. Our interpretable DNN approach should have broad applications in genotype-phenotype mapping.
Correlation functions, constructed from directional projections of the relative velocities of fragments, are used to determine the shape of the breakup volume in coordinate space. For central collisions of 129Xe + natSn at 50 MeV per nucleon incident energy, measured with the 4pi multi-detector INDRA at GSI, a prolate shape aligned along the beam direction with an axis ratio of 1:0.7 is deduced. The sensitivity of the method is discussed in comparison with conventional fragment-fragment velocity correlations.
