--- _id: '7739' abstract: - lang: eng text: Currently, there is much debate on the genetic architecture of quantitative traits in wild populations. Is trait variation influenced by many genes of small effect or by a few genes of major effect? Where is additive genetic variation located in the genome? Do the same loci cause similar phenotypic variation in different populations? Great tits (Parus major) have been studied extensively in long‐term studies across Europe and consequently are considered an ecological ‘model organism’. Recently, genomic resources have been developed for the great tit, including a custom SNP chip and genetic linkage map. In this study, we used a suite of approaches to investigate the genetic architecture of eight quantitative traits in two long‐term study populations of great tits—one in the Netherlands and the other in the United Kingdom. Overall, we found little evidence for the presence of genes of large effects in either population. Instead, traits appeared to be influenced by many genes of small effect, with conservative estimates of the number of contributing loci ranging from 31 to 310. Despite concordance between population‐specific heritabilities, we found no evidence for the presence of loci having similar effects in both populations. While population‐specific genetic architectures are possible, an undetected shared architecture cannot be rejected because of limited power to map loci of small and moderate effects. This study is one of few examples of genetic architecture analysis in replicated wild populations and highlights some of the challenges and limitations researchers will face when attempting similar molecular quantitative genetic studies in free‐living populations. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Anna W. full_name: Santure, Anna W. last_name: Santure - first_name: Jocelyn full_name: Poissant, Jocelyn last_name: Poissant - first_name: Isabelle full_name: De Cauwer, Isabelle last_name: De Cauwer - first_name: Kees full_name: van Oers, Kees last_name: van Oers - first_name: Matthew Richard full_name: Robinson, Matthew Richard id: E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425 last_name: Robinson orcid: 0000-0001-8982-8813 - first_name: John L. full_name: Quinn, John L. last_name: Quinn - first_name: Martien A.

These social effects may play a major role in the evolution of cooperative breeding if social partners differ in the quality of care they provide and if individual carers adjust their effort in relation to that of other carers. When applying social effects models to wild study systems, it is also important to explore sources of individual plasticity that could masquerade as social effects. We studied offspring provisioning rates of parents and helpers in a wild population of long-tailed tits Aegithalos caudatus using a quantitative genetic framework to identify these social effects and partition them into genetic, permanent environment and current environment components. Controlling for other effects, individuals were consistent in their provisioning effort at a given nest, but adjusted their effort based on who was in their social group, indicating the presence of social effects. However, these social effects differed between years and social contexts, indicating a current environment effect, rather than indicating a genetic or permanent environment effect. While this study reveals the importance of examining environmental and genetic sources of social effects, the framework we present is entirely general, enabling a greater understanding of potentially important social effects within any ecological population. article_number: '20150689' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Mark James full_name: Adams, Mark James last_name: Adams - first_name: Matthew Richard full_name: Robinson, Matthew Richard id: E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425 last_name: Robinson orcid: 0000-0001-8982-8813 - first_name: Maria-Elena full_name: Mannarelli, Maria-Elena last_name: Mannarelli - first_name: Ben J. full_name: Hatchwell, Ben J. last_name: Hatchwell citation: ama: 'Adams MJ, Robinson MR, Mannarelli M-E, Hatchwell BJ.

Here we find that many independent loci contribute to population genetic differences in height and body mass index (BMI) in 9,416 individuals across 14 European countries. Using discovery data on over 250,000 individuals and unbiased effect size estimates from 17,500 sibling pairs, we estimate that 24% (95% credible interval (CI) = 9%, 41%) and 8% (95% CI = 4%, 16%) of the captured additive genetic variance for height and BMI, respectively, reflect population genetic differences. Population genetic divergence differed significantly from that in a null model (height, P < 3.94 × 10−8; BMI, P < 5.95 × 10−4), and we find an among-population genetic correlation for tall and slender individuals (r = −0.80, 95% CI = −0.95, −0.60), consistent with correlated selection for both phenotypes. Observed differences in height among populations reflected the predicted genetic means (r = 0.51; P < 0.001), but environmental differences across Europe masked genetic differentiation for BMI (P < 0.58). article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Matthew Richard full_name: Robinson, Matthew Richard id: E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425 last_name: Robinson orcid: 0000-0001-8982-8813 - first_name: Gibran full_name: Hemani, Gibran last_name: Hemani - first_name: Carolina full_name: Medina-Gomez, Carolina last_name: Medina-Gomez - first_name: Massimo full_name: Mezzavilla, Massimo last_name: Mezzavilla - first_name: Tonu full_name: Esko, Tonu last_name: Esko - first_name: Konstantin full_name: Shakhbazov, Konstantin last_name: Shakhbazov - first_name: Joseph E full_name: Powell, Joseph E last_name: Powell - first_name: Anna full_name: Vinkhuyzen, Anna last_name: Vinkhuyzen - first_name: Sonja I full_name: Berndt, Sonja I last_name: Berndt - first_name: Stefan full_name: Gustafsson, Stefan last_name: Gustafsson - first_name: Anne E full_name: Justice, Anne E last_name: Justice - first_name: Bratati full_name: Kahali, Bratati last_name: Kahali - first_name: Adam E full_name: Locke, Adam E last_name: Locke - first_name: Tune H full_name: Pers, Tune H last_name: Pers - first_name: Sailaja full_name: Vedantam, Sailaja last_name: Vedantam - first_name: Andrew R full_name: Wood, Andrew R last_name: Wood - first_name: Wouter full_name: van Rheenen, Wouter last_name: van Rheenen - first_name: Ole A full_name: Andreassen, Ole A last_name: Andreassen - first_name: Paolo full_name: Gasparini, Paolo last_name: Gasparini - first_name: Andres full_name: Metspalu, Andres last_name: Metspalu - first_name: Leonard H van den full_name: Berg, Leonard H van den last_name: Berg - first_name: Jan H full_name: Veldink, Jan H last_name: Veldink - first_name: Fernando full_name: Rivadeneira, Fernando last_name: Rivadeneira - first_name: Thomas M full_name: Werge, Thomas M last_name: Werge - first_name: Goncalo R full_name: Abecasis, Goncalo R last_name: Abecasis - first_name: Dorret I full_name: Boomsma, Dorret I last_name: Boomsma - first_name: Daniel I full_name: Chasman, Daniel I last_name: Chasman - first_name: Eco J C full_name: de Geus, Eco J C last_name: de Geus - first_name: Timothy M full_name: Frayling, Timothy M last_name: Frayling - first_name: Joel N full_name: Hirschhorn, Joel N last_name: Hirschhorn - first_name: Jouke Jan full_name: Hottenga, Jouke Jan last_name: Hottenga - first_name: Erik full_name: Ingelsson, Erik last_name: Ingelsson - first_name: Ruth J F full_name: Loos, Ruth J F last_name: Loos - first_name: Patrik K E full_name: Magnusson, Patrik K E last_name: Magnusson - first_name: Nicholas G full_name: Martin, Nicholas G last_name: Martin - first_name: Grant W full_name: Montgomery, Grant W last_name: Montgomery - first_name: Kari E full_name: North, Kari E last_name: North - first_name: Nancy L full_name: Pedersen, Nancy L last_name: Pedersen - first_name: Timothy D full_name: Spector, Timothy D last_name: Spector - first_name: Elizabeth K full_name: Speliotes, Elizabeth K last_name: Speliotes - first_name: Michael E full_name: Goddard, Michael E last_name: Goddard - first_name: Jian full_name: Yang, Jian last_name: Yang - first_name: Peter M full_name: Visscher, Peter M last_name: Visscher citation: ama: Robinson MR, Hemani G, Medina-Gomez C, et al.

Unfortunately, even the best performing implementations do not scale past a number of threads in the single digits. This is because of the sequential bottleneck in accessing the elements at the head of the queue in order to perform a DeleteMin operation. In this paper, we present the SprayList, a scalable priority queue with relaxed ordering semantics. Starting from a non-blocking SkipList, the main innovation behind our design is that the DeleteMin operations avoid a sequential bottleneck by "spraying" themselves onto the head of the SkipList list in a coordinated fashion. The spraying is implemented using a carefully designed random walk, so that DeleteMin returns an element among the first O(plog3p) in the list, with high probability, where p is the number of threads. We prove that the running time of a DeleteMin operation is O(log3p), with high probability, independent of the size of the list. Our experiments show that the relaxed semantics allow the data structure to scale for high thread counts, comparable to a classic unordered SkipList. Furthermore, we observe that, for reasonably parallel workloads, the scalability benefits of relaxation considerably outweigh the additional work due to out-of-order execution. acknowledgement: "Support is gratefully acknowledged from the National Science Foundation under grants CCF-1217921, CCF-1301926, and IIS-1447786, the Department of Energy under grant ER26116/DE-SC0008923, and the Oracle\r\nand Intel corporations." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Justin full_name: Kopinsky, Justin last_name: Kopinsky - first_name: Jerry full_name: Li, Jerry last_name: Li - first_name: Nir full_name: Shavit, Nir last_name: Shavit citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Kopinsky J, Li J, Shavit N.

Inflammatory processes are often associated with an increased production of serotonin, which operates by activating specific receptors. However, the functional role of serotonin receptors in regulation of dendritic cell functions is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that expression of serotonin receptor 5-HT7 (5-HT7TR) as well as its downstream effector Cdc42 is upregulated in dendritic cells upon maturation. Although dendritic cell maturation was independent of 5-HT7TR, receptor stimulation affected dendritic cell morphology through Cdc42-mediated signaling. In addition, basal activity of 5-HT7TR was required for the proper expression of the chemokine receptor CCR7, which is a key factor that controls dendritic cell migration. Consistent with this, we observed that 5-HT7TR enhances chemotactic motility of dendritic cells in vitro by modulating their directionality and migration velocity. Accordingly, migration of dendritic cells in murine colon explants was abolished after pharmacological receptor inhibition. Our results indicate that there is a crucial role for 5-HT7TR-Cdc42-mediated signaling in the regulation of dendritic cell morphology and motility, suggesting that 5-HT7TR could be a new target for treatment of a variety of inflammatory and immune disorders. author: - first_name: Katrin full_name: Holst, Katrin last_name: Holst - first_name: Daria full_name: Guseva, Daria last_name: Guseva - first_name: Susann full_name: Schindler, Susann last_name: Schindler - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Armin full_name: Braun, Armin last_name: Braun - first_name: Himpriya full_name: Chopra, Himpriya last_name: Chopra - first_name: Oliver full_name: Pabst, Oliver last_name: Pabst - first_name: Evgeni full_name: Ponimaskin, Evgeni last_name: Ponimaskin citation: ama: Holst K, Guseva D, Schindler S, et al.

We introduce conservative approximations of these objectives, where the payoff is considered over a local finite window sliding along a play, instead of the whole play. For single dimension, we show that (i) if the window size is polynomial, deciding the winner takes polynomial time, and (ii) the existence of a bounded window can be decided in NP ∩ coNP, and is at least as hard as solving mean-payoff games.

We study the most fundamental objective for concurrent games, namely, mean-payoff or limit-average objective, where a reward is associated to each transition, and the goal of player 1 is to maximize the long-run average of the rewards, and the objective of player 2 is strictly the opposite (i.e., the games are zero-sum). The path constraint for player 1 could be qualitative, i.e., the mean-payoff is the maximal reward, or arbitrarily close to it; or quantitative, i.e., a given threshold between the minimal and maximal reward. We consider the computation of the almost-sure (resp. positive) winning sets, where player 1 can ensure that the path constraint is satisfied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability). Almost-sure winning with qualitative constraint exactly corresponds to the question of whether there exists a strategy to ensure that the payoff is the maximal reward of the game. Our main results for qualitative path constraints are as follows: (1) we establish qualitative determinacy results that show that for every state either player 1 has a strategy to ensure almost-sure (resp. positive) winning against all player-2 strategies, or player 2 has a spoiling strategy to falsify almost-sure (resp. positive) winning against all player-1 strategies; (2) we present optimal strategy complexity results that precisely characterize the classes of strategies required for almost-sure and positive winning for both players; and (3) we present quadratic time algorithms to compute the almost-sure and the positive winning sets, matching the best known bound of the algorithms for much simpler problems (such as reachability objectives). For quantitative constraints we show that a polynomial time solution for the almost-sure or the positive winning set would imply a solution to a long-standing open problem (of solving the value problem of turn-based deterministic mean-payoff games) that is not known to be solvable in polynomial time.' arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Rasmus full_name: Ibsen-Jensen, Rasmus id: 3B699956-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibsen-Jensen orcid: 0000-0003-4783-0389 citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Ibsen-Jensen R.

Previous studies uncovered EIN2 as an essential signal transducer linking ethylene perception on ER to transcriptional regulation in the nucleus through a “cleave and shuttle” model. In this study, we report another mechanism of EIN2-mediated ethylene signaling, whereby EIN2 imposes the translational repression of EBF1 and EBF2 mRNA. We find that the EBF1/2 3′ UTRs mediate EIN2-directed translational repression and identify multiple poly-uridylates (PolyU) motifs as functional cis elements of 3′ UTRs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ethylene induces EIN2 to associate with 3′ UTRs and target EBF1/2 mRNA to cytoplasmic processing-body (P-body) through interacting with multiple P-body factors, including EIN5 and PABs. Our study illustrates translational regulation as a key step in ethylene signaling and presents mRNA 3′ UTR functioning as a “signal transducer” to sense and relay cellular signaling in plants. author: - first_name: Wenyang full_name: Li, Wenyang last_name: Li - first_name: Mengdi full_name: Ma, Mengdi last_name: Ma - first_name: Ying full_name: Feng, Ying last_name: Feng - first_name: Hongjiang full_name: Li, Hongjiang id: 33CA54A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Li orcid: 0000-0001-5039-9660 - first_name: Yichuan full_name: Wang, Yichuan last_name: Wang - first_name: Yutong full_name: Ma, Yutong last_name: Ma - first_name: Mingzhe full_name: Li, Mingzhe last_name: Li - first_name: Fengying full_name: An, Fengying last_name: An - first_name: Hongwei full_name: Guo, Hongwei last_name: Guo citation: ama: Li W, Ma M, Feng Y, et al.

The algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph. We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known that the control-flow graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let n denote the number of nodes of a graph, m the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs m = O ( n ) ) and W the largest absolute value of the weights. Our main theoretical results are as follows. First, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that approximates the mean-payoff value within a mul- tiplicative factor of ∊ in time O ( n · log( n/∊ )) and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms that require quadratic time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm that for constant treewidth graphs works in time O ( n · log( | a · b · n | )) = O ( n · log( n · W )) , when the output is a b , as compared to the previously best known algorithm with running time O ( n 2 · log( n · W )) . Third, for the minimum initial credit problem we show that (i) for general graphs the problem can be solved in O ( n 2 · m ) time and the associated decision problem can be solved in O ( n · m ) time, improving the previous known O ( n 3 · m · log( n · W )) and O ( n 2 · m ) bounds, respectively; and (ii) for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that requires O ( n · log n ) time, improving the previous known O ( n 4 · log( n · W )) bound. We have implemented some of our algorithms and show that they present a significant speedup on standard benchmarks. alternative_title: - IST Austria Technical Report author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Rasmus full_name: Ibsen-Jensen, Rasmus id: 3B699956-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibsen-Jensen orcid: 0000-0003-4783-0389 - first_name: Andreas full_name: Pavlogiannis, Andreas id: 49704004-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pavlogiannis orcid: 0000-0002-8943-0722 citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Ibsen-Jensen R, Pavlogiannis A.

DEC-POMDPs have been studied with finite-horizon and infinite-horizon discounted-sum objectives, and there exist solvers both for exact and approximate solutions. In this work we consider Goal-DEC-POMDPs, where given a set of target states, the objective is to ensure that the target set is reached with minimal cost. We consider the indefinite-horizon (infinite-horizon with either discounted-sum, or undiscounted-sum, where absorbing goal states have zero-cost) problem.

While weighted automata over finite and infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative properties, perhaps surprisingly, some basic system properties such as average response time cannot be expressed using weighted automata, nor in any other know decidable formalism. In this work, we introduce nested weighted automata as a natural extension of weighted automata which makes it possible to express important quantitative properties such as average response time.\r\nIn nested weighted automata, a master automaton spins off and collects results from weighted slave automata, each of which computes a quantity along a finite portion of an infinite word. Nested weighted automata can be viewed as the quantitative analogue of monitor automata, which are used in run-time verification. We establish an almost complete decidability picture for the basic decision problems about nested weighted automata, and illustrate their applicability in several domains.

Let $n$ denote the number of nodes of a graph, $m$ the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs $m=O(n)$) and $W$ the largest absolute value of the weights.\r\nOur main theoretical results are as follows.\r\nFirst, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that approximates the mean-payoff value within a multiplicative factor of $\\epsilon$ in time $O(n \\cdot \\log (n/\\epsilon))$ and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms that require quadratic time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm that for constant treewidth graphs works in time $O(n \\cdot \\log (|a\\cdot b|))=O(n\\cdot\\log (n\\cdot W))$, when the output is $\\frac{a}{b}$, as compared to the previously best known algorithm with running time $O(n^2 \\cdot \\log (n\\cdot W))$. Third, for the minimum initial credit problem we show that (i)~for general graphs the problem can be solved in $O(n^2\\cdot m)$ time and the associated decision problem can be solved in $O(n\\cdot m)$ time, improving the previous known $O(n^3\\cdot m\\cdot \\log (n\\cdot W))$ and $O(n^2 \\cdot m)$ bounds, respectively; and (ii)~for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that requires $O(n\\cdot \\log n)$ time, improving the previous known $O(n^4 \\cdot \\log (n \\cdot W))$ bound.\r\nWe have implemented some of our algorithms and show that they present a significant speedup on standard benchmarks.

The edit distance generalizes to languages L1, L2, where the edit distance is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem between pushdown automata and their subclasses.\r\nThe problem of computing edit distance to a pushdown automaton is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation, a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification). In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is at most k.

The problem turns out to relate to many fields of mathematics and computer science, and its decidability question is surprisingly hard to solve. We solve the finite version of the problem, and show the hardness of the infinite version, linking it to various areas and open problems in mathematics and computer science: β-expansions, discounted-sum automata, piecewise affine maps, and generalizations of the Cantor set. We provide some partial results to the infinite version, among which are solutions to its restriction to eventually-periodic sequences and to the cases that λ λ 1/2 or λ = 1/n, for every n ε N. We use our results for solving some open problems on discounted-sum automata, among which are the exact-value problem for nondeterministic automata over finite words and the universality and inclusion problems for functional automata.

The structure of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs. The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom for payoff in the context of evolution. The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual of the population. The fitness (or the reproductive rate) is a non-negative number, and depends on the payoff. A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals. The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results are as follows: First, we consider a special case of the general problem, where the residents do not reproduce. We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete, and the quantitative approximation question is #P-complete, and the hardness results hold even in the special case where the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide. Second, we show that in general both the qualitative and the quantitative approximation questions are PSPACE-complete. The PSPACE-hardness result for quantitative approximation holds even when the fitness is always positive.' alternative_title: - IST Austria Technical Report author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Rasmus full_name: Ibsen-Jensen, Rasmus id: 3B699956-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibsen-Jensen orcid: 0000-0003-4783-0389 - first_name: Martin full_name: Nowak, Martin last_name: Nowak citation: ama: Chatterjee K, Ibsen-Jensen R, Nowak M.
