Transforming Glycoscience: A Roadmap for the Future The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern- ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem- bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis- ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in pro- viding services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

Timely detection of bacteremia is therefore critical to reduce patient mortality, but existing methods lack precision, speed, and sensitivity to effectively stratify bacteremic patients. Herein, we tested the potential of quantitative serum N-glycomics performed using porous graphitized carbon liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to stratify bacteremic patients infected with Escherichia coli (n = 11), Citation: Chatterjee, S.; Kawahara, Staphylococcus aureus (n = 11), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 5), and Streptococcus viridans (n = 5) from R.; Tjondro, H.C.; Shaw, D.R.; Nenke, healthy donors (n = 39).

  • Gene Discovery and Annotation Using LCM-454 Transcriptome Sequencing Scott J

More than 261,000 ESTs were generated by 454 Life Sciences from cDNA isolated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) from the developmentally important shoot apical meristem (SAM) of maize (Zea mays L.). This single sequencing run annotated >25,000 maize genomic sequences and also captured ∼400 expressed transcripts for which homologous sequences have not yet been identified in other species. Approximately 70% of the ESTs generated in this study had not been captured during a previous EST project conducted using a cDNA library constructed from hand-dissected apex tissue that is highly enriched for SAMs. In addition, at least 30% of the 454-ESTs do not align to any of the ∼648,000 extant maize ESTs using conservative alignment criteria. These results indicate that the combination of LCM and the deep sequencing possible with 454 technology enriches for SAM transcripts not present in current EST collections.

  • Monosaccharides and Their Derivatives in Carbonaceous Meteorites: a Scenario for Their Synthesis and Onset of Enantiomeric Excesses

Rios 1,2,* and Michel Nuevo 1,3 ID 1 NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA; [email protected] 2 Blue Marble Space, 1001 4th Ave, Ste 3201, Seattle, WA 98154, USA 3 Bay Area Environmental Research Institute, NASA Research Park, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (G.C.); [email protected] (A.C.R.) Received: 5 June 2018; Accepted: 22 August 2018; Published: 27 August 2018 Abstract: Carbonaceous meteorites provide the best glimpse into the solar system’s earliest physical and chemical processes. These ancient objects, ~4.56 billion years old, contain evidence of phenomena ranging from solar system formation to the synthesis of organic compounds by aqueous and (likely) low-temperature photolytic reactions. Collectively, chemical reactions resulted in an insoluble kerogen-like carbon phase and a complex mixture of discrete soluble compounds including amino acids, nucleobases, and monosaccharide (or “sugar”) derivatives. This review presents the documented search for sugars and their derivatives in carbonaceous meteorites. We examine early papers, published in the early 1960s, and note the analytical methods used for meteorite analysis as well as conclusions on the results. We then present the recent finding of sugar derivatives including sugar alcohols and several sugar acids: The latter compounds were found to possess unusual “D” enantiomeric (mirror-image) excesses. After discussions on the possible roles of interstellar grain chemistry and meteorite parent body aqueous activity in the synthesis of sugar derivatives, we present a scenario that suggests that most of Earth’s extraterrestrial sugar alcohols (e.g., glycerol) were synthesized by interstellar irradiation and/or cold grain chemistry and that the early solar disk was the location of the initial enantiomeric excesses in meteoritic sugar derivatives.

Automation of structure analysis then calls for software development since adding meaning to large data collections in reasonable time requires corresponding bioinformatics methods and tools. Current glycobioinformatics resources do cover information on the structure and function of glycans, their interaction with proteins or their enzymatic synthesis. However, this information is partial, scattered and often difficult to find to for non-glycobiologists. Methods: Following our diagnosis of the causes of the slow development of glycobioinformatics, we review the “objective” difficulties encountered in defining adequate formats for representing complex entities and developing efficient analysis software. Results: Various solutions already implemented and strategies defined to bridge glycobiology with different fields and integrate the heterogeneous glyco-related information are presented. Conclusions: Despite the initial stage of our integrative efforts, this paper highlights the rapid expansion of glycomics, the validity of existing resources and the bright future of glycobioinformatics.
