AbstractMitochondrial genome encodes handful genes of respiratory chain complexes, whereas all the remaining mitochondrial proteins are encoded on the nuclear genome. However, the mechanisms coordinating these two genomes to control mitochondrial biogenesis remain largely unknown. To identify transcription circuits involved in these processes, we performed a candidate RNAi screen in developing eyes that had reduced mitochondrial DNA contents.

Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), a laser altimetry satellite launched by NASA,  produces high resolution lidar point data of the 3D structure of the earth such as canopy height and surface elevation. Data from this mission provides valuable sources for modeling and prediction of canopy height or biomass, which are important in forest management and carbon cycling studies.

Aboveground biomass is a crucial ecological variable for understanding the carbon cycle and assessing ecosystem productivities. Optical satellite remote sensing imagery, such as Landsat, proves invaluable in mapping land cover and identifying forest locations. Additionally, the altimeter sensors, like the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), a lidar mission launched by NASA, provide vertical measurements of forests, enhancing our understand of the Earth.

When conducting analysis using imagery over a large area and an extended period, the initial step always involves aggregating the data into either an image composite or an image cube with a specified time interval. The support of STAC in ArcGIS Pro 3.2 facilitates working with various STAC-compliant datasets in the cloud, such as the open datasets in AWS or Microsoft Planetary Computer.
