| 1 | Prediction of freestanding semiconducting bilayer borophenes显示文摘Supported bilayerα-borophene(BL-αborophene)on Ag(111)substrate has been synthesized in recent experiments.Based on the experimentally observed quasi-planar C_(6v)B_(36)(1),its monolayer assemblyα^(+)-borophene B_(11)(P6/mmm)(2),and extensive global minimum searches augmented with density functional theory calculations,we predict herein freestanding BL-α^(+)borophenes B_(22)(Cmmm)(3)and B_(22)(C2/m)(4)which,as the most stable BL borophenes reported to date,are composed of interwoven boron triple chains as boron analogs of monolayer graphene(5)consisting of interwoven carbon single chains.The nearly degenerate eclipsed B_(22)(3)and staggered B_(22)(4)with the hexagonal hole density ofη=1/12 and interlayer bonding density of u=1/4 appear to be two-dimensional semiconductors with the indirect band gaps of 0.952 and 1.144 eV,respectively.Detailed bonding analyses reveal one delocalized 12c-2eπbond over each hexagonal hole in both the B_(22)(3)and B_(22)(4),similar to the situation in monolayer graphene which contains one delocalized 6c-2eπbond over each C_(6)hexagon.Furthermore,these BL-α^(+)borophenes appear to remain highly stable on Ag(111)substrate,presenting the possibility to form supported BL-α+borophenes. | Yuan-Yuan Ma Xiao-Yun Zhao Wenyan Zan Yuewen Mu Zhuhua Zhang Si-Dian Li | 2022 | Nano Research2022，15，6： | 0 |
| 2 | Comparative Genomics Reveals Evolutionary Drivers of Sessile Life and Left-right Shell Asymmetry in Bivalves显示文摘Bivalves are species-rich mollusks with prominent protective roles in coastal ecosystems.Across these ancient lineages,colony-founding larvae anchor themselves either by byssus production or by cemented attachment.The latter mode of sessile life is strongly molded by left-right shell asymmetry during larval development of Ostreoida oysters such as Crassostrea hongkongensis.Here,we sequenced the genome of C.hongkongensis in high resolution and compared it to reference bivalve genomes to unveil genomic determinants driving cemented attachment and shell asymmetry.Importantly,loss of the homeobox gene Antennapedia(Antp)and broad expansion of lineagespecific extracellular gene families are implicated in a shift from byssal to cemented attachment in bivalves.Comparative transcriptomic analysis shows a conspicuous divergence between leftright asymmetrical C.hongkongensis and symmetrical Pinctada fucata in their expression profiles.Especially,a couple of orthologous transcription factor genes and lineage-specific shell-related gene families including that encoding tyrosinases are elevated,and may cooperatively govern asymmetrical shell formation in Ostreoida oysters. | Yang Zhang Fan Mao Shu Xiao Haiyan Yu Zhiming Xiang Fei Xu Jun Li Lili Wang Yuanyan Xiong Mengqiu Chen Yongbo Bao Yuewen Deng Quan Huo Lvping Zhang Wenguang Liu Xuming Li Haitao Ma Yuehuan Zhang Xiyu Mu Min Liu Hongkun Zheng Nai-Kei Wong Ziniu Yu | 2022 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2022，20，6： | 0 |
