Comprehensive E. coli Diversity Profiling
To cover a large portion of the known bacterial diversity within this species (Table S2), a total of 462 E. coli strains from multiple healthy and diseased sources were investigated. We scored as pathogenic those bacteria isolated from diseased hosts or with known virulence determinants (see bottom of Table S2) and all others as non-pathogens. One focus of the collection consisted of pathogens from both humans and domesticated animals that had been classified as EHEC (41 isolates), EPEC (20), EAEC (9), or ETEC (20) on the basis of virulence determinants (Nataro and Kaper, 1998 (link)) or APEC (13) on the basis of typical disease in domesticated animals. To add geographical as well as host diversity, and to expand the numbers of non-pathogens, the collection included all 72 isolates from the ECOR collection (Ochman and Selander, 1984 (link)), 15 isolates that represent the known diversity of E. coli from healthy wild mammals in Australia (Gordon et al., 2002 (link)) and 114 isolates from patients with diarrhoea in Ghana plus their close contacts including food handlers. We also included 61 Shigella from all known serotypes and species, 38 EIEC of different serotypes and 46 isolates from a variety of clonal groupings that express the K1 capsular polysaccharide (Achtman and Pluschke, 1986 (link)). Additional details including geographic origin are in Table S2.
Sequence-based phylogenetic analysis showed that two E. coli isolates (isolates RL325/96 and Z205 from a dog and a parrot respectively) differed markedly from the remaining isolates (Fig. 2). These strains clearly belong to E. coli according to biochemical, serological and metabolic typing schemes and by 16S rDNA sequences. Based on the MLST data, they represent the deepest known evolutionary lineages in this species. Because of their extensive sequence divergence from the vast majority of E. coli strains, they were excluded from subsequent analysis.

Full-Length Transcript Sequencing in Cattle
The Iso-Seq method for sequencing full-length transcripts was developed by PacBio during the same time period as the genome assembly. We therefore used this technique to improve characterization of transcript isoforms expressed in cattle tissues using a diverse set of tissues collected from L1 Dominette 0 1449 upon euthanasia. The data were collected using an early version of the Iso-Seq library protocol [26 ] as suggested by PacBio. Briefly, RNA was extracted from each tissue using Trizol reagent as directed (Thermo Fisher). Then 2 μg of RNA were selected for PolyA tails and converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using the SMARTer PCR cDNA Synthesis Kit (Clontech). The cDNA was amplified in bulk with 12–14 rounds of PCR in 8 separate reactions, then pooled and size-selected into 1–2, 2–3, and 3–6 kb fractions using the BluePippin instrument (Sage Science). Each size fraction was separately re-amplified in 8 additional reactions of 11 PCR cycles. The products for each size fraction amplification were pooled and purified using AMPure PB beads (Pacific Biosciences) as directed, and converted to SMRTbell libraries using the Template Prep Kit v1.0 (PacBio) as directed. Iso-Seq was conducted for 22 tissues including abomasum, aorta, atrium, cerebral cortex, duodenum, hypothalamus, jejunum, liver, longissimus dorsi muscle, lung, lymph node, mammary gland, medulla oblongata, omasum, reticulum, rumen, subcutaneous fat, temporal cortex, thalamus, uterine myometrium, and ventricle from the reference cow, as well as the testis of her sire. The size fractions were sequenced in either 4 (for the smaller 2 fractions) or 5 (for the largest fraction) SMRTcells on the RS II instrument. Isoforms were identified using the Cupcake ToFU pipeline [27 ] without using a reference genome.
Short-read–based RNA-seq data derived from tissues of Dominette were available in the GenBank database because her tissues have been a freely distributed resource for the research community. To complement and extend these data and to ensure that the tissues used for Iso-Seq were also represented by RNA-seq data for quantitative analysis and confirmation of isoforms observed in Iso-Seq, we generated additional data, avoiding overlap with existing public data. Specifically, the TruSeq stranded mRNA LT kit (Illumina, Inc.) was used as directed to create RNA-seq libraries, which were sequenced to ≥30 million reads for each tissue sample. The Dominette tissues that were sequenced in this study include abomasum, anterior pituitary, aorta, atrium, bone marrow, cerebellum, duodenum, frontal cortex, hypothalamus, KPH fat (internal organ fat taken from the covering on the kidney capsule), lung, lymph node, mammary gland (lactating), medulla oblongata, nasal mucosa, omasum, reticulum, rumen, subcutaneous fat, temporal cortex, thalamus, uterine myometrium, and ventricle. RNA-seq libraries were also sequenced from the testis of her sire. All public datasets, and the newly sequenced RNA-seq and Iso-Seq datasets, were used to annotate the assembly, to improve the representation of low-abundance and tissue-specific transcripts, and to properly annotate potential tissue-specific isoforms of each gene.

Strain-Dependent Ultrasonic Vocalizations in Mice
Litters chosen for testing contained more than seven pups for BTBR (7.8±1.05), B6 (7.1±0.58) and FVB/NJ (7.5±0.34), and more than five pups for 129X1 (5.5±0.40; a strain known for small litters). One female and one male from each litter of BTBR, B6, FVB/NJ and 129X1 mice (n = 10 litters each strain) were used for baseline measurements of the ultrasonic vocalizations from pnd 2 to 12. Body weights and body temperatures of pups were measured after the ultrasonic vocalization test on pnd 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12. On each day of testing, each pup was placed into an empty plastic container (diameter, 5 cm; height 10 cm), located inside a sound-attenuating styrofoam box, and assessed for USVs during a five minute test. At the end of the five minute recording session, each pup was weighed and its axillary temperature measured by gentle insertion of the thermal probe in the skin pocket between upper foreleg and chest of the animal for about 30 seconds (Microprobe digital thermometer with mouse probe, Stoelting Co., Illinois, USA). No differences in patterns of calling were detected in a comparison of male and female pups, therefore data were collapsed across sex.
An Ultrasound Microphone (Avisoft UltraSoundGate condenser microphone capsule CM16, Avisoft Bioacoustics, Berlin, Germany) sensitive to frequencies of 10–180 kHz, recorded the pup vocalizations in the sound-attenuating chamber. The microphone was placed through a hole in the middle of the cover of the styrofoam sound-attenuating box, about 20 cm above the pup in its plastic container. The temperature of the room was maintained at 22±1°C. Vocalizations were recorded using Avisoft Recorder software (Version 3.2). Settings included sampling rate at 250 kHz; format 16 bit. For acoustical analysis, recordings were transferred to Avisoft SASLab Pro (Version 4.40) and a fast Fourier transformation (FFT) was conducted. Spectrograms were generated with an FFT-length of 1024 points and a time window overlap of 75% (100% Frame, Hamming window). The spectrogram was produced at a frequency resolution of 488 Hz and a time resolution of 1 ms. A lower cut-off frequency of 15 kHz was used to reduce background noise outside the relevant frequency band to 0 dB. Call detection was provided by an automatic threshold-based algorithm and a hold-time mechanism (hold time: 0.01 s). An experienced user checked the accuracy of call detection, and obtained a 100% concordance between automated and observational detection. Parameters analyzed for each test day included number of calls, duration of calls, qualitative and quantitative analyses of sound frequencies measured in terms of frequency and amplitude at the maximum of the spectrum.
Waveform patterns of calls were examined in depth in twenty sonograms collected from every strain, one from each of the pups tested. The sonograms were one minute in length and selected from recordings at postnatal day 8. We classified 3633 BTBR calls, 2333 B6 calls, 1806 129X1 calls and 2575 FVB/NJ calls. Each call was identified as one of 10 distinct categories, based on internal pitch changes, lengths and shapes, using previously published categorizations [21] (link), [22] (link), [24] (link). Classification of USVs included ten waveform patterns described below, and illustrated visually in Figure 2 and S1 and as audiofiles (Sounds S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10) in Supporting Information.
Inter-rater reliability in scoring the call categories was 98%. Call category data were subjected to two different analyses: a) strain-dependent effects on the frequency and duration of the vocalizations emitted by each subject at pnd 8 b) strain-dependent effects on the probability of producing calls from each of the ten categories of USV, as described below under Statistical analysis.

Curation of Bacterial Virulence Factors
The bacterial virulent protein sequences were retrieved from the SWISS-PROT [20 (link)] and VFDB (an integrated and comprehensive database of virulence factors of bacterial pathogens, [21 (link)]). SWISS-PROT sequences were retrieved using keywords such as virulence, adhesin, adhesion, adherence, toxin, invasion, capsule and other terms related to virulence factors. The VFDB and SWISS-PROT sequences were screened strictly in order to obtain a high quality dataset. First, the sequences were filtered to remove entries annotated as "Probable", Putative", "By similarity", "Fragments" "Hypothetical", "Unknown" and "Possible". The filtering yielded 1756 annotated virulent protein sequences (henceforth referred to as positive dataset).
For training with non-virulent protein sequences, we selected 3000 annotated protein sequences of bacterial enzymes and other non-virulent proteins from SWISS-PROT database (these sequences are henceforth referred to as negative dataset). The negative dataset sequences were mainly chosen from the bacterial proteomes, the virulent protein sequences of which are included in the positive dataset.

Shikonin Formulations for Dietary Supplement
Not available on PMC !

Example 1

As a general procedure, shikonin or a composition comprising shikonin or a derivative thereof is formulated in capsules, optionally in combination with lecithin (phospholipids, comprising primarily phosphatidylcholine) (e.g., at a shikonin-to-lecithin weight ratio of about 1:1). The shikonin or derivative thereof may be substantially pure (from a synthetic or natural source) or a part of an extract of a plant, such as Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Arnebia euchroma or another member of the borage family.

Using the above general procedure, an extract of purple gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) root (zicao) was prepared using an appropriate solvent, followed by spray drying and sieving, to obtain a purple powder. 175 mg of the powdered purple gromwell extract, containing about 30% shikonin and/or derivatives thereof, was placed with an equal weight of lecithin (Lipoid® PS P 20×, obtained from Lipoid GmbH) in Capsugel® delayed release (DR) capsules.

As an alternative to capsules, a syrup was prepared comprising lecithin and shikonin (95% purity) at a 5:1 lecithin:shikonin ratio, 44% alcohol as solvent, and honey.

Based on literature reports, toxicity of shikonin is not expected at dosages of less than 8 grams per day.
