Modelling softwares can be used by policy makers to assess the impacts of different scenarios on energy systems to support planning and decision making. Demand forms an integral foundation of energy planning and insights into possible projections can aid in policy creation, yet access to data is often a barrier to utilising energy demand modelling to support such decision making. Despite the official launch of the energy governance devolution process within Kenya, through the Kenya Energy Act (2019), progress towards county energy planning and developing modelling data and tools to reflect this remains limited and inaccessible. Therefore, this article provides data that can be used to create a simple whole energy system demand model for the individual counties in Kenya, acting as a starting point for teaching, capacity building efforts, and for further data collection, model development and scenario analysis to produce county resolution demand projections. The data was collected from websites, annual reports, and databases of international and national organisations alongside existing modelling databases and academic articles and can be easily updated based on the latest available local data and information. As a demonstration, these data were used to calibrate a demand model for Kilifi County using the Model for the Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) for a baseline scenario from 2019 to 2070. The assumptions used and results gained are illustrated in the appendix of the article as a demonstration of what can be achieved through application of this dataset.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10973,"journal":{"name":"Data in Brief","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 111556"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143870544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce these treatments, resistant varieties are largely deployed but their effectiveness can decrease over time. The combination of complementary molecular mechanisms within new varieties could enhance the durability of genetic resistance however, the underlying resistance mechanisms remain poorly understood. An apple pseudo-F1 progeny was previously widely investigated for its quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling resistance to scab and at least three of them seem to act complementarily; notably, one of them is specific to some <em>Vi</em> isolates while the others have a broader spectra of action. The aim of this approach is to better understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and metabolites associated with resistance alleles by exploring apple leaf specialized metabolism. A total of three experiments was conducted: one experiment included non-inoculated leaves whereas in the two other experiments, leaf samples were collected five days after inoculation with two different <em>Vi</em> isolates, including one known to overcome one QTL. Metabolic content was extracted in aqueous methanol before performing an untargeted metabolomic analysis using an Orbitrap IDX^TM mass spectrometer, allowing high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) detection. This approach without <em>a priori</em> enables the detection of potentially new chemical families involved in resistance to apple scab. The current data article includes 1) the protocol of plant sample production with a table summarizing key elements of the experimental designs, 2) overview of the raw metabolomic profiles from all three experiments and 3) assessment of metabolic feature reproducibility between replicates in each dataset through Principal Component Analysis. The raw data files are available on the recherche.data.gouv repository (10.57745/XJBD8V). These datasets are valuable resources to further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic resistance to apple scab, with a focus on specialized metabolism. In the long term, it should improve apple breeding strategies by informing on how to combine appropriate genetic and biochemical factors in new varieties to ensure a more durable resistance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10973,"journal":{"name":"Data in Brief","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 111566"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present a comparative transcriptome profiling of cancer cells knocked-down for the asRNA <em>NFYC-AS1</em> with two different approaches: i) Gapmer Antisense Oligonucleotides to assess RNA-dependent mechanisms, and ii) CRISPR/Cas9 deletion of the transcription start site to study transcription-dependent mechanisms. We describe in detail the strategies used to silence the asRNA and evaluate the consequences at the transcriptome level by RNA-sequencing. Moreover, we outline the analyses conducted to correctly manage the variability across replicates and the off-target effects of either method. The integration of the obtained datasets revealed commonalities and divergencies of the two approaches, which was fundamental for dissecting <em>NFYC-AS1</em> function.

This paper introduces a mechanomyography (MMG) signal dataset intended for application in human-computer interaction (HCI) research. The dataset is obtained from integrated sensor data, capturing mechanical signals from muscle activity via the accelerometer, augmented by the gyroscope for motion analysis. The dataset comprises 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope data from 43 participants, ranging in age from 18 to 69 years, exhibiting a male-to-female distribution of 60 % to 40 % respectively. The dataset includes the following 11 gestures: clapping, coin flipping, finger snapping, fist making, horizontal wrist extension, index finger flicking, index thumb tapping, shooting, thumb up, wrist extension, and wrist flexion. A novel, assembled, and manufactured wearable system collected data from the main muscles that end at the wrist, just below the watch strap. These muscles include flexors and extensors, which work together to move the wrist and fingers when making the hand gestures listed above. Every participant completed a total of fifty repetitions for each of the eleven hand motions, resulting in 550 samples per subject. Before recording the signals, a demographic survey with the participants is conducted. Researchers focusing on classification, recognition, and prediction can use the gathered data to develop MMG-based hand motion controller systems. The collected data can also serve as a reference for developing a model using artificial intelligence (e.g., a deep learning or machine learning model) that is capable of identifying gesture-related MMG signals. It is suggested that the proposed dataset is used to evaluate existing datasets in the literature or to validate artificial intelligence models developed with alternative datasets through the participant-independent evaluation approach. This dataset can be useful in a variety of applications and fields, including interaction between humans and robots, gaming, assistive technology, healthcare observation, and sports analytics, to name a few specific examples.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10973,"journal":{"name":"Data in Brief","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 111558"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
