Reproductive isolation arises during laboratory adaptation to a novel hot environment
Background: Reproductive isolation can result from adaptive processes (e.g., ecological speciation and mutation-order speciation) or stochastic processes such as "system drift" model. Ecological speciation predicts barriers to gene flow between populations ...
BMC2024Meeting our Makers:Uncovering the cis-regulatory activity of transposable elements using statistical learning
The adaptation of organisms to their environment depends on the innovative potential inherent to genetic variation. In complex organisms such as mammals, processes like development and immunity require tight gene regulation. Complex forms emerge more often ...
EPFL2024Ancestral genome reconstruction enhances transposable element annotation by identifying degenerate integrants
Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Wayo Matsushima
Growing evidence indicates that transposable elements (TEs) play important roles in evolution by providing genomes with coding and non-coding sequences. Identification of TE-derived functional elements, however, has relied on TE annotations in individual s ...
2024Multi-well plate lid for single-step pooling of 96 samples for high-throughput barcode-based sequencing
Bart Deplancke, Daniel Migliozzi, Gilles Weder, Riccardo Dainese, Daniel Alpern, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Mustafa Demir, Dariia Gudkova
High-throughput transcriptomics is of increasing fundamental biological and clinical interest. The generation of molecular data from large collections of samples, such as biobanks and drug libraries, is boosting the development of new biomarkers and treatm ...
Dordrecht2024Variant-specific pathophysiological mechanisms of AFF3 differently influence transcriptome profiles
Giovanna Ambrosini, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli
Background: We previously described the KINSSHIP syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder associated with intellectual disability (ID), mesomelic dysplasia and horseshoe kidney,caused by de novo variants in the degron of AFF3. Mouse knock-ins and overexpre ...
BMC2024The dynamic genetic determinants of increased transcriptional divergence in spermatids
Cis-genetic effects are key determinants of transcriptional divergence in discrete tissues and cell types. However, how cis- and trans-effects act across continuous trajectories of cellular differentiation in vivo is poorly understood. Here, we quantify al ...
Berlin2024Comparison of Three Viral Nucleic Acid Preamplification Pipelines for Sewage Viral Metagenomics
Tamar Kohn, Xavier Fernandez Cassi
Viral metagenomics is a useful tool for detecting multiple human viruses in urban sewage. However, more refined protocols are required for its effective use in disease surveillance. In this study, we investigated the performance of three different preampli ...
2024The cost of adaptability: resource availability constrains functional stability under pulsed disturbances
Global change exposes ecosystems to changes in the frequency, magnitude, and concomitancy of disturbances, which impact the composition and functioning of these systems. Here, we experimentally evaluate the effects of salinity disturbances and eutrophicati ...
Washington2024Single-cell epigenomic reconstruction of developmental trajectories from pluripotency in human neural organoid systems
Cell fate progression of pluripotent progenitors is strictly regulated, resulting in high human cell diversity. Epigenetic modifications also orchestrate cell fate restriction. Unveiling the epigenetic mechanisms underlying human cell diversity has been di ...
Nature Portfolio2024Toward universal cell embeddings: integrating single-cell RNA-seq datasets across species with SATURN
Analysis of single-cell datasets generated from diverse organisms offers unprecedented opportunities to unravel fundamental evolutionary processes of conservation and diversification of cell types. However, interspecies genomic differences limit the joint ...
