The THO complex counteracts TERRA R-loop-mediated telomere fragility in telomerase(+) cells and telomeric recombination in ALT(+) cells

Telomeres are the nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear chromosomes. Telomeres are transcribed into long non-coding Telomeric Repeat-Containing RNA (TERRA), whose functions rely on its ability to associate with telomeric chromatin. The conserved T ...

Genomic Analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster Populations Reveals Longitudinal Structure, Continent-Wide Selection, and Previously Unknown DNA Viruses

Bart Deplancke

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation in natural populations have been challenging, a ...

Functional analysis of the telomeric long non-coding RNA TERRA

Patricia Renck Nunes

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures present in the end of linear chromosomes. In humans, a core complex of 6 proteins cap and protect the chromosome ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks and eliciting unwanted DNA damage and repair response ...

Expression and differential regulation of human TERRA at several chromosome ends

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki, Patricia Renck Nunes

The telomeric long noncoding RNA TERRA has been implicated in regulating telomere maintenance by telomerase and homologous recombination, and in influencing telomeric protein composition during the cell cycle and the telomeric DNA damage response. TERRA tr ...

Gender medicine and oncology: report and consensus of an ESMO workshop

Jacques Fellay

Background: The importance of sex and gender as modulators of disease biology and treatment outcomes is well known in other disciplines of medicine, such as cardiology, but remains an undervalued issue in oncology. Considering the increasing evidence for t ...

Infrared nanospectroscopic mapping of a single metaphase chromosome

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Ewelina Wioletta Lipiec

The integrity of the chromatin structure is essential to every process occurring within eukaryotic nuclei. However, there are no reliable tools to decipher the molecular composition of metaphase chromosomes. Here, we have applied infrared nanospectroscopy ...

Effect of Fc Receptor Genetic Diversity on HIV-1 Disease Pathogenesis

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Fc receptor (FcR) genes collectively have copy number and allelic polymorphisms that have been implicated in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This variation might also be involved in etiology of infectious diseases. The protective role of Fc- ...

Signatures of selection and environmental adaptation across the goat genome post-domestication

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat

Background: Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems and/or purposes and (ii) adaptation t ...

Division site selection linked to inherited cell surface wave troughs in mycobacteria

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is tightly controlled in space and time to maintain cell size and ploidy within narrow bounds. In bacteria, the canonical Minicell (Min) and nucleoid occlusion (Noc) systems together ensure that division is restricted to midcell after complet ...

Sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) goes through an all-male stage and is delayed in genetic males who instead grow faster

Oliver Michele Selmoni

Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during sex differentiation. Here we describe sex differentiation in a wild grayling (Thymallus thymallus) population that suffers from distorted sex ratios. We verified that sex determin ...
