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 ...
En 2019, les habitants d’une barre d’immeubles située à la Servette, un quartier populaire de Genève, ont dû évacuer d’urgence à cause d’un risque d’effondrement. Le bâtiment à usage mixte abritait plusieurs commerces, dont quelques grandes enseignes. La d ...
La question centrale est celle de l’intégration de la matière existante dans l’évolution de la ville. Comment le projet urbain compose-t-il avec son passé récent, comme élément propulseur de sa transition écologique, sociale et économique ? Le cas d’étude ...
La prison du Bois-Mermet, considérée comme le dernier exemple de prison de district encore en fonction, est amenée à être désaffectée d’ici 2025. Autrefois localisée en périphérie de la ville de Lausanne, elle est aujourd’hui située au cœur du quartier en ...
Fitness landscapes map the relationship between genotypes and fitness. However, most fitness landscape studies ignore the genetic architecture imposed by the codon table and thereby neglect the potential role of synonymous mutations. To quantify the fitnes ...
The PIN domain plays a central role in cellular RNA biology and is involved in processes as diverse as rRNA maturation, mRNA decay and telomerase function. Here, we solve the crystal structure of the Rae1 (YacP) protein of Bacillus subtilis, a founding mem ...
Protein synthesis is an energy consuming process characterised as a pivotal and highly regulated step in gene expression. The net protein output is dictated by a combination of translation initiation, elongation and termination rates that have remained dif ...
Translation depends on messenger RNA (mRNA)-specific initiation, elongation, and termination rates. While translation elongation is well studied in bacteria and yeast, less is known in higher eukaryotes. Here we combined ribosome and transfer RNA (tRNA) pr ...
The mutational spectrum of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) does not resemble any of the known mutational signatures of the nuclear genome and variation in mtDNA mutational spectra between different organisms is still incomprehensible. Since mitochondria are ...
Circadian rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and adapt to periodic environmental changes related to the day-night cycle. These rhythms originate from a genetic network ticking in almost every cell of our body and the coordination between different organ ...
