The Black cells phenotype is caused by a point mutation in the Drosophila pro-phenoloxidase 1 gene that triggers melanization and hematopoietic defects

Bruno Lemaitre, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Olivier Binggeli, Lise Bertin

Melanization contributes to arthropod-specific innate immunity through deposition of melanin at wound sites or around parasites, with concomitant release of microbicidal reactive oxygen species. Melanization requires sequential activation of proteolytic en ...

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of HIV-1-infected populations have been underpowered to detect common variants with moderate impact on disease outcome and have not assessed the phenotypic variance explained by genome-wide additive effects. ...

Quantitative single-cell analysis of S. cerevisiae using a microfluidic live-cell imaging platform

Johannes Becker

Genome-wide manipulations and measurements have made huge progress over the last decades. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-studied eukaryotic model organism, homologous recombination allows for systematic deletion or alteration of a majority of its gene ...

Next-generation antimicrobials: from chemical biology to first-in-class drugs

Paul Murima

The global emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria invokes an urgent and imperative necessity for the identification of novel antimicrobials. The general lack of success in progressing novel chemical entities from target-based drug screens have prompted ...

A systems approach to elucidate the genetic architecture of molecular phenotypes

Sebastian Martin Waszak

A growing body of evidence suggests that changes in gene regulatory DNA are the major genetic determinants of variation in complex phenotypes; however, the underlying genes as well as cascades of intermediate molecular events remain in most cases elusive. ...

Metabolic expressivity of human genetic variants: NMR metabotyping of MEN1 pathogenic mutants

David Lyndon Emsley

Functional consequences of mutations in predisposition genes for familial cancer syndromes remain often elusive, especially when the corresponding gene products play pleiotropic functions and interact with numerous partners. Understanding the consequences ...

Genome-wide patterns of adaptation to climate-mediated selective pressures in sheep

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Sheep (Ovis aries) have been well adapted to thrive in a diverse range of climates during the domestication and breed development process. These climate-mediated selective pressures have shown to influence phenotypic variation within and among breeds and, ...

Background: There is an ever-increasing volume of data on host genes that are modulated during HIV infection, influence disease susceptibility or carry genetic variants that impact HIV infection. We created GuavaH (Genomic Utility for Association and Viral ...
