Meeting 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 ...

Integrative transcriptome analyses of Transposable Elements (TEs) and genes contribute to a better understanding of colorectal cancer

Eunji Shin

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer develops through multiple hallmark functions including apoptosis evasion, unlimited replicative potential, metastasis, and immune avoidance. Over the past few decades, researchers have reported ...

Hybrid Transcriptional Regulators for the Screening of Target DNA Motifs in Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Marie Vingerhoets

The bioremediation of persistent organohalide molecules under anoxic conditions mostly relies on the bacterial process called organohalide respiration (OHR). Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are phylogenetically diverse anaerobic bacteria that share ...

Reconfigurable optical generation of nine Nyquist WDM channels with sinc-shaped temporal pulse trains using a single microresonator-based Kerr frequency comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Fatemeh Alishahi, Ahmad Fallahpour, Amirhossein Mohajerin Ariaei, Cong Liu

Sinc-shaped temporal pulse trains have a spectrally efficient, rectangular Nyquist spectrum. We demonstrate the simultaneous and reconfigurable optical generation of multiple Nyquist-shaped wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels having temporal sin ...

The evolution of gene expression and binding specificity of the largest transcription factor family in primates

Didier Trono, Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Lisha Mathew

The KRAB-containing zinc finger (KRAB-ZF) proteins represent the largest family of transcription factors (TFs) in humans, yet for the great majority, their function and specific genomic target remain unknown. However, it has been shown that a large fractio ...

Extending the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Molecular Genetic Toolbox

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

Targeted alteration of the genome lies at the heart of the exploitation of S. pombe as a model system. The rate of analysis is often determined by the efficiency with which a target locus can be manipulated. For most loci this is not a problem, however for ...

MAR-mediated integration of plasmid vectors for in vivo gene transfer and regulation

Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Stefania Puttini, Déborah Ley, Damien Saugy

Background: The in vivo transfer of naked plasmid DNA into organs such as muscles is commonly used to assess the expression of prophylactic or therapeutic genes in animal disease models. Results: In this study, we devised vectors allowing a tight regulatio ...

Altered expression of beta-galactosidase-1-like protein 3 (Glb1l3) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-specific 65-kDa protein knockout mouse model of Leber's congenital amaurosis

Purpose: In this study, we investigated the expression of the gene encoding beta-galactosidase (Glb)-1-like protein 3 (Glb1l3), a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family, during retinal degeneration in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-specific 65-kD ...

Analysis of the Pigment Cell Specific Gene MART-1/Melan-A/mlana

Iraz Toprak Aydin

Pigmentation is a complex process that provides many diverse benefits for the organism. Pigment production takes place in the pigment cell lineage in dedicated organelles called melanosomes. Several proteins are specifically recruited to melanosomes for th ...
