Evolution of whole genomes through inversions

Krister Swenson

Advances in sequencing technology are yielding DNA sequence data at an alarming rate – a rate reminiscent of Moore's law. Biologists' abilities to analyze this data, however, have not kept pace. On the other hand, the discrete and mechanical nature of the ...

Studies on lentiviral-mediated transgenesis

Marc-Olivier Sauvain

Transgenic animals are essential research tools, whether to address basic biological questions or to develop preclinical models of human diseases. Their generation through the injection of naked plasmid DNA into the male pronucleus of a fertilized oocyte h ...

Dynamic simulation of regulatory networks using SQUAD

Giovanni De Micheli, Abhishek Garg, Ioannis Xenarios

Background The ambition of most molecular biologists is the understanding of the intricate network of molecular interactions that control biological systems. As scientists uncover the components and the connectivity of these networks, it becomes possible t ...

Autopolyploidy and post-glacial recolonization of Biscutella laevigata (Brassicaceae): molecular analysis and spatial modeling of gene dispersal in the western Alps

Stéphane Joost, Régis Caloz

Over the past five years there have been significant advances in both genetic and palaeoecological research on the ancestry of populations. The alternation of cold and warm stages during the Ice Ages has caused repeated geographic restriction and expansion ...

Genomic distances under deletions and insertions

Bernard Moret, Krister Swenson

As more and more genomes are sequenced, evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in evolution at the level of whole genomes, in scenarios in which the genome evolves through insertions, deletions, and movements of genes along its chromo ...

Developmental biology in Geneva: a three century-long tradition

Denis Duboule

It was in the first half of the 18th century when life sciences started to flourish in the independent republic of Geneva. However, it is difficult to identify a genuine school of developmental biologists during that era. Nevertheless, several prominent sc ...
