Feature Learning of Virus Genome Evolution With the Nucleotide Skip-Gram Neural Network

Recent studies reveal that even the smallest genomes such as viruses evolve through complex and stochastic processes, and the assumption of independent alleles is not valid in most applications. Advances in sequencing technologies produce multiple time-poi ...

An Interactive Gameplay to Crowdsource Multiple Sequence Alignment of Genome Sequences: Genenigma

Comparative genomics is a field of research that compares genomes of different organisms to identify common patterns. It is a powerful method used to identify the genetic diseases that cause mutations. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an intermediate s ...

Histone Modifications in Development and Malignancy

Elisa Oricchio

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) development is driven by the accumulations of multiple genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal alterations. These lesions can lead to modifications of the chromatin architecture. To identify novel oncogenic interactions driven by mo ...

RDHK Family, Regulators dedicated to Organohalide Respiration - Sequence Diversity and Functional Prediction

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is an anaerobic metabolism by which bacteria conserve energy from the use of organohalide molecules as terminal electron acceptors. Because most organohalides of anthropogenic origin are persistent pollutants, the study of ba ...

Long-term imaging, automated high-content phenotyping and sorting of C. elegans larvae and embryos using microfluidic platforms

Hüseyin Baris Atakan

C. elegans is frequently studied to address fundamental biological questions motivated by its short life cycle, small size, hermaphrodite behavior and well-annotated genome. In this work, we present novel microfluidic platforms that support long-term cultu ...

Chromatin three-dimensional interactions mediate genetic effects on gene expression

David Hacker, Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Sanjeev Kumar

Studying the genetic basis of gene expression and chromatin organization is key to characterizing the effect of genetic variability on the function and structure of the human genome. Here we unravel how genetic variation perturbs gene regulation using a da ...

Identifying microbial species by single-molecule DNA optical mapping and resampling statistics

Theo Lasser, Aleksandra Radenovic, Arno Pino Bouwens, Tomas Lukes, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux, Kristin Stefanie Grussmayer, Jochem Deen

Single-molecule DNA mapping has the potential to serve as a powerful complement to high-throughput sequencing in metagenomic analysis. Offering longer read lengths and forgoing the need for complex library preparation and amplification, mapping stands to p ...

The Detection of Early Epigenetic Inheritance of Mitochondrial Stress in C. Elegans with a Microfluidic Phenotyping Platform

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

Fluctuations and deterioration in environmental conditions potentially have a phenotypic impact that extends over generations. Transgenerational epigenetics is the defined term for such intergenerational transient inheritance without an alteration in the D ...
