Systematic mapping of antibiotic cross-resistance and collateral sensitivity with chemical genetics

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans, Florian Huber

By acquiring or evolving resistance to one antibiotic, bacteria can become resistant to a second one, due to shared underlying mechanisms. This is called cross-resistance (XR) and further limits therapeutic choices. The opposite scenario, in which initial ...

Diet modulates cecum bacterial diversity and physiological phenotypes across the BXD mouse genetic reference population

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams

The BXD family has become one of the preeminent genetic reference populations to understand the genetic and environmental control of phenotypic variation. Here we evaluate the responses to different levels of fat in the diet using both chow diet (CD, 13-18 ...

Systems genetics approaches to probe gene function

Hao Li

Genes are the functional units of heredity. However, the functions of many genes remain unknown, which impedes the understanding of the underlying mechanism of complex traits and diseases. Systems genetics approaches try to understand the complexity underl ...

Genetic characterization of an adapted pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza virus that reveals improved replication rates in human lung epithelial cells

Christian Sieben

The 2009 influenza pandemic originated from a swine-origin H1N1 virus, which, although less pathogenic than anticipated, may acquire additional virulence-associated mutations in the future. To estimate the potential risk, we sequentially passaged the isola ...

Astrocyte scar formation aids central nervous system axon regeneration

Mark Andrew Anderson, Michael V. Sofroniew

Transected axons fail to regrow in the mature central nervous system. Astrocytic scars are widely regarded as causal in this failure. Here, using three genetically targeted loss-of-function manipulations in adult mice, we show that preventing astrocyte sca ...

Dicer1 imparts essential survival cues in Notch-driven T-ALL via miR-21-mediated tumor suppressor Pdcd4 repression

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Fabian Junker, Antoine Matthieu Chabloz

The modulatory function of individual microRNAs (miRNAs) in Notch-driven T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) has recently been established. Although protumorigenic and tumor-suppressive miRNAs are implicated in disease onset in murine models of N ...

The impact of host genetic variation on infection with HIV-1

The outcome after infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a complex phenotype determined by interactions among the pathogen, the human host and the surrounding environment. An impact of host genetic variation on HIV-1 susceptibili ...

High-performance and reliable site-directed in vivo genetic manipulation of mouse and rat brain by in utero electroporation with a triple-electrode probe

Diego Ghezzi

One of the challenges for modern neuroscience is to understand the role of specific genes in the determination of cellular fate, and in the formation and physiology of neuronal-circuits. Techniques for genetic manipulation in vivo such as in utero electrop ...

On stand by: host genetics of HIV control

The impact of host genetic variation on determining the differential outcomes after HIV infection has been studied by two approaches: targeting of candidate genes and genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The overlap in genetic variants that has been id ...

TransFLP - A Method to Genetically Modify Vibrio cholerae Based on Natural Transformation and FLP-recombination

Melanie Blokesch

Several methods are available to manipulate bacterial chromosomes(1-3). Most of these protocols rely on the insertion of conditionally replicative plasmids (e.g. harboring pir-dependent or temperature-sensitive replicons(1,2)). These plasmids are integrate ...
