Rhythms of the Genome: Circadian Dynamics from Chromatin Topology, Tissue-Specific Gene Expression, to Behavior

Felix Naef, Jake Yeung

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-h day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right tis ...

Diurnal Oscillations in Liver Mass and Cell Size Accompany Ribosome Assembly Cycles

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin, Jingkui Wang

The liver plays a pivotal role in metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification, processes that must be particularly efficient when animals are active and feed. A major question is how the liver adapts to these diurnal changes in physiology. Here, we show that, ...

Indirect Evidence Link PCB Dehalogenation with Geobacteraceae in Anaerobic Sediment-Free Microcosms

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Martina Praveckova

Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) production was brought to a halt 30 years ago, recalcitrance to degradation makes them a major environmental pollutant at a global scale. Previous studies confirmed that organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were ...
