Comparison of computational methods for the identification of topologically associating domains

Elisa Oricchio, Daniele Tavernari, Giovanni Ciriello

BackgroundChromatin folding gives rise to structural elements among which are clusters of densely interacting DNA regions termed topologically associating domains (TADs). TADs have been characterized across multiple species, tissue types, and differentiati ...

GenMon-CH : a Web-GIS application for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) in Switzerland

Stéphane Joost

Since the initation of the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR) in 2007, individual member countries, including Switzerland, should have started a monitoring program. In this context, we developed GenMon-CH, funded by the Federal ...

Photosymbiosis and the expansion of shallow-water corals

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Roughly 240 million years ago (Ma), scleractinian corals rapidly expanded and diversified across shallow marine environments. The main driver behind this evolution is uncertain, but the ecological success of modern reefbuilding corals is attributed to thei ...

The Developmental Control of Transposable Elements and the Evolution of Higher Species

Didier Trono, Marc Samuel Friedli

Transposable elements (TEs) account for at least 50% of the human genome. They constitute essential motors of evolution through their ability to modify genomic architecture, mutate genes and regulate gene expression. Accordingly, TEs are subject to tight e ...

Meta-analysis of incomplete microarray studies

Anthony Christopher Davison, Darlene Goldstein

Meta-analysis of microarray studies to produce an overall gene list is relatively straightforward when complete data are available. When some studies lack information, for example, having only a ranked list of genes instead of complete primary data, it is ...

Tetravalent uranium is commonly assumed to form insoluble species, resulting in the immobilization of uranium under reducing conditions. Here we present the first report of mobile U(IV)-bearing colloids in the environment, bringing into question this commo ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduce the differences in competitiveness between dominant and subordinate plant species

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Thomas Spiegelberger, Aurélie Thébault, Claire Meugnier

In grassland communities, plants can be classified as dominants or subordinates according to their relative abundances, but the factors controlling such distributions remain unclear. Here, we test whether the presence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fun ...

We describe a mass spectra recalibration method, which enables analysis of petroleum samples with Orbitrap FTMS. In this method, the mass calibration function is estimated on the basis of mass-to-charge ratios and abundances of internal calibrants without ...
