Whole genome grey and white matter DNA methylation profiles in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Johannes Gräff, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

The brain's neocortex is anatomically organized into grey and white matter, which are mainly composed by neuronal and glial cells, respectively. The neocortex can be further divided in different Brodmann areas according to their cytoarchitectural organizat ...

Tissue-specific enhancer repression through molecular integration of cell signaling inputs

Bart Deplancke

Drosophila leg morphogenesis occurs under the control of a relatively well-known genetic cascade, which mobilizes both cell signaling pathways and tissue-specific transcription factors. However, their cross-regulatory interactions, deployed to refine leg p ...

Arsenic methylation dynamics in a rice paddy soil anaerobic enrichment culture

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Alexandre Bagnoud, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Matthew Charles Reid

Methylated arsenic (As) species represent a significant fraction of the As accumulating in rice grains, and there are geographic patterns in the abundance of methylated arsenic in rice that are not understood. The microorganisms driving As biomethylation i ...

Gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the intestinal innate immune response

Bart Deplancke, Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho

In the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, distinct types of cells, including epithelial cells and macrophages, collaborate to eliminate ingested pathogens while striving to preserve the commensal microbiota. The underlying innate immune response is driven b ...

Whole genome sequencing distinguishes between relapse and reinfection in recurrent leprosy cases

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh, Jérémie Piton, Chloé Marie Loiseau

Background Since leprosy is both treated and controlled by multidrug therapy (MDT) it is important to monitor recurrent cases for drug resistance and to distinguish between relapse and reinfection as a means of assessing therapeutic efficacy. All three obj ...

Rhythmic and clock-dependent chromatin loops regulate circadian gene expression

Jérôme Mermet

In mammals the circadian clock drives daily behavioural and physiological changes that resonate with environmental cues, which can be observed, for example, in the intricate timing of rest during the night and activity during the day in humans. The circadi ...
