Comment on "Circadian rhythms in the absence of the clock gene Bmal1"

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet

Ray et al. (Reports, 14 February 2020, p. 800) recently claimed temperature-compensated, free-running mRNA oscillations in Bmal1(-/-) liver slices and skin fibroblasts. We reanalyzed these data and found far fewer reproducible mRNA oscillations in this gen ...

Robust landscapes of ribosome dwell times and aminoacyl-tRNAs in response to nutrient stress in liver

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Nagammal Neelagandan

Translation depends on messenger RNA (mRNA)-specific initiation, elongation, and termination rates. While translation elongation is well studied in bacteria and yeast, less is known in higher eukaryotes. Here we combined ribosome and transfer RNA (tRNA) pr ...

Signaling centers, localized groups of cells that secrete morphogens, play a key role in early development and organogenesis by orchestrating spatial cell fate patterning. Here we present a microfluidic approach that exposes human pluripotent stem cell (hP ...

Memory and relatedness of transcriptional activity in mammalian cell lineages

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Nicholas Edward Phillips, Aleksandra Mandic, Saeed Omidi Klishami

Phenotypically identical mammalian cells often display considerable variability in transcript levels of individual genes. How transcriptional activity propagates in cell lineages, and how this varies across genes is poorly understood. Here we combine live- ...

The Mouse Microbiome Is Required for Sex-Specific Diurnal Rhythms of Gene Expression and Metabolism

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Jake Yeung

The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metab ...

Sleep-wake-driven and circadian contributions to daily rhythms in gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the murine cortex

Felix Naef, Maxime Jan, Jake Yeung, Ioannis Xenarios

The timing and duration of sleep results from the interaction between a homeostatic sleep-wake-driven process and a periodic circadian process, and involves changes in gene regulation and expression. Unraveling the contributions of both processes and their ...

The transduction of extracellular signals through signaling pathways that culminate in a transcriptional response is central to many biological processes. However, quantitative relationships between activities of signaling pathway components and transcript ...

Differential regulation of RNA polymerase III genes during liver regeneration

Olivier Martin, Bart Deplancke, Felix Naef, Jacques Rougemont, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Marion Leleu, Fabrice David, Winship Herr, Mauro Delorenzi, Kyle Gustafson, Dominic Villeneuve, Cristian Carmeli, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nouria Hernandez, Laura Symul, Irina Krier, Julien Delafontaine, Philippe Jacquet, Julia Catharina Cajan, Maykel Lopes, Ioannis Xenarios, François Mange

Mouse liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy involves cells in the remaining tissue synchronously entering the cell division cycle. We have used this system and H3K4me3, Pol II and Pol III profiling to characterize adaptations in Pol III transcriptio ...

Low-dimensional dynamics of two coupled biological oscillators

Felix Naef, Eric Paquet, Colas Noé Droin

The circadian clock and the cell cycle are two biological oscillatory processes that coexist within individual cells. These two oscillators were found to interact, which can lead to their synchronization. Here, we develop a method to identify a low-dimensi ...
