Global human tissue profiling and protein network analysis reveals distinct levels of transcriptional germline-specificity and identifies target genes for male infertility

Mammalian spermatogenesis is a process that involves a complex expression program in both somatic and germ cells present in the male gonad. A number of studies have attempted to define the transcriptome of male meiosis and gametogenesis in rodents and prim ...

GETPrime: a gene- or transcript-specific primer database for quantitative real-time PCR

Bart Deplancke, Jacques Rougemont, Andreas Massouras, Carine Delattre-Gubelmann, Fabrice David, Alexandre Gattiker, Frederik Decouttere

The vast majority of genes in humans and other organisms undergo alternative splicing, yet the biological function of splice variants is still very poorly understood in large part because of the lack of simple tools that can map the expression profiles and ...

GermOnline 4.0 is a genomics gateway for germline development, meiosis and the mitotic cell cycle

Alexandre Gattiker

GermOnline 4.0 is a cross-species database portal focusing on high-throughput expression data relevant for germline development, the meiotic cell cycle and mitosis in healthy versus malignant cells. It is thus a source of information for life scientists as ...

Comparative genomic and phylogeographic analysis of Mycobacterium leprae

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Pushpendra Singh, Philippe Busso, Alexandre Gattiker

Reductive evolution and massive pseudogene formation have shaped the 3.31-Mb genome of Mycobacterium leprae, an unculturable obligate pathogen that causes leprosy in humans. The complete genome sequence of M. leprae strain Br4923 from Brazil was obtained b ...
