Statistical inference with a manifold-constrained RNA velocity model uncovers cell cycle speed modulations

Felix Naef, Gioele La Manno, Alex Russell Lederer, Irina Khven, Antonio Herrera Camacho, Albert Dominguez Mantes, Colas Noé Droin, Lorenzo Talamanca

Across biological systems, cells undergo coordinated changes in gene expression, resulting in transcriptome dynamics that unfold within a low-dimensional manifold. While low-dimensional dynamics can be extracted using RNA velocity, these algorithms can be ...

Space-time logic of liver gene expression at sub-lobular scale

Felix Naef, Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni, Colas Noé Droin

The mammalian liver is a central hub for systemic metabolic homeostasis. Liver tissue is spatially structured, with hepatocytes operating in repeating lobules, and sub-lobule zones performing distinct functions. The liver is also subject to extensive tempo ...

Inference methods for the study of interacting biological oscillators in single-cells

Colas Noé Droin

Biological oscillators are pervasive in biology, covering all aspects of life from enzyme kinetics reactions to population dynamics. Although their behaviour has been intensively studied in the last decades, the recent advances of high-throughput experimen ...

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 ...
