Unveiling Viruses Associated with Gastroenteritis Using a Metagenomics Approach

Xavier Fernandez Cassi

Acute infectious gastroenteritis is an important illness worldwide, especially on children, with viruses accounting for approximately 70% of the acute cases. A high number of these cases have an unknown etiological agent and the rise of next generation seq ...

Parallel and Scalable Bioinformatics

Stuart Anthony Byma

The field of genomics is likely to become the largest producer of data as a consequence of the large-scale application of next-generation sequencing technology for biological research and personalized medical treatments. The raw sequence data produced by t ...

Computational study of transcription factor binding sites

Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

Any living organism contains a whole set of instructions encoded as genes on the DNA. This set of instructions contains all the necessary information that the organism will ever need, from its development to a mature individual to environment specific resp ...

Blacklisting variants common in private cohorts but not in public databases optimizes human exome analysis

Jacques Fellay, Alessandro Borghesi

Computational analyses of human patient exomes aim to filter out as many nonpathogenic genetic variants (NPVs) as possible, without removing the true disease-causing mutations. This involves comparing the patient's exome with public databases to remove rep ...

Fabrication and practical applications of molybdenum disulfide nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Martina Lihter, Mukeshchand Thakur, Michael Graf, Ke Liu, Jiandong Feng

Among the different developed solid-state nanopores, nanopores constructed in a monolayer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) stand out as powerful devices for single-molecule analysis or osmotic power generation. Because the ionic current through a nanopore is ...

Effect of Fc Receptor Genetic Diversity on HIV-1 Disease Pathogenesis

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Fc receptor (FcR) genes collectively have copy number and allelic polymorphisms that have been implicated in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This variation might also be involved in etiology of infectious diseases. The protective role of Fc- ...

2D nanopores: fabrication, energy harvesting and field-effect sensing

Michael Graf

Solid-state nanopores are man-made, nano-sized openings in membranes separating two chambers containing an electrolyte solution. When applying an electric field across the membrane, the nanopore provides the only path for mobile ions to pass from one side ...

The eukaryotic promoter database in its 30th year: focus on non-vertebrate organisms

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux, René Dreos, Rouayda Cavin Perier

We present an update of the Eukaryotic Promoter Database EPD (http://epd.vital-it.ch), more specifically on the EPDnew division, which contains comprehensive organisms-specific transcription start site (TSS) collections automatically derived from next gene ...

Phage Selection of Cyclic Peptides for Application in Research and Drug Development

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Kaycie Marie Butler

Cyclic peptides can bind to protein targets with high affinities and selectivities, which makes them an attractive modality for the development of research reagents and therapeutics. Additional properties, including low inherent toxicity, efficient chemica ...

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 ...
