Species-specific regulation of XIST by the JPX/FTX orthologs

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is an essential process, yet it initiates with remarkable diversity in various mammalian species. XIST, the main trigger of XCI, is controlled in the mouse by an interplay of lncRNA genes (LRGs), some of which evolved concom ...

Wide-scale identification of novel/eliminated genes responsible for evolutionary transformations

Daria Korotkova

BackgroundIt is generally accepted that most evolutionary transformations at the phenotype level are associated either with rearrangements of genomic regulatory elements, which control the activity of gene networks, or with changes in the amino acid conten ...

An automated do-it-yourself system for dynamic stem cell and organoid culture in standard multi-well plates

Matthias Lütolf, Sebastian Maerkl, Hao-An Hsiung, Zoe Newell Swank, Stefano Davide Vianello, Julia Tischler

We present a low-cost, do-it-yourself system for complexmammalian cell culture under dynamically changing medium formulations by integrating conventional multi-well tissue culture plates with simple microfluidic control and system automation. We demonstrat ...

Understanding the Mechanobiology of Early Mammalian Development through Bioengineered Models

Matthias Lütolf, Stefano Davide Vianello

Research in developmental biology has been recently enriched by a multitude of in vitro models recapitulating key milestones of mammalian embryogenesis. These models obviate the challenge posed by the inaccessibility of implanted embryos, multiply experime ...

Hotair Is Dispensible for Mouse Development

Denis Duboule, Anamaria Necsulea

Despite the crucial importance of Hox genes functions during animal development, the mechanisms that control their transcription in time and space are not yet fully understood. In this context, it was proposed that Hotair, a lncRNA transcribed from within ...

A mammalian transcription factor-specific peptide repository for targeted proteomics

Bart Deplancke, Jovan Simicevic, Romain Hamelin, Marc Moniatte

Site-specific transcription factors (TFs) play an essential role in mammalian development and function as they are vital for the majority of cellular processes. Despite their biological importance, TF proteomic data is scarce in the literature, likely due ...

Evolutionary dynamics of coding and non-coding transcriptomes

Anamaria Necsulea

Gene expression changes may underlie much of phenotypic evolution. The development of high-throughput RNA sequencing protocols has opened the door to unprecedented large-scale and cross-species transcriptome comparisons by allowing accurate and sensitive a ...

RoboGen: Robot Generation through Artificial Evolution

Dario Floreano, Ilya Loshchilov, Joshua Evan Auerbach, Andrea Maesani, Ludovic Daler, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Titus Cieslewski, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Deniz Aydin, Pradeep Ruben Fernando

Science instructors from a wide range of disciplines agree that hands-on laboratory components of courses are pedagogically necessary (Freedman, 1997). However, certain shortcomings of current laboratory exercises have been pointed out by several authors ( ...

Retinoic acid signaling organizes endodermal organ specification along the entire antero-posterior axis

Anne Grapin-Botton

BACKGROUND: Endoderm organ primordia become specified between gastrulation and gut tube folding in Amniotes. Although the requirement for RA signaling for the development of a few individual endoderm organs has been established a systematic assessment of i ...
