dRYBP Contributes to the Negative Regulation of the Drosophila Imd Pathway

The Drosophila humoral innate immune response fights infection by producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) through the microbe-specific activation of the Toll or the Imd signaling pathway. Upon systemic infection, the production of AMPs is both positively a ...

Influence of CRTC1 Polymorphisms on Body Mass Index and Fat Mass in Psychiatric Patients and the General Adult Population

Pierre Magistretti, Murielle Bochud, Jean-René Cardinaux

IMPORTANCE There is a high prevalence of obesity in psychiatric patients, possibly leading to metabolic complications and reducing life expectancy. The CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) gene is involved in energy balance and obesity in ani ...

European genetic diversity and susceptibility to pathogens

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti

Infectious diseases, both in their endemic and epidemic forms, have shaped the human genome. Ecology has also contributed to geographically constrained pressures on human populations. There are now multiple examples of population-specific genetic variants ...

Uncovering the genetic basis of adaptive change: on the intersection of landscape genomics and theoretical population genetics

Stéphane Joost, Jeffrey David Jensen, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Sylvie Stucki, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer

A workshop recently held at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) was dedicated to understanding the genetic basis of adaptive change, taking stock of the different approaches developed in theoretical population genetics and land ...

Inference about the number of contributors to a DNA mixture: Comparative analyses of a Bayesian network approach and the maximum allele count method

Kjell Konis

In the forensic examination of DNA mixtures, the question of how to set the total number of contributors (N) presents a topic of ongoing interest. Part of the discussion gravitates around issues of bias, in particular when assessments of the number of cont ...

Evidence Of Adaptation From Ancestral Variation In Young Populations Of Beach Mice

Jeffrey David Jensen

To understand how organisms adapt to novel habitats, which involves both demographic and selective events, we require knowledge of the evolutionary history of populations and also selected alleles. There are still few cases in which the precise mutations ( ...

Personal receptor repertoires: olfaction as a model

Sebastian Martin Waszak

Background: Information on nucleotide diversity along completely sequenced human genomes has increased tremendously over the last few years. This makes it possible to reassess the diversity status of distinct receptor proteins in different human individual ...

Interleukin 28B polymorphisms are the only common genetic variants associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C and determine the association between LDL-C and treatment response

Jacques Fellay, Qing Zhu

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and interleukin 28B (IL28B) polymorphism are associated with sustained viral response (SVR) to peginterferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. IL28B has been linked with LDL-C ...

Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome inducing mutations in the ectodomain of anthrax toxin receptor 2 can be rescued by proteasome inhibitors

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Julie Deuquet Ariosa, Suzanne Salvi

Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (HIS) is a human genetic disease caused by mutations in the anthrax toxin receptor 2 (or cmg2) gene, which encodes a membrane protein thought to be involved in the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix. Little is known about ...

Nominal and ordinal predictors in logistic regression for the identification of adaptive loci in animal and plant populations

Stéphane Joost, Michaël Kalbermatten

When searching for loci possibly under selection in the genome, an alternative to population genetics theoretical models is to establish allele distribution models for each locus to directly correlate allelic frequencies and environmental variables like pr ...
