A Versatile, Low-Cost, Multiway Microfluidic Sorter for Droplets, Cells, and Embryos

Partitioning and sorting particles, including molecules, cells and organisms, is an essential prerequisite for a diverse range of applications. Here, we describe a very economical microfluidic platform (built from parts costing about U.S. $6800 for a stand ...

Combining genotype, phenotype and environment to infer potential candidate genes: An example using the Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda)

Stéphane Joost

Population genomic analyses can be an important tool in understanding local adaptation. Identification of potential adaptive loci in such analyses is usually based on the survey of a large genomic dataset in combination with environmental variables. Phenot ...

Resistance of echovirus 11 to ClO2 is associated with enhanced host receptor use, altered entry routes and high fitness

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Jeffrey David Jensen, Qingxia Zhong, Hyunjin Shim

Waterborne viruses can exhibit resistance to common water disinfectants, yet the mechanisms that allow them to tolerate disinfection are poorly understood. Here, we generated echovirus 11 (E11) with resistance to chlorine dioxide (ClO2) by experimental evo ...

Machine learning-based tools to model and to remove the off-target effect

François Fleuret

A RNA interference, also called a gene knockdown, is a biological technique which consists of inhibiting a targeted gene in a cell. By doing so, one can identify statistical dependencies between a gene and a cell phenotype. However, during such a gene inhi ...

Experimental adaptation of human echovirus 11 to ultraviolet radiation leads to tolerance to disinfection and resistance to ribavirin

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Jeffrey David Jensen, Qingxia Zhong, Hyunjin Shim

Ultraviolet light in the UVC range is a commonly used disinfectant to control viruses in clinical settings and water treatment. Here, we employed an experimental evolution approach to investigate the adaptation of human echovirus 11 to disinfection by UVC, ...

Chromosomal contacts connect loci associated with autism, BMI and head circumference phenotypes

Bart Deplancke, Marion Leleu, Nele Gheldof, Loyse Hippolyte

Copy number variants (CNVs) are major contributors to genomic imbalance disorders. Phenotyping of 137 unrelated deletion and reciprocal duplication carriers of the distal 16p11.2 220 kb BP2-BP3 interval showed that these rearrangements are associated with ...

Microfluidic systems for high-throughput and high-content screening using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia

In a typical high-throughput drug screening (HTS) process, up to millions of chemical compounds are applied to cells cultured in well plates, aiming to find molecules that exhibit a robust dose-response, as evidenced for example by a fluorescence signal. I ...

Genotypic, phenotypic and mechanistic insights into viruses with resistance to common water disinfectants

Qingxia Zhong

Infectious diseases caused by waterborne viruses contribute to the global disease burden. An effective barrier to prevent the discharge of waterborne viruses is a disinfection step, yet disinfection is not always efficient at inactivating viruses. This the ...

The genomic landscape of human cellular circadian variation points to a novel role for the signalosome

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Konstantin Popadin, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin

The importance of natural gene expression variation for human behavior is undisputed, but its impact on circadian physiology remains mostly unexplored. Using umbilical cord fibroblasts, we have determined by genome-wide association how common genetic varia ...

Dissecting the brown adipogenic regulatory network using integrative genomics

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Johannes Julius Bues, Daniel Alpern, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Wanze Chen, Rachana Narendra Pradhan

Brown adipocytes regulate energy expenditure via mitochondrial uncoupling, which makes them attractive therapeutic targets to tackle obesity. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying brown adipogenesis are still poorly understood. To address this, we ...
