Identifying genetic and dietary modulators of metabolic disorders using systems genetics

Long-term consumption of lipid-rich foods can contribute to common metabolic diseases and systemic low-grade inflammation. However, dietary responses and the development of non-communicable diseases are shaped by genetic factors and gene-by-environment int ...

Essential role of Cp190 in physical and regulatory boundary formation

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Julien Dorier, Christian Iseli

Boundaries in animal genomes delimit contact domains with enhanced internal contact frequencies and have debated functions in limiting regulatory cross-talk between domains and guiding enhancers to target promoters. Most mammalian boundaries form by stalli ...

Comprehensive analysis of PM20D1 QTL in Alzheimer's disease

Johannes Gräff, Liliane Glauser, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disorder caused by a combination of genetic and non-genetic risk factors. In addition, an increasing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms also accompany AD. Genetic and epigenetic factors are not ind ...

The interactome of KRAB zinc finger proteins reveals the evolutionary history of their functional diversification

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Julien Léonard Duc, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Coluccio, Julien Paul André Pontis, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid, Cécile Piot, Ruedi Aebersold

Krüppel‐associated box (KRAB)‐containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are encoded in the hundreds by the genomes of higher vertebrates, and many act with the heterochromatin‐inducing KAP1 as repressors of transposable elements (TEs) during early embryogene ...

Large-scale variational inference for Bayesian joint regression modelling of high-dimensional genetic data

Hélène Ruffieux

Genetic association studies have become increasingly important in understanding the molecular bases of complex human traits. The specific analysis of intermediate molecular traits, via quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies, has recently received much atte ...

Sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) goes through an all-male stage and is delayed in genetic males who instead grow faster

Oliver Michele Selmoni

Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during sex differentiation. Here we describe sex differentiation in a wild grayling (Thymallus thymallus) population that suffers from distorted sex ratios. We verified that sex determin ...

The Number of Genomic Copies at the 16p11.2 Locus Modulates Language, Verbal Memory, and Inhibition

Bogdan Draganski, Nouchine Hadjikhani, Loyse Hippolyte, Borja Rodriguez Herreros

BACKGROUND: Deletions and duplications of the 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus are prevalent copy number variations (CNVs), highly associated with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Beyond language and global cognition, neuropsychological assessments of thes ...

Models that include supercoiling of topological domains reproduce several known features of interphase chromosomes

Julien Dorier, Yannis Burnier, Fabrizio Benedetti, Andrzej Stasiak

Understanding the structure of interphase chromosomes is essential to elucidate regulatory mechanisms of gene expression. During recent years, high-throughput DNA sequencing expanded the power of chromosome conformation capture (3C) methods that provide in ...

Single locus of control in a tangible paper-based tabletop application: An Exploratory Study

Pierre Dillenbourg, Luis Pablo Prieto Santos, Daniela Caballero Díaz, Yun Wen

Multiple loci of control is one of the main affordances of tangible tabletop UIs due to their capability for simultaneous manipulation. However, there is a tension between the efficiency given by simultaneous manipulation and the need to coordinate and ref ...

Effects of ploidy and sex-locus genotype on gene expression patterns in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta

Chitsanu Khurewathanakul, Oksana Riba Grognuz, Laurent Keller

Males in many animal species differ greatly from females in morphology, physiology and behaviour. Ants, bees and wasps have a haplodiploid mechanism of sex determination whereby unfertilized eggs become males while fertilized eggs become females. However, ...
