A Genetic Basis for Altered Sexual Behavior in Mutant Female Mice

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

Although neural substrates of mammalian female mating behavior have been described [1, 2], the association between complex courtship activity and specific underlying mechanisms remains elusive [3]. We have isolated a mouse line that unexpectedly shows alte ...

The role of GIScience in landscape and conservation genetics

Stéphane Joost

In its natural framework, genetic information is embedded within a geographic context. Plants and animals are directly influenced by the specific characteristics of their surrounding environment. Therefore, spatial information is a potentially important el ...

Relatedness and scale dependency in very high resolution digital elevation models derivatives

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

In the field of landscape genetics, environmental variables are needed to assess the influence of the environment on the spatial distribution of the genetic information of animals or plants. However, measuring variables (e.g. temperature, precipitation) at ...

Fluorescence Behavioral Imaging (FBI) tracks identity in heterogeneous groups of Drosophila

Dario Floreano, Pavan P Ramdya, Thomas Schaffter

Distinguishing subpopulations in group behavioral experiments can reveal the impact of differences in genetic, pharmacological and life-histories on social interactions and decision-making. Here we describe Fluorescence Behavioral Imaging (FBI), a toolkit ...

Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Medical Tests Using Genomic Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro

In this paper, we propose privacy-enhancing technologies for medical tests and personalized medicine methods, which utilize patients' genomic data. First, we highlight the potential privacy threats on genomic data and the challenges of providing privacy-pr ...

Parkinson's Disease: Gene Therapies

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Philippe Guillaume Coune

With the recent development of effective gene delivery systems, gene therapy for the central nervous system is finding novel applications. Here, we review existing viral vectors and discuss gene therapy strategies that have been proposed for Parkinson's di ...

Using a random walker on gene expression and protein-protein interaction networks to prioritize candidate genes

Jonas Helfer

Identification of genes underlying human diseases is an important step in understanding and treating genetic disorders. Based on the assumption that related diseases are caused by related genes, several methods for candidate gene prioritization have been p ...

The contribution of remote sensing data for the detection of natural selection signatures in North American Grey Wolves

Sofia Samoili

The current thesis constitutes an interdisciplinary approach of detecting a selection pressure driven by the environment examining the contribution of Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis in the field of Landscape Genetics. Even though several studies have ...
