Modular body organization is found widely across multicellular organisms, and some of them form repetitive modular structures via the process of segmentation. It's vastly interesting to understand how these regularly repeated structures are robustly genera ...

KRAB zinc-finger proteins contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks

Didier Trono, Michaël Imbeault, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid

The human genome encodes some 350 Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs), the products of a rapidly evolving gene family that has been traced back to early tetrapods(1,2). The function of most KZFPs is unknown, but a f ...

Viral genetic variation accounts for a third of variability in HIV-1 set-point viral load in Europe

Jacques Fellay

HIV-1 set-point viral load-the approximately stable value of viraemia in the first years of chronic infection-is a strong predictor of clinical outcome and is highly variable across infected individuals. To better understand HIV-1 pathogenesis and the evol ...

Many important questions in molecular biology, evolution, and biomedicine can be addressed by comparative genomic approaches. One of the basic tasks when comparing genomes is the definition of measures of similarity (or dissimilarity) between two genomes, ...

Multiple Assembly Rules Drive the Co-occurrence of Orthopteran and Plant Species in Grasslands: Combining Network, Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches

François Gillet, Bertrand Fournier

Understanding the factors underlying the co-occurrence of multiple species remains a challenge in ecology. Biotic interactions, environmental filtering and neutral processes are among the main mechanisms evoked to explain species co-occurrence. However, th ...

Phylogenetic comparison of Desulfotomaculum species of subgroup 1a and description of Desulfotomaculum reducens sp.nov.

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi

A genome and physiological comparison was made of the type strains of Desulfotomaculum species belonging to subgroup 1a and of 'Desulfotomaculum reducens' strain MI-1. Phenotypically, 'Desulfotomaculum reducens' strain MI-1 can be distinguished from the ot ...

Red squirrels in the British Isles are infected with leprosy bacilli

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Jérémie Piton, Chloé Marie Loiseau

Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly been observed with leprosy-li ...

Variability in DPA and calcium content in the spores of Clostridium species

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková, Cornelia List, Jan Jamroskovic

Spores of a number of clostridia' species, and their resistance to thermal treatment is a major concern for the food industry. Spore resistance to wet heat is related to the level of spore hydration, which is inversely correlated with the content of calciu ...

A maximum-likelihood approach for building cell-type trees by lifting

Bernard Moret, Philipp Bucher, Yu Lin, Mingfu Shao, Nishanth Ulhas Nair, Paulina Grnarova, Laura Madeleine Hunter

Background: In cell differentiation, a less specialized cell differentiates into a more specialized one, even though all cells in one organism have (almost) the same genome. Epigenetic factors such as histone modifications are known to play a significant r ...
