The evolution of DNA sequencing with microfluidics

Bart Deplancke, Johannes Julius Bues, Guido Van Mierlo, Camille Lucie Germaine Lambert

The adoption of microfluidics was fundamental to the development of cost-effective, high-throughput DNA sequencing. As the field progresses towards multi-omics, we reflect on the key concepts underlying microfluidics and how resulting engineering advances ...

Dissecting the brown adipogenic regulatory network using integrative genomics

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