"There is more virus in us than us in us". John Coffin's famous sentence illustrates that particular nucleic acid sequences related to exogenous viruses, called retrotransposons, constitute almost half of the human genome and largely exceeds the amount of ...

Host genetics and HIV-1: the final phase?

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti

This is a crucial transition time for human genetics in general, and for HIV host genetics in particular. After years of equivocal results from candidate gene analyses, several genome-wide association studies have been published that looked at plasma viral ...

Innate Barriers to Genome Invasion

Pierre Maillard

Over the course of evolution, retroviruses and their hosts have been in constant conflict, resulting in a long-term evolutionary "arms race" in which host and pathogen alternately gain selective advantages through functional innovations. On the host side, ...

The specificity of TRIM5{alpha}-mediated restriction is influenced by its coiled-coil domain

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco, Pierre Maillard

Retroviruses are both powerful evolutionary forces and dangerous threats to genome integrity. As such, they have imposed strong selective pressure on their hosts, notably triggering the emergence of restriction factors, such as TRIM5alpha, that act as pote ...

Gene expression profiling in cells with enhanced gamma-secretase activity

Alexandra Marie-Isabelle Karoline Brigitte Magold, Patrick Fraering

BACKGROUND: Processing by gamma-secretase of many type-I membrane protein substrates triggers signaling cascades by releasing intracellular domains (ICDs) that, following nuclear translocation, modulate the transcription of different genes regulating a div ...

Development and characterization of a triple combination gene therapy vector inhibiting HIV-1 multiplication

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde

BACKGROUND: RNA-based approaches are promising for long-term gene therapy against HIV-1. They can target virtually any step of the viral replication cycle. It is also possible to combine anti-HIV-1 transgenes targeting different facets of HIV replication t ...

Differential neuroglycan C expression during retinal degeneration in Rpe65(-/-) mice

Pascal Escher

Purpose: An increased mRNA expression of the genes coding for the extracellular matrix proteins neuroglycan C (NGC), interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 2 (IMPG2), and CD44 antigen (CD44) has been observed during retinal degeneration in mice with a targ ...

Splicy: a web-based tool for the prediction of possible alternative splicing events from Affymetrix probeset data

Philipp Bucher

BACKGROUND: The Affymetrix technology is nowadays a well-established method for the analysis of gene expression profiles in cancer research studies. However, changes in gene expression levels are not the only way to link genes and disease. The existence of ...

Differential gene expression as a toxicant-sensitive endpoint in zebrafish embryos and larvae

Kristin Schirmer

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo toxicity test (DarT) is under consideration as an alternative to the acute fish toxicity test. Microscopically visible developmental disorders or death are the endpoints used to report on toxicity in DarT. These endpoints ...

Tuning silence: conditional systems for RNA interference

Didier Trono

RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful tool to downregulate the expression of specific genes. Drug-inducible systems allowing for conditional RNAi that offer the unique potential to modulate expression of virtually any endogenous gene in the cel ...
