Genetic, molecular and physiological basis of variation in Drosophila gut immunocompetence

Bruno Lemaitre, Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Andreas Massouras, Dani Osman

Gut immunocompetence involves immune, stress and regenerative processes. To investigate the determinants underlying inter-individual variation in gut immunocompetence, we perform enteric infection of 140 Drosophila lines with the entomopathogenic bacterium ...

Population Variation and Genetic Control of Modular Chromatin Architecture in Humans

Bart Deplancke, David Hacker, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Alisa Yurovsky, Gilles Udin

Chromatin state variation at gene regulatory elements is abundant across individuals, yet we understand little about the genetic basis of this variability. Here, we profiled several histone modifications, the transcription factor (TF) PU.1, RNA polymerase ...

Limits and patterns of cytomegalovirus genomic diversity in humans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Cornelia Pokalyuk

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) exhibits surprisingly high genomic diversity during natural infection although little is known about the limits or patterns of HCMV diversity among humans. To address this deficiency, we analyzed genomic diversity among congeni ...

Natural variation in genome architecture among 205 Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel lines

Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras

The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) is a community resource of 205 sequenced inbred lines, derived to improve our understanding of the effects of naturally occurring genetic variation on molecular and organismal phenotypes. We used a ...

Association Study of Common Genetic Variants and HIV-1 Acquisition in 6,300 Infected Cases and 7,200 Controls

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been performed in HIV-1 infected individuals, identifying common genetic influences on viral control and disease course. Similarly, common genetic correlates of acquisition of HIV-1 after exposure have b ...

Genetic interplay between HLA-C and MIR148A in HIV control and Crohn disease

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Variation in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the HLA-C locus determines binding of the microRNA Hsa-miR-148a, resulting in lower cell surface expression of alleles that bind miR-148a relative to those alleles that escape its binding. The HLA-C 3'UTR ...

Rounding Up Natural Gene Expression Variation during Development

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Martin Waszak

Molecular insights into the genetic control of development have been mainly derived from single gene mutant studies. Francesconi and Lehner (2013) report now in Nature a genome-wide map of natural sequence variants that affect the temporal expression dynam ...

The influence of genomic context on mutation patterns in the human genome inferred from rare variants

Jian Li

Understanding patterns of spontaneous mutations is of fundamental interest in studies of human genome evolution and genetic disease. Here, we used extremely rare variants in humans to model the molecular spectrum of single-nucleotide mutations. Compared to ...

Coordinated Effects of Sequence Variation on DNA Binding, Chromatin Structure, and Transcription

Bart Deplancke, David Hacker, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Alisa Yurovsky, Gilles Udin

DNA sequence variation has been associated with quantitative changes in molecular phenotypes such as gene expression, but its impact on chromatin states is poorly characterized. To understand the interplay between chromatin and genetic control of gene regu ...

Utilization of the Scythe C++ open source library for statistical geocomputation in livestock landscape genomics

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Understanding genetic basis of adaptation is of key importance, especially to insure food supply for present and future populations. Cultivated plants and livestock animals are subjected to high selection pressure due to climate change, increasing food nee ...
