KRAB zinc-finger proteins and their transposable element targets: between antagonism and cooperation

Jonas Caspar De Tribolet-Hardy

There are 377 Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) in the human genome, making them the largest family of transcription factors. KZFPs are defined by a N-terminal KRAB domain and several zinc-finger domains arranged ...

High-content, targeted RNA-seq screening in organoids for drug discovery in colorectal cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Maxim Norkin

Organoids allow the recapitulation of intestinal homeostasis and cancerogenesis in vitro; however, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based methods for drug screens are missing. We develop targeted organoid sequencing (TORNADO-seq), a high-throughput, high-content d ...

Intestinal stem cells differentiation and its application in cancer therapy

Maxim Norkin

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. Despite extensive research in the field, new therapies targeting CRC are in urgent need. CRC is a highly heterogeneous disease with high levels of intra- and inter-patient heterogeneity. Ca ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Rudolf Hovius, Simone Cavadini, Kristina Makasheva, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Sélène-Véronique Glück, Pauline Ambre Melenec

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...

Comparison of high-throughput sequencing data compression tools

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) data are commonly stored as raw sequencing reads in FASTQ format or as reads mapped to a reference, in SAM format, both with large memory footprints. Worldwide growth of HTS data has prompted the development of compression ...

PyroTRF-ID: a novel bioinformatics methodology for the affiliation of terminal-restriction fragments using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing data

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Jacques Rougemont, Pierre Rossi, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Noam Shani, Lucas Sinclair

Background: In molecular microbial ecology, massive sequencing is gradually replacing classical fingerprinting techniques such as terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) combined with cloning-sequencing for the characterization of microb ...

MER41 repeat sequences contain inducible STAT1 binding sites

Philipp Bucher

Chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with massively parallel sequencing methods (ChIP-seq) is becoming the standard approach to study interactions of transcription factors (TF) with genomic sequences. At the example of public STAT1 ChIP-seq data sets, we ...

Probabilistic base calling of Solexa sequencing data

Felix Naef, Jacques Rougemont, Christian Iseli, Arnaud Amzallag

BACKGROUND: Solexa/Illumina short-read ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing technology produces millions of short tags (up to 36 bases) by parallel sequencing-by-synthesis of DNA colonies. The processing and statistical analysis of such high-throughput dat ...
