Polymorphisms of large effect explain the majority of the host genetic contribution to variation of HIV-1 virus load

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Istvan Bartha

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of HIV-1-infected populations have been underpowered to detect common variants with moderate impact on disease outcome and have not assessed the phenotypic variance explained by genome-wide additive effects. ...

Quantitative Estimation of Biological Cell Surface Receptors by Segmenting Conventional Fluorescence Microscopy Images

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Paolo Silacci, Julien Michel Ghaye

State-of-the-art techniques for measuring and monitoring gene level expression rely on messenger RNA (mRNA) extraction and quantification, usually based on the concept of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In this paper, we take adva ...

Functional characterization of the TERRA transcriptome at damaged telomeres

Joachim Lingner, Jacques Rougemont, Antonio Porro, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomere deprotection occurs during tumorigenesis and aging upon telomere shortening or loss of the telomeric shelterin component TRF2. Deprotected telomeres undergo changes in chromatin structure and elicit a DNA damage response (DDR) that leads to cellul ...

A three-state model for the regulation of telomerase by TERRA and hnRNPA1

Joachim Lingner, Sophie Redon, Ivo Zemp

Telomeres, the physical ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA), a large non-coding RNA, which forms an integral part of telomeric heterochromatin. In vitro, naked TERRA molecules are efficient inhibitor ...

A genome-to-genome analysis of associations between human genetic variation, HIV-1 sequence diversity, and viral control

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Istvan Bartha

HIV-1 sequence diversity is affected by selection pressures arising from host genomic factors. Using paired human and viral data from 1071 individuals, we ran >3000 genome-wide scans, testing for associations between host DNA polymorphisms, HIV-1 sequence ...

Implementation of cell-free biological networks at steady state

Sebastian Maerkl, Henrike Marie Niederholtmeyer, Viktoria Stepanova

Living cells maintain a steady state of biochemical reaction rates by exchanging energy and matter with the environment. These exchanges usually do not occur in in vitro systems, which consequently go to chemical equilibrium. This in turn has severely cons ...

The Phosphate Specific Transport (Pst) System in Fast- and Slow-Growing Mycobacteria

Cyntia De Piano

Although mycobacteria are known to accumulate polyphosphate (PolyP), a linear polymer of orthophosphate, when subjected to stresses, the exact roles of this molecule are not yet clearly understood. We found that deletion of the pstA gene encoding for a tra ...
