Molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses are increasingly popular to explore the genetic architecture of complex traits, but existing studies do not leverage shared regulatory patterns and suffer from a large multiplicity burden, which hampers the ...

New drugs are needed to assure effective therapies for previously untreated diseases, emerging diseases, and personalized medicine, but the process of drug development is complex, costly, and time-consuming. This is especially problematic considering that ...

Background: Pseudomonas putida is a promising candidate for the industrial production of biofuels and biochemicals because of its high tolerance to toxic compounds and its ability to grow on a wide variety of substrates. Engineering this organism for impro ...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network alignment is a canonical operation to transfer biological knowledge among species. The alignment of PPI-networks has many applications, such as the prediction of protein function, detection of conserved network mot ...

Altered metabolism is associated with many human diseases. Human genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) were reconstructed within systems biology to study the biochemistry occurring in human cells. However, the complexity of these networks hinders a consiste ...

The future of coral reefs is under threat since anomalous heat waves are causing the death of reef building corals around the world. This phenomenon, known as "coral bleaching", has already resulted in widespread loss of coral over the past 30 years. Witho ...

Despite an unprecedented 2 decades of success, the combat against malaria - the mosquito-transmitted disease caused by Plasmodium parasites - is no longer progressing. Efforts toward eradication are threatened by the lack of an effective vaccine and a rise ...

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...

Plasmodium gene functions in mosquito and liver stages remain poorly characterized due to limitations in the throughput of phenotyping at these stages. To fill this gap, we followed more than 1,300 barcoded P. berghei mutants through the life cycle. We dis ...

Over the last decades, yeast has become a key model organism for the study of lipid biochemistry. Because the regulation of lipids has been closely linked to various physiopathologies, the study of these biomolecules could lead to new diagnostics and treat ...

Plasmodium falciparum is the main cause of disease and death from malaria. P. falciparum virulence resides in the ability of infected erythrocytes (IEs) to sequester in various tissues through the interaction between members of the polymorphic P. falciparu ...

Metabolism is a network of biotransformations that sustain life in cells. Over the past decades, metabolism has been studied in multiple contexts, ranging from medicine to industrial manufacturing. In particular, lipid metabolism has been linked to various ...

Large-scale kinetic models are used for designing, predicting, and understanding the metabolic responses of living cells. Kinetic models are particularly attractive for the biosynthesis of target molecules in cells as they are typically better than other t ...

Systems biology has long been interested in models capturing both metabolism and expression in a cell. We propose here an implementation of the metabolism and expression model formalism (ME-models), which we call ETFL, for Expression and Thermodynamics Flu ...

On January 22-24, 2020, scientific luminaries across the far-flung corners of chemical biology gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to deliver their latest and greatest discoveries in the field. Generously supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SN ...
