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 ...

Fast and pervasive transcriptomic resilience and acclimation of extremely heat-tolerant coral holobionts from the northern Red Sea

Anders Meibom, Maoz Fine, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Romain Savary

Corals from the northern Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba exhibit extreme thermal tolerance. To examine the underlying gene expression dynamics, we exposed Stylophora pistillata from the Gulf of Aqaba to short-term (hours) and long-term (weeks) heat stress with p ...

Insights gained from a comprehensive all-against-all transcription factor binding motif benchmarking study

Philipp Bucher, Giovanna Ambrosini, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

BackgroundPositional weight matrix (PWM) is a de facto standard model to describe transcription factor (TF) DNA binding specificities. PWMs inferred from in vivo or in vitro data are stored in many databases and used in a plethora of biological application ...

A parallelized, automated platform enabling individual or sequential ChIP of histone marks and transcription factors

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Riccardo Dainese, Daniel Alpern, Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho, Gerard Llimos Aubach

Despite its popularity, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) remains a tedious (>2 d), manually intensive, low-sensitivity and low-throughput approach. Here, we combine principles of microengineering, surface chemistry, and molec ...

Integrated microfluidic tools for the characterization of protein/DNA interactions in vitro and in vivo

Riccardo Dainese

The specific interaction between DNA and proteins constitutes one of the crucial elements in the regulation of gene expression. This thesis focuses on the development and optimization of two microfluidic-based technologies called SMiLE-seq and FloChIP that ...

Transcriptional regulatory logic of the diurnal cycle in the mouse liver

Matteo Dal Peraro, Bart Deplancke, Felix Naef, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Irina Krier, Guillaume Rey, Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi, Jonathan Aryeh Sobel

Many organisms exhibit temporal rhythms in gene expression that propel diurnal cycles in physiology. In the liver of mammals, these rhythms are controlled by transcription-translation feedback loops of the core circadian clock and by feeding-fasting cycles ...

Integrating gene synthesis and microfluidic protein analysis for rapid protein engineering

Sebastian Maerkl, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova, Matthew Christopher Blackburn

The capability to rapidly design proteins with novel functions will have a significant impact on medicine, biotechnology and synthetic biology. Synthetic genes are becoming a commodity, but integrated approaches have yet to be developed that take full adva ...

Phase specific transcriptional regulation of circadian clock and metabolism in mouse liver

Jonathan Aryeh Sobel

The molecular clock has been conserved from cyanobacteria to mammals and is believed to align behavioral and biochemical processes with the diurnal cycle. This cellular mechanism has been an advantage to increase the fitness of organisms through the abilit ...

A large-scale, in vivo transcription factor screen defines bivalent chromatin as a key property of regulatory factors mediating Drosophila wing development

Bart Deplancke

Transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of cell fate. The estimated 755 genes that encode DNA binding domain-containing proteins comprise similar to 5% of all Drosophila genes. However, the majority has remained uncharacterized so far due to the lac ...

Identification and removal of low-complexity sites in allele-specific analysis of ChIP-seq data

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Alisa Yurovsky

Motivation: High-throughput sequencing technologies enable the genome-wide analysis of the impact of genetic variation on molecular phenotypes at unprecedented resolution. However, although powerful, these technologies can also introduce unexpected artifac ...

Principles of ChIP-seq Data Analysis Illustrated with Examples

Philipp Bucher, Giovanna Ambrosini, René Dreos

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a powerful method to determine how transcription factors and other chromatin-associated proteins interact with DNA in order to regulate gene transcription. A single C ...

Characteristic bimodal profiles of RNA polymerase II at thousands of active mammalian promoters

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Kyle Gustafson

Background: In mammals, ChIP-seq studies of RNA polymerase II (PolII) occupancy have been performed to reveal how recruitment, initiation and pausing of PolII may control transcription rates, but the focus is rarely on obtaining finely resolved profiles th ...
