Modeling of transcription mechanisms in mammals from kinetic measurements in single cells

Benjamin Zoller

In mammals, transcription was observed to occur predominantly in bursts, resulting from short and intense periods of gene transcription interspersed by longer silent periods. In order to elucidate the causes and the consequences of discontinuous transcript ...

Parkinson's disease-linked mutations in VPS35 induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration

Bernard Schneider, Liliane Glauser, Elpida Tsika, Guillaume Daniel

Mutations in the vacuolar protein sorting 35 homolog (VPS35) gene at the PARK17 locus, encoding a key component of the retromer complex, were recently identified as a new cause of late-onset, autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we explore the ...

Mathematical models and computational methods for the analysis of genome-scale protein synthesis

Julien Racle

Proteins are a ubiquitous and indispensable element for every living organism, from simple bacteria to mammals. Already in the simplest organisms, there exist some thousands of different protein species that take up a great variety of structures, and thus ...

Computational studies in epigenomics using histone modification data

Nishanth Ulhas Nair

Epigenetic factors like histone modifications are known to play an important role in gene regulation and cell differentiation. Recently, thanks to advances in technologies like ChIP-Seq which is a high-throughput, high resolution, and low cost technology ...

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 ...

An Adeno-Associated Virus-Based Intracellular Sensor of Pathological Nuclear Factor-kappa B Activation for Disease-Inducible Gene Transfer

Elias Georges Gebara

Stimulation of resident cells by NF-kappa B activating cytokines is a central element of inflammatory and degenerative disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). This disease-mediated NF-kappa B activation could be used to drive transgene expression se ...

Inferring gene expression from ribosomal promoter sequences, a crowdsourcing approach

The Gene Promoter Expression Prediction challenge consisted of predicting gene expression from promoter sequences in a previously unknown experimentally generated data set. The challenge was presented to the community in the framework of the sixth Dialogue ...

Identification of HMX1 target genes: A predictive promoter model approach

Purpose: A homozygous mutation in the H6 family homeobox 1 (HMX1) gene is responsible for a new oculoauricular defect leading to eye and auricular developmental abnormalities as well as early retinal degeneration (MIM 612109). However, the HMX1 pathway rem ...

A Critical Assessment of Storytelling: Gene Ontology Categories and the Importance of Validating Genomic Scans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Alexandros Stamatakis

In the age of whole-genome population genetics, so-called genomic scan studies often conclude with a long list of putatively selected loci. These lists are then further scrutinized to annotate these regions by gene function, corresponding biological proces ...
