Enteric infection induces Lark-mediated intron retention at the 5 ' end of Drosophila genes

Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Dani Osman, Michael Vincent Frochaux

Background RNA splicing is a key post-transcriptional mechanism that generates protein diversity and contributes to the fine-tuning of gene expression, which may facilitate adaptation to environmental challenges. Here, we employ a systems approach to study ...

HIV host genomics in the era of effective antiretroviral therapy

Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

The introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapy against Human Immunodefi-ciency Virus (HIV) has had a remarkable effect on disease progression and the longevity of infected individuals. However, the establishment of a latent viral reservoir a ...

Trustworthy Face Recognition: Improving Generalization of Deep Face Presentation Attack Detection

Amir Mohammadi

The extremely high recognition accuracy achieved by modern, convolutional neural network (CNN) based face recognition (FR) systems has contributed significantly to the adoption of such systems in a variety of applications, from mundane activities like unlo ...

Adapt or Perish: Evolutionary Rescue in a Gradually Deteriorating Environment

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

We investigate the evolutionary rescue of a microbial population in a gradually deteriorating environment, through a combination of analytical calculations and stochastic simulations. We consider a population destined for extinction in the absence of mutan ...

Improving Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility in Measurement of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP)

Christof Holliger

Biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests used to determine the ultimate methane yield of organic substrates are not sufficiently standardized to ensure reproducibility among laboratories. In this contribution, a standardized BMP protocol was tested in a l ...

Evaluation of Total Reactive Oxide Ratios and Working Solution Ratios on Strength Development in Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers

Venkata Prasanna Bhagath Singh Gangapatnam

Fly ash-based geopolymers are being developed as sustainable alternate binders for producing concrete. The consistent production of a stable geopolymeric binder suitable for use in structural applications from alkaline activation of low-calcium fly ash was ...

Common genetic variants associated with Parkinson's disease display widespread signature of epigenetic plasticity

Philipp Bucher, Giovanna Ambrosini

Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized by a pivotal progressive loss of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and aggregation of alpha-synuclein protein encoded by the SNCA gene. Genome-wide association studies identified almost 100 sequence variants link ...

Chromatin three-dimensional interactions mediate genetic effects on gene expression

David Hacker, Philipp Bucher, Giovanna Ambrosini, Aurélien Dominique Reymond

Studying the genetic basis of gene expression and chromatin organization is key to characterizing the effect of genetic variability on the function and structure of the human genome. Here we unravel how genetic variation perturbs gene regulation using a da ...
