Disentangle genus microdiversity within a complex microbial community by using a multi-distance long-read binning method: example of Candidatus Accumulibacter

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aline Sondra Adler, Simon Marius Jean Poirier

Complete genomes can be recovered from metagenomes by assembling and binning DNA sequences into metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs). Yet, the presence of microdiversity can hamper the assembly and binning processes, possibly yielding chimeric, highly fragm ...

2D MoS2 Nanopores: Wafer-scale Fabrication and Monolayer Stability for Long-term Single-Molecule Sensing

Mukeshchand Thakur

Biologically inspired solid-state nanopores are artificial openings or apertures in thin membranes similar to natural protein ion channels in a lipid bilayer of cell membranes. In solid-state nanopores, a thin insulating membrane with single or multiple po ...

Ultrafast homomorphic encryption models enable secure outsourcing of genotype imputation

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, David Jules Froelicher, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat

Genotype imputation is a fundamental step in genomic data analysis, where missing variant genotypes are predicted using the existing genotypes of nearby "tag"variants. Although researchers can outsource genotype imputation, privacy concerns may prohibit ge ...

Optimised biomolecular extraction for metagenomic analysis of microbial biofilms from high-mountain streams

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Jade Brandani, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Glacier-fed streams (GFS) are harsh ecosystems dominated by microbial life organized in benthic biofilms, yet the biodiversity and ecosystem functions provided by these communities remain under-appreciated. To better understand the microbial processes and ...

Predicting the Occurrence of Variants in RAG1 and RAG2

Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Dylan Lawless

While widespread genome sequencing ushers in a new era of preventive medicine, the tools for predictive genomics are still lacking. Time and resource limitations mean that human diseases remain uncharacterized because of an inability to predict clinically ...

Systems genetics approaches to probe gene function

Hao Li

Genes are the functional units of heredity. However, the functions of many genes remain unknown, which impedes the understanding of the underlying mechanism of complex traits and diseases. Systems genetics approaches try to understand the complexity underl ...
