A boundary-defining protein facilitates megabase-scale regulatory chromosomal loop formation in Drosophila neurons

Regulatory elements, such as enhancers and silencers, control transcription by establishing physical proximity to target gene promoters. Neurons in flies and mammals exhibit long-range three-dimensional genome contacts, proposed to connect genes with dista ...

Secure and federated genome-wide association studies for biobank-scale datasets

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Apostolos Pyrgelis

Sharing data across institutions for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) would enhance the discovery of genetic variation linked to health and disease1,2. However, existing data-sharing regulations limit the scope of such collaborations3. Although crypt ...

A comparative analysis of gene expression profiling by statistical and machine learning approaches

Anaïs Betsabeh Haget, Maria Boulougouri

Motivation Many machine learning (ML) models developed to classify phenotype from gene expression data provide interpretations for their decisions, with the aim of understanding biological processes. For many models, including neural networks, interpretati ...

Antagonism as a Foraging Strategy in Microbial Communities

Martin Ackermann, Lucas Pierre Antoine Paoli

In natural habitats, nutrient availability limits bacterial growth. We discovered that bacteria can overcome this limitation by acquiring nutrients by lysing neighboring cells through contact-dependent antagonism. Using single-cell live imaging and isotopi ...

DNA methylation enables recurrent endogenization of giant viruses in an animal relative

Omaya Pierre Dudin, Marine Olivetta

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is a widespread silencing mechanism that controls genomic parasites. In eukaryotes, 5mC has gained complex roles in gene regulation beyond parasite control, yet 5mC has also been lost in many lineages. The causes for 5mC retention an ...

Context transcription factors establish cooperative environments and mediate enhancer communication

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Guido Van Mierlo, Olga Pushkarev, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Many enhancers control gene expression by assembling regulatory factor clusters, also referred to as condensates. This process is vital for facilitating enhancer communication and establishing cellular identity. However, how DNA sequence and transcription ...

Climate adaptive loci revealed by seascape genomics correlate with phenotypic variation in heat tolerance of the coral Acropora millepora

Oliver Michele Selmoni

One of the main challenges in coral reef conservation and restoration is the identification of coral populations resilient under global warming. Seascape genomics is a powerful tool to uncover genetic markers potentially involved in heat tolerance among la ...

High-content phenotypic analysis of a C. elegans recombinant inbred population identifies genetic and molecular regulators of lifespan

Johan Auwerx, Laurent Mouchiroud, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Xiaoxu Li, Yang Li, Elena Katsyuba, Jean-David Horacio Morel, Wen Gao, Amélia Lalou, Jonathan Allen Sulc, Gaby El Alam

Lifespan is influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Studying those factors in model organisms of a single genetic background limits their translational value for humans. Here, we mapped lifespan determinants in 85 C. e ...

Evaluation of genetic demultiplexing of single-cell sequencing data from model species

Clement Helsens

Single-cell sequencing (sc-seq) provides a species agnostic tool to study cellular processes. However, these technologies are expensive and require sufficient cell quantities and biological replicates to avoid artifactual results. An option to address thes ...

Transcriptional maintenance of cortical somatostatin interneuron subtype identity during migration

Jesper Ryge

Although cardinal cortical interneuron identity is established upon cell-cycle exit, it remains unclear whether specific interneuron subtypes are pre-established, and if so, how their identity is maintained prior to circuit integration. We conditionally re ...

cgNA+: A sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded nucleic acids

Rahul Sharma

DNA mechanics plays a crucial role in many biological processes, including nucleosome positioning and protein-DNA interactions. It is believed that nature employs epigenetic modifications in DNA to further regulate gene expression. Moreover, double-strande ...
