Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes

Jörg Hülsken, Maxim Norkin

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours t ...

Induction of a chromatin boundary in vivo upon insertion of a tad border

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt

Author summary During development, enhancer sequences tightly regulate the spatio-temporal expression of target genes often located hundreds of kilobases away. This complex process is made possible by the folding of chromatin into domains, which are separa ...

Population Genomics of Mycobacterium leprae Reveals a New Genotype in Madagascar and the Comoros

Stefanie Boy-Röttger, Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Pushpendra Singh, Philippe Busso

Human settlement of Madagascar traces back to the beginning of the first millennium with the arrival of Austronesians from Southeast Asia, followed by migrations from Africa and the Middle East. Remains of these different cultural, genetic, and linguistic ...

Exploring the interactions between the human and viral genomes

Jacques Fellay

Over the last decade, genome-wide association studies led to major advances in identifying human genetic variants associated with infectious disease susceptibility. On the pathogen side, comparable methods are now applied to identify disease-modulating pat ...

Genomic Characterization of Mycobacterium lepraeto Explore Transmission Patterns Identifies New Subtype in Bangladesh

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi

Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, is an unculturable bacterium with a considerably reduced genome (3.27 Mb) compared to homologues mycobacteria from the same ancestry. In 2001, the genome ofM. lepraewas first described and subsequently ...

Genomic Analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster Populations Reveals Longitudinal Structure, Continent-Wide Selection, and Previously Unknown DNA Viruses

Bart Deplancke

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation in natural populations have been challenging, a ...

Comparison of chitin‐induced natural transformation in pandemic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann

The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae serves as a model organism for many important processes ranging from pathogenesis to natural transformation, which has been extensively studied in this bacterium. Previous work has deciphered important regulatory circuits ...

A fully joint Bayesian quantitative trait locus mapping of human protein abundance in plasma

Anthony Christopher Davison, Jörg Hager, Hélène Ruffieux, Radu Popescu

Molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses are increasingly popular to explore the genetic architecture of complex traits, but existing studies do not leverage shared regulatory patterns and suffer from a large multiplicity burden, which hampers the ...

Large-scale kinetic metabolic models of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 for consistent design of metabolic engineering strategies

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Milenko Tokic

Background: Pseudomonas putida is a promising candidate for the industrial production of biofuels and biochemicals because of its high tolerance to toxic compounds and its ability to grow on a wide variety of substrates. Engineering this organism for impro ...

Polarly Localized EccE(1) Is Required for ESX-1 Function and Stabilization of ESX-1 Membrane Proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Ming Zhang, Jérémie Piton, Paloma Julia Soler Arnedo

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a slow-growing intracellular bacterium with the ability to induce host cell death and persist indefinitely in the human body. This pathogen uses the specialized ESX-1 secretion system to secrete virulence factors and potent im ...

Mechanistic insights into bacterial metabolic reprogramming from omics-integrated genome-scale models

Noushin Hadadi, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Vikash Kumar Pandey

Understanding the adaptive responses of individual bacterial strains is crucial for microbiome engineering approaches that introduce new functionalities into complex microbiomes, such as xenobiotic compound metabolism for soil bioremediation. Adaptation re ...
