Automated design of thousands of nonrepetitive parts for engineering stable genetic systems

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2020
Engineered genetic systems are prone to failure when their genetic parts contain repetitive sequences. Designing many nonrepetitive genetic parts with desired functionalities remains a difficult challenge with high computational complexity.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

NKX2-5 mutations causative for congenital heart disease retain functionality and are directed to hundreds of targets

open access: yeseLife, 2015
We take a functional genomics approach to congenital heart disease mechanism. We used DamID to establish a robust set of target genes for NKX2-5 wild type and disease associated NKX2-5 mutations to model loss-of-function in gene regulatory networks. NKX2-

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Genetic mapping and transcriptional orientation of the fimD gene [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1983
Expression of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli exhibits phase variation whereby individual cells can alternate between states of organelle expression and nonexpression. Strains carrying fim-lac operon fusions in which lac operon expression is under the control of a fim promoter undergo Lac+ in equilibrium Lac- phase variation. We have determined the

Screening of Transcription Factors Involved in Fetal Hemoglobin Regulation Using Phylogenetic Footprinting

open access: yesEvolutionary Bioinformatics, 2015
Fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) is an important genetic modulator of the beta-hemoglobinopathies. The regulation of Hb F levels is influenced by transcription factors.

The Ultimate (Mis)match: When DNA Meets RNA

open access: yesCells, 2021
RNA-containing structures, including ribonucleotide insertions, DNA:RNA hybrids and R-loops, have recently emerged as critical players in the maintenance of genome integrity.

Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2012
To extend understanding of the genetic architecture and molecular basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), we conducted a meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and 114,981 controls, overwhelmingly of European descent.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.
