Collignon Lab – Dissecting signaling hierarchies in the patterning of the mouse primitive streak using micropatterned EpiLC colonies

Congratulations to the Collignon Team for this new paper just published in Stem Cell Reports! Dissecting signaling hierarchies in the patterning of the mouse primitive streak using micropatterned EpiLC colonies Summary Embryo studies have established that the patterning of the mouse gastrula depends on a regulatory network in which the WNT, BMP, and NODAL signaling pathways cooperate,…

Ribes Lab – Divergent transcriptional and transforming properties of PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1 paralogs

Congratulations to the Ribes Team for this new paper just published in PLOS Genetics!   Divergent transcriptional and transforming properties of PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1 paralogs   Abstract The hallmarks of the alveolar subclass of rhabdomyosarcoma are chromosomal translocations that generate chimeric PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 transcription factors. Overexpression of either PAX-FOXO1s results in related cell transformation in animal models. Yet,…

Duharcourt Lab – Paramecium Polycomb repressive complex 2 physically interacts with the small RNA-binding PIWI protein to repress transposable elements

A new paper published by Duharcourt Team in Developmental Cell! Paramecium Polycomb repressive complex 2 physically interacts with the small RNA-binding PIWI protein to repress transposable elements   Summary Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains transcriptionally silent genes in a repressed state via deposition of histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks. PRC2 has also been implicated in silencing transposable elements (TEs), yet how PRC2…

Konstantinides Lab: A complete temporal transcription factor series in the fly visual system

A new paper just published in Nature by Nikos Konstantinides! Congratulations to all the authors   A complete temporal transcription factor series in the fly visual system   Abstract The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is driven by the successive expression…

Courtier Lab: Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates

Congratulations to Roshan Kumar Vijendravarma (Courtier Lab) for this new article published with Pierre Leopold (Institut Curie) in Ecology and Evolution: Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates   Abstract The postulates of developmental instability–sexual selection hypothesis is intensely debated among evolutionary biologists, wherein despite a large amount of empirical data, evidence for…

Duharcourt Lab: GC content, but not nucleosome positioning, directly contributes to intron splicing efficiency in Paramecium

A new paper just published by Duharcourt Team in Genome Research! GC content, but not nucleosome positioning, directly contributes to intron splicing efficiency in Paramecium   Abstract Eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that must be accurately spliced from mRNA precursors. With an average length of 25 nt, the more than 90,000 introns of Paramecium tetraurelia stand among the…
