The Veitia Lab recently published a new article in Nucleic Acids Research :
The forkhead DNA-binding domain binds specific G2-rich RNA sequences
Abstract:
Transcription factors contain a DNA-binding domain ensuring specific recognition of DNA target sequences. The family of forkhead (FOX) transcription factors is composed of dozens of paralogs in mammals. The forkhead domain (FHD) is a…
Le Ladoux / Mège recently contributed to the publication of a new article in Nature Cell biology :
A mechanosensitive caveolae–invadosome interplay drives matrix remodelling for cancer cell invasion
Abstract:
Invadosomes and caveolae are mechanosensitive structures that are implicated in metastasis. Here, we describe a unique juxtaposition of caveola clusters and matrix degradative invadosomes at contact…
The Camadro Lab recently contributed to the publication of a new article in Briefing in Bioinformatics :
The five pillars of computational reproducibility: bioinformatics and beyond
Abstract:
Computational reproducibility is a simple premise in theory, but is difficult to achieve in practice. Building upon past efforts and proposals to maximize reproducibility and rigor in bioinformatics, we present…
The Courtier Lab recently published a new article in Current Opinion in Insect Science :
The loci of insect phenotypic evolution
Abstract:
Insects are important elements of terrestrial ecosystems because they pollinate plants, destroy crops, transmit diseases to livestock and humans, and are important components of food chains. Here, I used Gephebase, a manually curated database of…
On December 8, 2023, the Conférence Monod-Diderot will welcome Erin Schuman (Max Planck Institute for Brain Research) who will speak on the theme:
Local Neuronal Transcriptomes and Proteomes
Abstract
"The complex morphology of neurons, with synapses located 100’s of microns from the cell body, necessitates the localization of important cell biological machines and processes within dendrites and…
Invited by the Palancade Lab, Alain Nicolas (Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging, Nice, France) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
Mutators and mutational landscapes: from yeast to cancers
Abstract:
Genome sequencing in model organisms and tumors allowed the extraction of mutational landscapes. Our study of numerous S. cerevisiae mutator strains revealed the diversity,…

On November 17, 2023, the Conférence Monod-Diderot will welcome Julian E. Sale (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Francis Crick Avenue, Cambridge) who will speak on the theme:
Genomic determinants of mutation and epimutation
Abstract:
"The ability of certain DNA sequences to form secondary structures means that DNA itself can pose one of the most potent barriers to…
