TITLE: "“Cross-tissue multiomics studies reveal gutbrain interactions mediating the effect of Akkermansia muciniphila in counteracting fructose-induced obesity” ABSTRACT: The gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has been implicated in anti-obesity effects, but a systems level understanding of the molecular mechanisms is lacking. We carried out multiomics studies to investigate the molecular cascades mediating the anti-obesity effect of A. muciniphila in a fructoseinduced obesity mouse model. […]
TITLE: "Exercise and tumor genomic landscapes in 2,702 patients with cancer" ABSTRACT: Approximately two-thirds of cancer diagnoses globally are attributed to modifiable lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and inactivity. Conversely, regular exercise is linked to decreased risk of multiple cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Specifically, how exercise impacts tumor genomic […]
TITLE: “Automatic analysis of cryo-electron tomography using computer vision and machine learning.”
TITLE: "Multi-tissue single-cell level understanding of Alzheimer’s disease points to the therapeutic potential of nutritional and metabolic modulation." ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular amyloid […]
TITLE: "Efficient, Multi Sample Inference of Cancer Phylogeny." ABSTRACT: Cancer is characterized by the ongoing accumulation of somatic mutations that may lead to dysregulated cellular proliferation. The selection of advantageous […]
TITLE: "ClusterDE: a post-clustering differentially expressed (DE) gene identification method robust to false-positive inflation caused by double-dipping" ABSTRACT: In typical single-cell RNA-seq data analysis, first, a clustering algorithm is applied […]
TITLE: "Germline structural variants shape prostate cancer clinical and molecular evolution." ABSTRACT: Inherited genetic variation profoundly influences cancer risk and outcome. While the impact of germline single nucleotide polymorphisms has […]
The workshop will cover experimental approaches to protein interaction determination; processing and presentation of interaction data available from online resources, and the role of interaction data in the interpretation of […]
