Locus-specific HERV expression associated with hepatocellular carcinoma

August 19, 2025

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) harbor accessory proteins that influence cellular processes and have been linked to a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. This study investigates locus-specific HERV expression and its association with gene dysregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a highly prevalent and deadly form of liver cancer worldwide.

The Hi-C contact heat maps obtained after manual correction of genome assemblies. A, A. coluzzii AcolMOP1. B, A. arabiensis AaraD3. From left to right in each heat map, chromosome X, chromosome 2 (2R+2L),  chromosome 3 (3R+3L). The heat maps were produced by JBAT.

Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis

March 15, 2021

We produced chromosome-level genome assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and Hi-C scaffolding approach.

Impact of Antibiotics on the Lung Microbiome and Lung Function in Children With Cystic Fibrosis 1 Year After Hospitalization for an Initial Pulmonary Exacerbation

September 12, 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the microbiome and lung function in people with CF over 1 year after an initial pulmonary exacerbation.

LDA score and relative frequency (inlet) of differentially abundant enriched pathways in the control and treatment groups of the Mencía must (A) and wine (B). Bios: biosynthesis; DUA: degradation/utilization/assimilation; GPME: generation of precursor metabolites and energy; MM: macromolecule modification.

Integrated Fertilization with Bagasse Vermicompost Changes the Microbiome of Mencía Must and Wine

July 27, 2022

Grape marc, or bagasse, is a byproduct of wine production that can be vermicomposted and used as organic fertilizer, which improve grape yields and wine quality

Nasopharyngeal metatranscriptome profiles of infants with bronchiolitis and risk of childhood asthma: a multicentre prospective study

July 13, 2022

Our objectives were to identify metatranscriptome profiles of infant bronchiolitis, and to examine relationship with host transcriptome and asthma development.

Orienting Ordered Scaffolds: Complexity and Algorithms

May 26, 2022

We address the problem of orientating ordered scaffolds as an optimization problem based on given weighted orientations of scaffolds and their pairs.

Relationship of abundant microbial species with the risk of higher severity in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis.

Integrated relationship of nasopharyngeal airway host response and microbiome associates with bronchiolitis severity

August 30, 2022

Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of infant hospitalizations but its immunopathology remains poorly understood.
