Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic variants linked to human diseases, mostly located in non-coding regions of the genome, particularly in putative enhancers. However, functional assessment of the non-coding GWAS variants has progressed at slow pace, since the functions of the vast majority of genomic enhancers h...
The detection of cytosolic dsDNA is tightly regulated to avoid pathological inflammatory responses. A major pathway involved in their detection relies on the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) that triggers activation of the Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) which subsequently drives the expression of inflammatory genes and type I Interferons (IFN...

VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) is a recently discovered autoinflammatory disorder linked to somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene, resulting in a profound cytoplasm-restricted defect in ubiquitylation. The disease is characterized by a macrocytic anemia that remains poorly understood. To investigate the erythroid line...
Targeted genome editing holds great promise in biology. However, efficient genome modification, including gene knock-in (KI), remains an unattained goal in multiple cell types and loci due to poor transfection efficiencies and low target genes expression, impeding the positive selection of recombined cells. Here, we describe a genome editing approa...
Background:
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) offers unprecedented opportunities for the discovery of causative gene variants in multiple human disorders including cancers, and has revolutionized clinical diagnostics. However, despite more than a decade of use of HTS-based assays, extracting relevant functional information from whole-exome sequencin...
Genome-wide analysis of transcription factors and epigenomic features is instrumental to shed light on DNA-templated regulatory processes such as transcription, cellular differentiation or to monitor cellular responses to environmental cues. Two decades of technological developments have led to a rich set of approaches progressively pushing the lim...

Motivation
Amplicon-based nanopore sequencing is increasingly used for molecular surveillance during epidemics (e.g. ZIKA, EBOLA) or pandemics (e.g. SARS-CoV-2). However, there is still a lack of versatile and easy-to-use tools that allow users with minimal bioinformatics skills to perform the main steps of downstream analysis, from quality testing...

Myelofibrosis (MF) are a non-BCR-ABL myeloproliferative neoplasms (NMPs) associated with poor outcomes. Current treatment has little effect on the natural history of the disease. MF results from complex interactions between 1) the malignant clone, 2) an inflammatory context, and 3) remodeling of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. Each of these...
The role of ribosome biogenesis in erythroid development is supported by the recognition of erythroid defects in ribosomopathies in both Diamond-Blackfan anemia and 5q- syndrome. Whether ribosome biogenesis exerts a regulatory function on normal erythroid development is still unknown. In the present study, a detailed characterization of ribosome bi...
Viruses are able to evolve in vitro by mutations after serial passages in cell cultures, which can lead to either a loss, or an increase, of virulence. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), a 295-kb double-stranded DNA virus, is the etiological agent of the koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD). To assess the influence of serial passages, an isolate of CyHV-3...
In this chapter, we describe a cryopreservation (liquid nitrogen, −196 °C) protocol developed for long-term storage of date palm pro-embryonic masses (PEMs), which uses the recently established D cryo-plate technique. Clumps of PEMs (3–5 mm in size) were dissected from PEM cultures and placed on pretreatment medium containing 171 g/L sucrose for 3...
Le palmier dattier (Phoenix dactylifera L.) a une grande importance écologique et socio-économique dans les zones arides et semi-arides du globe. Cette espèce présente une grande diversité (plus de 2.000 variétés identifiées) qui est menacée par la production à grande échelle de variétés élites. Il est nécessaire de développer des techniques permet...
In this work, we studied the impact of the successive steps of the droplet-vitrification protocol technique employed for cryopreservation of Rubia akane hairy roots on the features of cortical, pericycle and endoderm cells of apical and central root segments, using histology techniques and combining qualitative and quantitative observations. In api...
An efficient protocol for cryopreservation of madder hairy root cultures has been developed using droplet-vitrification. In previous study, combining loading solution C4 (35% PVS3) and vitrification solution B5 (80% PVS3) was the most effective method. In this study, we tried three types of vitrification solution, B5, A3 (90% PVS2, on ice), and A5...
