Systematic investigation of epistasis in molecular evolution (EinME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Why does a mutation have a deleterious effect when it occurs in one species but shows no apparent consequences on the phenotype when it occurs in another species? What are some of possible explanations on the molecular basis of this phenomenon? Are the computational predictions of the extent of this phenomenon in nature accurate? The present project aims to take a swing at answering, at least part ...

Uncovering and understanding RNA through Massively Parallel Sequencing (RNA-MAPS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The overarching goal of the proposal presented here is the use of massively parallel sequencing for the identification of novel genetic and epigenetic factors playing role in RNA processing. Specifically, we plan to focus on the role of long non-coding RNAs and histone modifications in splicing regulation during cell differentiation. Towards that end, we plan to monitor RNA and chromatin changes a ...

The Role of Non-coding RNA in Protein Networks and Neurodegenerative Diseases (RIBOMYLOME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"A major portion of the eukaryotic genome is occupied by DNA sequences whose transcripts do not code for proteins. This part of the genome is transcribed in a developmentally regulated manner and in response to external stimuli to produce large numbers of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). From the beginning of transcription through splicing and translation, RNA molecules are associated with numerous ...

The germline mutational landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLLrisk)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Jun 20, 2016,

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a cancer of B-lymphocytes, which expands in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and blood. While many genes have been implicated in CLL development through sequencing the genome of tumor cells, they do not completely explain the pathogenesis of the disease, nor define the early events that lead the B-cells to proliferate and become cancerous, accumulating the ...

Small RNA toxicity and DNA damage response in Huntington´s disease (RNAneuroTOX)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Jul 21, 2015,

Huntington´s disease (HD) is an incurable and fatal neurodegenerative disease, manifested by a progressive loss of neurons, causing neuronal motor dysfunction, cognitive decline and death. The disease is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. The CAG expansion induces a neurotoxic effect, mainly thought to be caused by the expanded protein. However, also expanded RNA transc ...
