However, methods developed for normal diploid genomes, when applied to cancer samples, can result in false discoveries due to the presence of copy number aberrations distorting the ChIP-seq signal. In order to circumvent this issue, our group has developed a set of ChIP-seq data analysis methods for cancer studies (...

Despite the better understanding of the metabolic events that contribute to cancer, the field has not yet clarified (i) how these metabolic events are coordinately elicited, and, importantly, (ii) what differential metabolic cues drive cancer initiation and metastasis.
In order to decipher metabolic drivers of cancer, we...

It is involved in diverse processes such as cell polarity, stem cell differentiation and neuronal plasticity. Such specific localization of mRNAs to subcellular sites requires the recognition of cis-acting localization elements by dedicated RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). For their subsequent translocation along the cytoskeleton,...

BruneauGladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, San Francisco, US“Epigenomic regulation of cardiac differentiation and development”Host: Cedric Notredame (CRG)Abstract:Networks of transcription factors and chromatin remodeling factors regulate cardiac cell fate and morphogenesis, and dominant mutations in these regulatory genes lead to congenital heart defects (CHDs). We have modeled haploinsufficiency of one such transcription factor, TBX5, in mice and in human iPS cells to attempt to understand CHD-related gene regulatory networks. I will also present data on the unusual roles of chromatin...
