Hypermutability of Genes in Homo sapiens Due to the Hosting of Long Mono-SSR
Etienne Loire,Françoise Praz,Françoise Praz,Dominique Higuet,Pierre Netter,Pierre Netter,Pierre Netter,Guillaume Achaz +7 more
TL;DR: This work identifies 1,291 human genes that host a mononucleotide SSR long enough to be prone to expansion or contraction, being called hypermutable hereafter, and shows that for almost all functions the authors observe fewerhypermutable sequences than expected under a neutral model.
Journal ArticleDOI
An appeal for an objective, open, and transparent scientific debate about the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
Jacques van Helden,Colin D. Butler,Guillaume Achaz,Bruno Canard,Didier Casane,Jean-Michel Claverie,Fabien Colombo,Virginie Courtier,Richard H. Ebright,François Graner,Milton Leitenberg,Serge Morand,Nikolai Petrovsky,Rossana Segreto,Etienne Decroly,José Halloy +15 more
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Heuristic for Local Multiple Alignment of Interspersed DNA Repeats
Todd J. Treangen,Aaron E. Darling,Guillaume Achaz,Mark A. Ragan,Xavier Messeguer,Eduardo P. C. Rocha +5 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel method that couples a gapped extension heuristic with an efficient filtration method for identifying interspersed repeats in genome sequences and outperforms a related method in terms of sensitivity, positive predictive value, and localizing boundaries of homology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is reproductive strategy a key factor in understanding the evolutionary history of Southern Ocean Asteroidea (Echinodermata)
Camille Moreau,Bruno Danis,Quentin Jossart,Quentin Jossart,Marc Eleaume,Chester J. Sands,Guillaume Achaz,Guillaume Achaz,Antonio Agüera,Thomas Saucède +9 more
TL;DR: Broadcasters are less spatially structured than brooders supporting the previously formulated hypothesis of a past trans‐Antarctic seaway established between the Ross and the Weddell seas during the Plio‐Pleistocene and suggesting more complex evolutionary histories associated to this reproductive strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the Meiosis-Specific Recombinase Dmc1 of Pneumocystis
Geetha Kutty,Guillaume Achaz,Frank Maldarelli,Ashok Varma,Robert Shroff,Steven Becker,Giovanna Fantoni,Joseph A. Kovacs +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an orthologue of dmc1, a gene specific for meiotic recombination in yeast, was identified and characterized in three species of Pneumocystis.
