The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equit...
Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S.; Leitão, Henrique G.; Diedericks, Genevieve; Kirangwa, JosephA genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes containing all ~1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species. As the European node of the ...

Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S; Leitão, Henrique; Diedericks, Genevieve; KIRANGWA, JOSEPHABSTRACT: A global genome database of all of Earth’s species diversity could be a treasure trove of scientific discoveries. However, regardless of the major advances in genome sequencing technologies, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. To contribute to a more complete planetary genomic database, scientists and institutions across the world have united under the Earth BioGenome P...
Reversion of a fungal genetic code alteration links proteome instability with g...
Bezerra, Ana R.; Simões, João; Lee, Wanseon; Rung, Johan; Weil, Tobias; Gut, Ivo G.; Gut, Marta; Bayes, Mónica; Rizzetto, Lisa; Cavalieri, DuccioMany fungi restructured their proteomes through incorporation of serine (Ser) at thousands of protein sites coded by the leucine (Leu) CUG codon. How these fungi survived this potentially lethal genetic code alteration and its relevance for their biology are not understood. Interestingly, the human pathogen Candida albicans maintains variable Ser and Leu incorporation levels at CUG sites, suggesting that this a...
Splicing enhances recruitment of methyltransferase HYPB-Setd2 and methylation o...
de Almeida, Sérgio F.; Grosso, Ana Rita; Koch, Frederic; Fenouil, Romain; Carvalho, Silvia; Andrade, Jorge; Levezinho, Helena; Gut, Marta; Eick, DirkSeveral lines of recent evidence support a role for chromatin in splicing regulation. Here, we show that splicing can also contribute to histone modification, which implies bidirectional communication between epigenetic mechanisms and RNA processing. Genome-wide analysis of histone methylation in human cell lines and mouse primary T cells reveals that intron-containing genes are preferentially marked with histo...
