Our research group has been investigating gut microbial communities associated with Brazilian aquatic and semi-aquatic herbivores to understand how these underexplored microbial assemblages cope with complex dietary glycans to thrive in this diverse and densely populated...

How is plasticity supported? I will discuss different stories that emphasize a common theme, that plasticity and cellular memory is supported by transcription factor occupancy. We found that the binding of conventional sequence specific...

For protein expression profiling, the combination of mass spectrometry with sample multiplexing creates a unique biological assay where replicates, positive and negative controls, as well as all treatment conditions can be measured in a single experiment. Tandem mass tags (TMT) facilitate these analyses and will soon be...

Early on during development, however, neurons look round and simple without signs of their future complexity. How do neurons develop their sophisticated structure? How do they initially generate domains that later have distinct functions within neuronal circuits, such as the axon? And, can a...

Because of their rapid degradation, intronic RNAs have been classically viewed as splicing by-products. Here, we integrate genome-wide maps of RNA-DNA contacts measured by RADICL-seq with genome radiality maps obtained by GPSeq, to illuminate the spatial distribution and fate of intronic RNAs in the...
