Delighted that this work starting with a local TB outbreak and probing the role of an ancestral Mtb variant in dissemination is now out online, led by Joe Saelens, Mollie I. Sweeney PhD, and Gopi Viswanathan. Long collaboration with sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
🧐New ZZ-Lab work Nature Genetics Developmental transposon activation licenses FUTURE antiviral immunity. Duke Pharmacology & Cancer Biology Department Duke Regeneration Center Awesome digest by Juan Botto & Geoff Faulkner (🫡🤝): nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/N nature.com/articles/s4158…
Our latest cellular GWAS paper Cell Genomics reveals a cation channel (MCOLN2) serves as a critical restriction factor for replication of #Salmonella Typhi by Mg2+ deprivation. A thread that goes back 17 years (my youngest student was 7 years old!) 1/10 dlvr.it/SlzYQz
Happy to share our @naturepaper on how past pathogen exposure, human genetics and evolutionary factors (eg Neanderthal introgression) affect population differences in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. Led by Yann Aquino Maxime ROTIVAL and many others! (1/5) nature.com/articles/s4158…
Our most recent work is now published at Nature Genetics. Epigenetic variation impacts individual differences in the transcriptional response to influenza infection. Great collab with Guillaume Bourque lab and huge congrats to the lead author Katie Aracena. Link: shorturl.at/bcdBP
What causes differences in biological sex? In our latest preprint, Angela Jones takes our lab in a new direction, revealing mechanisms of sex-biased gene expression and identifying abundant sex-biased eQTL throughout the genome (1/6) medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
