A Coordinated Progression of Progenitor Cell States Initiates Urinary Tract Development

A Coordinated Progression of Progenitor Cell States Initiates Urinary Tract Development Oraly Sanchez-Ferras from the Goodman Cancer Research Centre recently published a paper in Nature Communications. She reveals how the formation of tissues proceeds through a progression of different progenitors. This understanding is important for the generation of organ [Read more]

Whole Genome STR Analysis

Whole Genome STR Analysis By David Lougheed About Short Tandem Repeats In early 2021, Jeffrey Hyacinthe, another student here in Guillaume Bourque’s lab, wrote about repetitive sequences, focusing on transposable elements (TEs). Here I will discuss another type of repetitive sequence: short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites. [Read more]

New study analyzes different mechanisms in the establishment of sex-phenotype dependent methylation in mouse livers By Hector Galvez and Qinwei Zhuang AlOgayil, N., Bauermeister, K., Galvez, J.H. et al. Distinct roles of androgen receptor, estrogen receptor alpha, and BCL6 in the establishment of sex-biased DNA methylation in mouse liver. [Read more]

McGill researchers awarded Azrieli Science Grant for RNA and the brain

McGill researchers awarded Azrieli Science Grant for RNA and the brain Dr. Wayne Sossin, Professor at The Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Montreal, has been awarded a grant through the Azrieli Science Grants Program as principal investigator for a research project titled “Determining how stalled polysomes are generated for [Read more]

Astronaut gut microbiome alterations induced by long-duration confinement

Astronaut gut microbiome alterations induced by long-duration confinement Throughout long-duration spaceflight, maintaining astronaut health is crucial to the feasibility of a manned mission to Mars. In the longest controlled human confinement study conducted to date, the ground-based Mars500 experiment investigated long-duration health by isolating six astronauts for 520 days. [Read more]

The Biobanque Québécoise

The Biobanque Québécoise The Biobanque Québécoise de la COVID-19 (BQC19) is a province-wide biobank which mission is to provide high-quality data and samples to the scientific and medical community in order to better understand, combat and limit the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This initiative is led [Read more]
