SUMMARY:Seminar: Understanding of Plant Adaptation to Different Environment Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Understanding of Plant Adaptation to Different Environment Conditions \nBing CHENG \nAbstract: \nClimate change is threatening many agricultural regions around the globe. Plants are sessile organisms and migrate to more prosperous habitat. How do they approach this is an open question in plant science. This presentation will cover our recent studies exploiting plant phenotypic and genomic information\, to demonstrate how their deployment can help agriculture withstands climate change responsibly and sustainably. Results from these studies will provide insights into the genetic adaptation of plants in a wider range of available future environments. \nShort Bio: \nIn 2019\, Bing gained her PhD degree from The University of Queensland\, Australia under the supervision of Prof. R. Henry. She focused on the genetic improvement of coffee quality through comparative genomics and transcriptomics. She has published the first long-read reference transcriptome for Arabica coffee bean and identified candidate genes regulating essential chemical accumulation during bean ripening. Currently\, Bing Cheng is a postdoctoral fellow from the Crop Production and Biostimulation Laboratory (CPBL) at the Interfaculatry School of Bioengineers\, ULB\, under the guidance of Prof C. Hermans. She is exploiting the natural variability of the model (Arabidopsis) and crop (oilseed rape) species to decipher genetic bases of resource use efficiency\, using genome-wide association studies and global transcriptome analysis. \nAbout CPBL: \nThe Crop Nutrition unit at CPBL focuses on improving resource use efficiency of crops to ensure food security and environmental quality. A considerable fraction of fertilizer to sustain plant biomass production gets lost as runoffs with detrimental consequences to the environment and human health. Faced with those pressing societal costs\, modern agriculture must make a step change to produce biomass with less input. The unit develops synergistic activities in the laboratory\, natural habitat and field environments to identify plant characteristics for improving the resilience of agricultural production. \nThe core research theme developed at CPBL is on the environmentally sustainable intensification of the agricultural system. Research developed by the host group is interdisciplinary and aims at (i) identifying crop characteristics for improving resilience of agricultural production while limiting the environmental footprint\, (ii) providing breeders with selection criteria (including molecular and genomic tools) to develop new crop varieties\, (iii) developing and evaluating methods (in lab and field environments) for performance testing of these varieties.

SUMMARY:Seminar Predicting Protein and RNA Structures via data inference
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Schug\nJohn von Neumann Institute for Computing\, Jülich Supercomputer Centre\, Forschungszentrum Jülich\nFaculty of Biology\, University of Duisburg-Essen \nPredicting Protein and RNA Structures via data inference \nOn the molecular level\, life is orchestrated through an interplay of many biomolecules. To gain any detailed understanding of biomolecular function\, one needs to know their structure. Yet the structural characterization of many important biomolecules and their complexes – typically preceding any detailed mechanistic exploration of their function- remains experimentally challenging. Tools rooted in statistical physics such as Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) but also increasingly Machine Learning driven approaches take advantage of the explosive growth of sequence databases and infer residue co-evolution to guide structure prediction methods via spatial constraints. Going beyond anecdotal cases of a few protein families\, systematic large-scale studies of >1000 protein families are now possible and other information\, such as low-resolution experimental information from\, e.g. SAXS or FRET \, can be used as further constraints in simulations.

SUMMARY:Journal Club: Sylvie
DESCRIPTION:Inverse problem : an application in brain imaging and in cancerology\nInverse problem is a class of models in which we try to determine the causes of a phenomenon from the experimental observations of its effects. During my presentation\, I will speak about two inverse problems that show similarities in their resolution. The first one is in magnetoencephalography where the goal is to find the activated brain regions thanks to measures of the magnetic field outside the skull. The second one is in cancerology where the goal is try to find the percentage of all cell types present in a tumor thanks to sequencing data.

SUMMARY:Seminar Thierry Mora (ENS\, Paris) - Diversity and response in immune repertoires
DESCRIPTION:The diversity of repertoires of B-cell and T-cell receptors is\ngenerated by a stochastic process of gene rearrangement called VDJ\nrecombination\, and is later sculpted by selection\, clonal\nproliferation\, and somatic hypermutations. I will show how these\nprocesses can be learned quantitatively from high-throughput\nrepertoire sequencing data. The resulting models can then be used to\nestimate the diversity of repertoires and their overlap between\nindividuals\, to identify condition-specific immune receptors from\npatient cohort data\, and to detect signatures of immune responses in\nsingle patients\, opening the way for novel sequencing-based diagnostic\nand prognostic tools.

SUMMARY:Seminar Zeynep Kalender Atak\, Heterogeneity of melanoma genomes and cell states (KUL)
DESCRIPTION:Heterogeneity in cancer is a consequence of both irreversible genetic changes and reversible transcriptional changes. Melanoma is prime example for this since on the genomic level melanomas have a high mutational burden leading to inter and intra-tumor heterogeneity while on the transcriptomic level they can be classified into two distinct but highly plastic transcriptional states (termed as proliferative and invasive) leading to intra-tumor heterogeneity. These states potentially play a role in metastasis\, therapy resistance and immune evasion\, thus understanding the mechanisms of this transcriptional plasticity is crucial. In my talk\, I will present our efforts for identifying molecular characteristics of these states using multi-omics approaches ranging from whole genome sequencing to bulk & single-cell transcriptome sequencing.

SUMMARY:Seminar Rob Jelier (KUL) : Simulating Cellular Movements in Early C. elegans Embryogenesis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Understanding how cells position themselves correctly in multicellular environments is a fundamental challenge in developmental biology. We use the invariable embryogenesis of C. elegans and a modelling approach to better understand the underlying mechanisms driving cellular movements. We developed a simulator to model the physical interactions among cells that influence cell motion\, including physical constraints\, cell division\, adhesion\, and active forces. To inform and evaluate simulations we use a dataset of real embryos with microscopy tracked nuclei positions. In the model cells are represented as soft spheres that can repulse and adhere to each other\, and also move and divide. Cell division timings and movement directions are taken from the dataset. The egg shell repulses the cells and is modelled as a convex hull whose shape is derived from the embryo dataset. We use the model to unravel the contribution of purely physical processes in early embryogenesis\, such as the spatial constraints\, egg shape\, and shape changes due to divisions\, and active biological phenomena such as differential adhesion and active movements. The problem is framed as a machine learning approach to find the correct cellular positioning\, where hypotheses are evaluated by learning optimal parameter values on a training set and testing how much they improved cellular positioning. To optimize the model parameters we used evolutionary algorithms. Differential evolution is used for continuous variables and a novel molecule-based evolution scheme optimizes the differential cellular adhesion. At the 8-cell stage our simulations highlight previously described phenomena\, such as a weak basal adhesion force among all cells and active movements for the ABpl and ABpr cells. Also adhesion between E and P3 is suggested\, which matches published results of how descendants of both cells adhere during gastrulation. Our main goal however is to reproduce the complex movements during the AB64 stage. We are currently evaluating our predictions for this phase with experimens\, by visualizing e-cadherin molecules\, cell shapes and the actomyosin network. As a perspective\, we are expanding our simulator with a signaling model. Cell signaling is represented as a network of reactions expressed as logic rules\, where signals trigger cascades and determine cell fate. By modelling how signals affect fate\, linking fate to cell behavior\, we can predict the effects of perturbations on cell fates and positions.

SUMMARY:Seminar Karoline Faust (KUL) : Emergent behaviour in a synthetic gut community
DESCRIPTION:Due to its complexity and the impact of the human host\, it is hard to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the gut microbial community from sequencing data alone. Synthetic communities are an excellent tool to complement in vivo studies. Their dynamics can be accurately monitored while exerting a degree of control that is impossible to achieve in vivo.\nHere\, I will present an in vitro study of a synthetic microbial community consisting of three human gut bacterial strains. We monitored each community member growing in isolation and in co-culture and developed a kinetic model to describe their dynamics.\nThe experiments validate cross-feeding interactions and highlight the special role of Blautia hydrogenotrophica as an interaction partner. When parameterized on mono- and bi-culture data\, our model describes well the observed community dynamics\, but fails to predict community dynamics from mono-cultures alone. RNA-seq applied to mono- and tri-culture samples confirmed a change in behavior. In conclusion\, we showed that gut bacteria respond to their interaction partners\, giving rise to emergent behaviour.

However\, most network inference methods are restricted to specific types of data and assume either causal or non-causal graphical models a priori. We have developed an information-based approach\, which reconstructs causal\, non-causal or mixed networks from large scale genomic or clinical data\, without the need for an a priori choice on the causal or non-causal nature of reconstructed networks. Starting from a fully connected graph\, it first removes dispensable edges by iteratively subtracting the most significant information contributions from indirect paths between each pair of nodes. The remaining edges are then filtered based on their confidence assessment or oriented based on the signature of causality in observational data. This computational approach outperforms or matches state-of-the-art methods for either causal (eg regulatory interaction) or non-causal (eg protein contact map) network reconstruction. In the talk\, I will present different applications on a broad range of biological and clinical data\, from single-cell transcriptomics and genomic alterations in tumor progression to long term evolution of vertebrates through whole genome duplication.

SUMMARY:Multiple mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias studied using anatomically accurate modeling.
DESCRIPTION:Cardiac arrhythmias account for about 1 death in 10 in industrialized countries. Although cardiac arrhythmias has been studied for well over a century\, their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Over the years\, several factors that favor arrhythmias initiation were established. Among them are ionic and dynamical heterogeneity\, remodeling and fibrosis of cardiac tissue. In addition a lot of attention was given to the arrhythmias which occur due to channelopathies which result in the long QT syndrome. In my talk I will present our recent studies on role of these arrhythmogenic factors performed using anatomically accurate model of ventricles of the human heart developed in our group.
