  Ismael is back!

  We are happy to welcome Ismael Manzanares Garcia back in the group. Ismael recently completed his studies in biochemistry at the University of Granada, Spain. This summer, he will be working with Romana to test dimensionality reduction approaches on various network metrics that he will calculate for individual patient gene regulatory network models. Previously (summer 2022), Ismael was an Erasmus+ student working with Giulia on deconvolution of...

  New BioRχiv pre-print

  We have a new BioRχiv pre-print as part of a collaboration with researchers from The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø, and contributions from several group members. We modeled co-expression networks to investigate the transcriptional response to tumor necrosis factor alpha in endothelial cells. The pre-print can be found here. For more information on the pre-print, see also our current list of preprints.

  New BioRχiv pre-print

  We have a new BioRχiv pre-print as part of a collaboration with researchers from the Institute of Biotechnology, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Here, we used our network tools (PANDA and LIONESS) to investigate the reduced development of colitis in mice upon enrichment of their environment. This indicated a Myc-driven regulatory network is enhanced by colitis and is attenuated by exposure to an enriched environment, via downmodulation...
