Nitrogen cycling microbial communities: from diversity to interactions and functions

2019

Soil microorganisms form one of the largest biodiversity reservoirs on earth. They also play essential roles in ecosystem functions such as biogeochemical cycling. However, the importance of microbial community diversity and composition for ecosystem functioning is still debated. A sound understanding of the ecological processes governing the assembly of these communities in the environment is also missing. In this talk, I will give examples of how we addressed these knowledge gaps using nitrogen cycling microorganisms as model functional guilds. Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for crop production in agriculture. The nitrogen cycle is also one which was pushed by human activities out…

Linking microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning: The nitrogen cycle example

2014

Microbial communities have a central role in ecosystem processes by driving the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. However, the importance of microbial diversity for ecosystem functioning is still debated. While functional trait-based approaches are commonly used for at least two decades in microbiology, most microbial diversity studies are still carried out with the rRNA genes. This talk will show how metagenomic approaches targeting microbial guilds involved in nitrogen cycling can help bridging microbial community ecology and ecosystem processes in terrestrial environments.

An SVM Ensamble Approach to Detect Irony and Stereotype Spreaders on Twitter

2022

The problem we address in this work is classifying whether a Twitter user has spread Irony and Stereotype or not. We used a text vectorization layer to generate Bag-Of-Words sequences. Then such sequences are passed to three different text classifiers (Decision Tree, Convolutional Neural Network, Naive Bayes). Our final classifier is an SVM. To test and validate our approach we used the dataset provided for the author profiling task organized by PAN@CLEF 2022. Our team (missino) submitted the predictions on the provided test set to participate at the shared task. Over several cross fold validation our approach was able to reach a maximum binary accuracy on the best validation split equal to…

Type 1 Diabetes and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease—The Genetic Link

2021

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are the most frequent chronic autoimmune diseases worldwide. Several autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders tend to occur together. T1D and AITD often cluster in individuals and families, seen in the formation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy (AP). The close relationship between these two diseases is largely explained by sharing a common genetic background. The HLA antigens DQ2 (DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201) and DQ8 (DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302), tightly linked with DR3 and DR4, are the major common genetic predisposition. Moreover, functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (or rare variants) of various genes, such as the cytotoxic T-lym…

The increase in maternal expression of axin1 and axin2 contribute to the zebrafish mutant ichabod ventralized phenotype.

2014

β-Catenin is a central effector of the Wnt pathway and one of the players in Ca(+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion. While many wnts are present and expressed in vertebrates, only one β-catenin exists in the majority of the organisms. One intriguing exception is zebrafish that carries two genes for β-catenin. The maternal recessive mutation ichabod presents very low levels of β-catenin2 that in turn affects dorsal axis formation, suggesting that β-catenin1 is incapable to compensate for β-catenin2 loss and raising the question of whether these two β-catenins may have differential roles during early axis specification. Here we identify a specific antibody that can discriminate selectively for β-…
