Targeting the tumor mutanome for personalized vaccination therapy
2012
Next generation sequencing enables identification of immunogenic tumor mutations targetable by individualized vaccines. In the B16F10 melanoma system as pre-clinical proof-of-concept model, we found a total of 563 non-synonymous expressed somatic mutations. Of the mutations we tested, one third were immunogenic. Immunization conferred in vivo tumor control, qualifying mutated epitopes as source for effective vaccines.
Usher syndrome : molecular analysis of USH2 genes and development of a next-generation sequencing platform
2013
El síndrome de Usher (USH) es una enfermedad hereditaria autosómica recesiva, caracterizada por la asociación de hipoacusia neurosensorial, retinosis pigmentaria y, en ocasiones, alteración de la función vestibular. Clínicamente, el USH se puede clasificar en tres tipos (USH1, USH2 y USH3), principalmente en base a la gravedad y progresión de la hipoacusia y presencia o no de disfunción vestibular. El USH es heterogéneo tanto a nivel clínico como genético y, hasta la fecha, se han descrito 11 genes implicados en la enfermedad. El USH2 es la forma más común y tres son los genes responsables conocidos: USH2A (72 exones), GPR98 (90 exones) y DFNB31 (12 exones). USH2A es responsable de más del …

Deep sequencing of the human retinae reveals the expression of odorant receptors
2017
Several studies have demonstrated that the expression of odorant receptors (ORs) occurs in various tissues. These findings have served as a basis for functional studies that demonstrate the potential of ORs as drug targets for a clinical application. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the first evaluation of the mRNA expression of ORs and the localization of OR proteins in the human retina that set a stage for subsequent functional analyses. RNA-Sequencing datasets of three individual neural retinae were generated using Next-generation sequencing and were compared to previously published but reanalyzed datasets of the peripheral and the macular human retina and to reference…

Grazing intensity in subarctic tundra affects the temperature adaptation of soil microbial communities
2015
Abstract Grazing by large ungulates, such as reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.), in subarctic tundra exerts a considerable effect on the soil microclimate. Because of higher insulation by the aboveground vegetation in light versus heavily grazed areas, soil temperatures during the growing season are considerably higher under heavy grazing. Here, we hypothesized that these grazer-induced changes in soil microclimate affect the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial activity. To test this hypothesis, we conducted soil incubations at different temperatures (4 °C, 9 °C and 14 °C) for six weeks using soils from sites with contrasting long-term grazing intensities. Microbial respiration at low te…
Prediction of the next value of a function
1981
The following model of inductive inference is considered. Arbitrary set tau = {tau_1, tau_2, ..., tau_n} of n total functions N->N is fixed. A "black box" outputs the values f(0), f(1), ..., f(m), ... of some function f from the set tau. Processing these values by some algorithm (a strategy) we try to predict f(m+1) from f(0), f(1), ..., f(m). Upper and lower bounds for average error numbers are obtained for prediction by using deterministic and probabilistic strategies.
