  New BioRχiv pre-print

  We have a new BioRχiv pre-print, which was work in collaboration with researchers from the University of Paris-Saclay, INRAE, CNRS. Maud Fagny modeled enhancer-driven regulatory networks for different maize tissues. This led to the discovery of tissue-specific regulatory modules involved in distinct functions related to the biology of each tissue, as well as the identification of transposable elements that have shaped the regulatory network in each...

  PUMA accepted in Bioinformatics

  Our miRNA-target gene regulatory network reconstruction algorithm PUMA has been accepted for publication in Bioinformatics. We included an analysis on 38 tissues from GTEx to characterize tissue-specific regulation by miRNAs, identify miRNA functions, and their associations to disease. For more information, please see the publications and tools sections. The method is also available on NetZoo.

  Presentation at ISMB 2020

  We're excited to announce that we'll be attending the ISMB virtual conference this summer (July 13-16). Marieke will be giving an oral presentation in which we will introduce our PUMA tool and its application to tissues from GTEx to understand tissue-specific miRNA regulation.
