Expertise en Biostatistique et Bioinformatique
Avant de réaliser des analyses différentielles, nous mettons en œuvre diverses méthodes pour évaluer la qualité des données et leur cohérence avec la conception expérimentale. Nous traitons les valeurs aberrantes et les effets non liés à la conception, garantissant ainsi la pertinence de l’analyse.
Les conceptions expérimentales impliquent souvent plusieurs facteurs tels que le donneur, le type cellulaire, le traitement, la dose et les points temporels. Pour répondre aux questions biologiques de l’étude, AltraBio identifie le modèle statistique le plus approprié, en tenant compte des conceptions appariées, des corrections d’effets de lot, de l’estimation de facteurs cachés et de la pondération des valeurs aberrantes.
AltraBio excelle dans l’intégration de divers types de données (multi-omiques, cytométrie, données médicales, etc.). Nous utilisons des techniques d’apprentissage automatique supervisé et non supervisé pour des applications telles que l’identification de biomarqueurs, la classification et les modèles prédictifs pour le diagnostic ou la réponse au traitement. Nos clients bénéficient de notre maîtrise des algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique de pointe.
Expertise en Biologie
Nous identifions les processus biologiques et les voies par le biais de méthodes complémentaires d’enrichissement de catégories fonctionnelles. Ces résultats automatisés sont ensuite examinés pour évaluer leur pertinence dans le contexte biologique de l’étude.
Au-delà de la fourniture de listes de molécules et de voies biologiques, AltraBio extrait des informations significatives. Lors de la phase d’interprétation, nous considérons les questions biologiques initiales et évaluons les résultats en intégrant les connaissances biologiques disponibles dans la littérature scientifique et les bases de données. Notre objectif est de comprendre les mécanismes biologiques en jeu et de formuler de nouvelles hypothèses à valider.

abstract = {In this work, we studied the generation of memory precursor cells following an acute infection by analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data that contained CD8 T cells collected during the postinfection expansion phase. We used different tools to reconstruct the developmental trajectory that CD8 T cells followed after activation. Cells that exhibited a memory precursor signature were identified and positioned on this trajectory. We found that these memory precursors are generated continuously with increasing numbers arising over time. Similarly, expression of genes associated with effector functions was also found to be raised in memory precursors at later time points. The ability of cells to enter quiescence and differentiate into memory cells was confirmed by BrdU pulse-chase experiment . Analysis of cell counts indicates that the vast majority of memory cells are generated at later time points from cells that have extensively divided.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of contact allergy (CA) to Amerchol L-101 (AL-101), a marker for lanolin allergy, is problematic. Positive patch test reactions are frequently doubtful or weakly positive and difficult to associate with clinical relevance.
OBJECTIVE: To gain further insight on the allergic or irritant nature of skin reactions induced by AL-101 patch test.
METHODS: We re-tested in a dose-response fashion, 10 subjects with AL-101 CA and performed comprehensive transcriptomic analysis (gene arrays, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction [qRT-PCR]) of samples of their skin reactions.
RESULTS: Eight of the 10 CA subjects reacted positively upon re-test, whereas two did not react. Most of AL-101 positive patch tests expressed an allergy signature with strong activation of gene modules associated with adaptive immunity and downregulation of cornification pathway genes. In addition, the breadth of gene modulation correlated with the magnitude of patch test reactions and the concentration of AL-101 applied. However, we observed that some of the positive patch test reactions to AL-101 expressed no/few allergy biomarkers, suggesting the induction of an irritant skin inflammation in these samples.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that AL-101 is an allergen that can cause both contact allergy and contact irritation. Our results also highlight that molecular profiling might help to strengthen clinical diagnosis.},

abstract = {Most marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle during which a pelagic larva is transformed into a radically different juvenile. In vertebrates the role of thyroid hormones (TH) in triggering this transition is well known, but how the morphological and physiological changes are integrated in a coherent way with the ecological transition remains poorly explored. To gain insight into this question, we performed an integrative analysis of metamorphosis of a marine teleost, the clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris. We reveal how TH coordinate a change in color vision as well as a major metabolic shift in energy production, hence highlighting its central integrative role in regulating this transformation. By manipulating the activity of LXR, a major regulator of metabolism, we also reveal a tight link between metabolic changes and metamorphosis progression. Strikingly, we observed that these regulations are at play in the wild revealing how hormones coordinate energy needs with available resources during life cycle.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.},
