A branching model for intergenerational telomere length dynamics
We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length's evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian's behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.

Stochastic branching models for the telomeres dynamics in a model including telomerase activity
Telomeres are repetitive sequences of nucleotides at the end of chromosomes, whose evolution over time is intrinsically related to biological ageing. In most cells, with each cell division, telomeres shorten due to the s…
Scalable telomere-to-telomere assembly for diploid and polyploid genomes with double graph
Despite recent advances in the length and the accuracy of long-read data, building haplotype-resolved genome assemblies from telomere to telomere still requires considerable computational resources. In this study, we pre…
Intergenerational continuity of cell shape dynamics in Caulobacter crescentus
We investigate the intergenerational shape dynamics of single Caulobacter crescentus cells using a novel combination of imaging techniques and theoretical modeling. We determine the dynamics of cell pole-to-pole lengths,…
Brief increases in corticosterone affect morphology, stress responses, and telomere length, but not post-fledging movements, in a wild songbird
Organisms are frequently exposed to challenges during development, such as poor weather and food shortage. Such challenges can initiate the hormonal stress response, which involves secretion of glucocorticoids. Although …
Genome assembly in the telomere-to-telomere era
De novo assembly is the process of reconstructing the genome sequence of an organism from sequencing reads. Genome sequences are essential to biology, and assembly has been a central problem in bioinformatics for four de…
