• RNA-binding and prion domains : The Yin and Yang of phase separation 

  Lorenzo Gotor, Nieves, 1984- (Date of defense: 24-01-2020)

  Biomolecular condensates act as indispensable membrane-less organelles for intracellular organization and regulation of biochemical reactions. Proteins and RNAs are known to phase separate into condensates, however the ...
• Application of genome assembly methods to human and non-human primate genomics 

  Kuderna, Lukas, 1989- (Date of defense: 24-01-2020)

  Genomic analyses are at the center of contemporary biology. These studies heavily rely on reference genome assemblies, yet those are typically highly fragmented. Having accurate representations of complex genomes, or parts ...
• The Good, the bad and the hairy : Comparative genomics of great apes from the point of view of human cancer 

  Heredia Genestar, José María, 1985- (Date of defense: 28-01-2020)

  La mutació és un procés essencial per l’evolució, tot i que també té un rol important tant en el càncer com en altres malalties. Les mutacions no s’acumulen uniformement al llarg del genoma i la seva presència es veu ...

  La inseguridad residencial por motivos económicos es un grave problema de salud pública que ha aumentado en los últimos años en el Estado español. Incluye diversas situaciones como el no poder pagar el alquiler o la hipoteca, ...
• Computational characterization of protein-RNA interactions and implications for phase separation 

  Armaos, Alexandros, 1989- (Date of defense: 23-01-2020)

  Despite what was previously considered, the role of RNA is not only to carry the genetic information from DNA to proteins. Indeed, RNA has proven to be implicated in more complex cellular processes. Recent evidence ...
