More recently, miRNA:lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) interactions have been characterized.&#10;DIANA-TarBase is a reference database devoted to the indexing of experimentally-supported miRNA targets. Its 8th version is the first database to index more than 1 million entries, supported by more than 33 experimental methodologies, applied to 592 cell types\/tissues under ~430 experimental conditions.&#10;DIANA-LncBase is a comprehensive repository of thousands of miRNA:lncRNA interactions supported by low\/high-throughput, (in)direct experiments. The upcoming version of LncBase (October 2019) is significantly enhanced providing an unprecedented set of transcriptome-wide experimentally verified MREs on human and mouse lncRNAs on a wide range of tissues and cell types.&#10;More than 60% of TarBase and LncBase content derives from the analysis of Argonaute crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) experiments. Photoactivatable Ribonucleoside-Enhanced (PAR) CLIP methodology is considered one of the most powerful high-throughput methodologies for miRNA target identification. microCLIP is an innovative framework that combines deep learning classifiers under a super learning scheme for CLIP-Seq-guided detection of miRNA interactions. Former AGO-CLIP-guided implementations depend strongly on the T-to-C conversions to define miRNA bindings, while the efficacy of neglected interactions remained unknown. By analysing miRNA perturbation experiments and structural sequencing data, we showed that the previously neglected non-T-to-C clusters exhibit functional miRNA binding events and strong accessibility. microCLIP operates on every AGO-enriched cluster providing an average 14% increase in miRNA-target interactions per PAR-CLIP library, uncovering previously elusive regulatory events and miRNA-controlled pathways.&#10;Indexing thousands of (non-)coding miRNA interactions is a valuable aid to the ncRNA community, demonstrated by the access of more than 6,000 users per month to the two databases content.&#10;References&#10;Paraskevopoulou MD et al. microCLIP super learning framework uncovers functional transcriptome-wide miRNA interactions, Nature Communications 9, 2018&#10;Karagkouni D et al.

As a result, many individual modifications have been extensively studied using tailored protocols and approaches. The most studied eukaryotic modification is phosphorylation, likely followed by acylations (methylation and acetylation), with ubiquitinylation (and related types of modification such as sumoylation) becoming very popular more recently. Despite all of this interest in, and efforts dedicated to, the study of protein modifications, the focus on single modifications has precluded the assembly of a complete, proteome-wide view of the protein modification landscape. Interestingly, this is not due to an instrumentation or methodological issue, but because of bioinformatics problems.&#10;The issue in the bioinformatics is that we have not been able to detect modified peptides using our existing identification algorithms, and this because of two hurdles: the combinatorial explosion when all possible modifications (and mutations) have to be considered, and the very limited use of the information available in the recorded fragmentation mass spectra.&#10;Over the past ten years, we have been diligently working on solutions to this fundamental problem, which has led to steady progress and has recently culminated in our new ionbot search engine for open modification searches. Ionbot is extremely fast and highly reliable, and sets a new standard for the discovery of unexpected protein modifications. When applied to prominent, large-scale data sets, our results indicate a plethora of unexpected modifications in the human proteome. While quite a few of these are artefactual in origin (and are caused by our sample processing protocols), many biologically relevant modifications are prominently identified as well.\">To boldly go: uncovering protein post-translational modifications at the proteome scale<\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<u title=\"Lennart Martens is Full Professor of Systems Biology at Ghent University, group leader of the Computational Omics and Systems Biology (CompOmics) group at VIB, and Associate Director of the VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology, all in Ghent, Belgium.&#10;He has been working in proteomics bioinformatics since his Master\u2019s degree, which focused on the computational interpretation of peptide mass spectra.

This concept has infused an unprecedented boost in the use of TFs not only in reprogramming to pluripotency, but, in general, to drive cell fate decisions in vitro.&#10;In our laboratory, we design and apply quantitative methods to dissect the role of transcription factors during reprogramming, conversion, and differentiation of human cells. We also study how rare genetic disorders alter the normal function of TFs (and proteins in general) with the final aim to predict the severity of rare genetic variants even before their onset in the general population.&#10;I will describe two general approaches to these scopes:&#10;- an approach of quantitative single-cell genomics to identify the subpopulations that arise during the reprogramming process to pluripotency and reconstruct their relationships&#10;- a quantitative method to test in parallel hundreds of distinct rare variants of TP63, a TF that acts as the master regulator of skin development and whose mutation are associated with AEC syndrome, a monogenic disorder with severe skin defects.\">Integrative and single cell genomics approaches to dissect cell fate decisions and genetic disorders<\/b><\/a><br \/>\n<u title=\"Davide Cacchiarelli grew up in Rome where he carried out his undergraduate studies in Biotechnology and Biology.
