Methodologies Genomes and Evolution

Methodologies Evolution and Genomes We develop experimental, bioinformatics, and theoretical approaches. Our models are mainly Animals such as Arthropods (Diptera including Drosophila, Parasitic wasps, Pillbugs, black soldier flies) and Amphibians. They are either model organisms reared in the lab or collected from the wild. To study the genomes and their evolution, we rely on NGS

Mission in Guyana

Nicolas Pollet and Isabelle Clavereau (Pôle Génomes) went in Guyana for about 10 days to help teaching Field Metagenomics to guyanese scientists. It was in the framework of a thematic school with the financial support of the CEBA labex and France Génomique. Image @M. Collet.

Scientific results

Héloïse Bastide (Pôle écologie) and collaborators published an article in Current Biology dealing with the genomic convergence between Braula and its host, the bee. This article was the besis for an article on the web site of CNRS EE: https://www.inee.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/aux-origines-de-la-socialite-la-piste-inattendue-de-braula-coeca-une-drosophile-parasite.

Rhodius, not only hematophagous?

J.-L. Da Lage and collaborators published an article in Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology describing the presence of palm tree DNA in the digestive content of a Rhodnius supposedly strictly hematophagous. An amylase, enzyme associated with plant degradation, was also identified in the bug. The hypothesis of a nutritional symbiosis more complex is proposed. The
