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) 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 technologies, combined with …

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 …
