📅 On October 10–11, members of @inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social & MAP will guide you through the alleys of La Doua Campus to talk all about symbiosis! ✨ Book your slot here 👉 www.fetedelascience.fr/la-symbiose-... 🎉 Join us for a fun time at Fête de la Science!

Yesterday @ritarebollo.bsky.social brilliantly obtained her Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in front of a jury composed of L. Teysset, C. Vitte, F. Hommais, N. Nègre, Z. Haichar & N. Kremer. A summary of 20 years of research in 3 labs & 2 countries with a common theme: interactions! 👏

Hi! We are looking for a PhD to work on the cross talk between transposable elements, insects and intracellular bacteria on the bioinformatics side. The PhD would be supervised by @mariefablet.bsky.social and myself along with @nicolasparisot.bsky.social Deadline December 2025! Please share! #tesky

From September 10 to 12, the 23rd conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (cmsb2025.sciencesconf.org) was held at Université Lyon 1 & @cnrs.fr. Congratulations to Sergio Peignier and Erwan Cruché, who gave brilliant presentations on their research 👏

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! In collaboration with the IMP lab and the LBBE lab, this work focuses on exploiting the synergy of essential oils to enhance repellency against sap-sucking insects. doi.org/10.1016/j.in...

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! This study explores the functional specialization of the symbiont-bearing organ in the rice weevil. Using microdissection coupled with dual RNA-seq, we revealed different cell types, each with distinct host-symbiont molecular dialogues. #SymbioSky doi.org/10.1186/s401...

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! A quantitative metabolic model of the obligate #aphid symbiont, #Buchnera aphidicola. This work also provides a model of the life stage-specific provision of nutrients from the bacterium to the host. #SymbioSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! A fruitful collaboration with the IMP lab, this work focuses on the incorporation of essential oils with insect repellent properties into partially bio-based polymers. doi.org/10.1021/acss...

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! A study on the toxic effects of the BCR4 #defensin on survival, embryonic development, and #symbiotic cells in the pea #aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. Collaborative work with @uclouvain.bsky.social CBM Orléans and IGEPP Rennes! doi.org/10.1007/s103...

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! New insights into the role of NPF signaling in regulating metabolic balance in #aphids. Just published in @cp-heliyon.bsky.social. A great outcome of our ongoing and productive collaboration with @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.he...

The June cover of Genome Biology and Evolution features the work of @mirimerenciano.bsky.social @sianalarue.bsky.social et al., who explore the relationships between transposable elements and aging in a new Review article. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf088 🖌️ Merenciano et al. #genome #TEsky

Today sees the close of the REID - IMMUNINV conference (reid2025.sciencesconf.org) at @insa-lyon.fr Many members of @inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social were involved in organizing the congress, and some of our PhD and post-doctoral students were able to present their research work brilliantly 👏

From March 25 to 27, @inrae-dpt-spe.bsky.social held its "Assises" in Lyon, including a presentation of new recruits. Well done @leogerlin.bsky.social for your presentation 👏

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! We developed ArtSymbioCyc (artsymbiocyc.cycadsys.org), a metabolism-oriented database collection gathering genomic resources for #arthropods and their symbiotic #bacteria to analyze and compare metabolic #networks on a genome-wide scale. #SymbioSky @leogerlin.bsky.social

Hi! I'm late, but here is a cool story on which we got to write a commentary with mariferrarini.bsky.social & mribeirolopes.bsky.social @inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social. The title says it all: endosymbiont protein trafficking! Have fun! #MicroSky #SymbioSky #MEvoSky www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 1/n

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! Complete annotation of the pea aphid #TranscriptionFactors. A valuable resource for gene regulation 🧬 studies in #aphids available online 💻: atf.cycadsys.org #SymbioSky doi.org/10.1016/j.ib...

Very cool to see our science highlighted by Elie Semoun & @francebleu.fr in a podcast! www.radiofrance.fr/francebleu/p...

@inrae-umr-bf2i.bsky.social was well represented last week at the 14th BAPOA network meeting in Montpellier! Congrats to all speakers 👏
