🎉🥳👏Congratulations to Olivier and to the consortium. Excellent results will come to light soon in the #GenomeBiologyI2BC Department.
I am very proud to announce that our team has received an ERC synergy grant from @erc.europa.eu. A wonderful recognition of a truly collaborative effort with friends (Julius Lukes, Leos Valasek and Mark Osborn). Excited to begin this journey at @i2bcparissaclay.bsky.social @cnrs.fr
The newly announced ERC Synergy Grant includes research on:
✴️ genetic drug design
✴️ the Big Bang's first microseconds
✴️ crowd movement
✴️ nature-society interactions
👉 buff.ly/ZQhLp4h
Congrats to the 66 awarded research teams!

You like phages ? In this publication, we use metaHiC and our new version of the MetaTOR pipeline to challenge the traditional view of phages with a narrow host range.

Phages with a broad host range are common across ecosystems - Nature Microbiology
Proximity-ligation-based sequencing from 111 samples and 5 environments reveals that a substantial proportion of phages infect multiple species.
