New pre-print from my group - project led by PhD student Michael Hoffert. We set out on a daunting mission to generate a 'periodic table' of bacterial diversity (1/6) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A periodic table of bacteria?: Mapping bacterial diversity in trait space
Bacterial diversity can be overwhelming. There is an ever-expanding number of bacterial taxa being discovered, but many of these taxa remain uncharacterized with unknown traits and environmental prefe...

Dans cette vidéo, on va parler de la plus grande pandémie du vivant ! Un microbe répandu chez plus de 70% des insectes, et qui pourrait nous aider à prévenir la dengue et d'autres maladies. Ah oui et on fait des blagues de mauvais goût, parce que pourquoi pas.
