Our preprint on the chromosome-level assembly and analysis of 2 Acanthamoeba castellanii genomes is online ! We used this assembly to look at changes in chromosome folding during infection by Legionella #instagraal

Our new preprint is out !!! great work by Quentin Lamy-Besnier Amaury Bignaud Devon Conti @rkoszul Bacteriophage Lab Institut Pasteur Barbel Stecher Chromosome folding and prophage activation reveal gut-specific genome dynamics of bacteria in the OMM12 consortium biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Devon Conti presenting on using 3C to decipher gut phage bacteria dynamics. #VoM2022 room 1

Fantastic talks !! Great conference!! Such a pleasure to be here with my two incredible PhD students Devon Conti Amaury Bignaud #VoM2022

Yesterday’s Junior Microbiology Day at Institut Pasteur was filled with lots of interesting talks & posters from PhD/Postdocs in the department. Big thanks to the organisers !! For my part, since the boss Martial Marbouty isn’t a junior researcher he found another method to ‘attend’ 🤣

Happy to share our new publication on the OMM12 model in Microbiome, in which we used 3C and virome seq to unveil the huge diversity of bacterial genome architectures. This also led us to define the intestinal virome of the OMM12 mice. bit.ly/3BQ3D41

A collaborative work involving Quentin Lamy-Besnier Amaury Bignaud Julian Garneau Devon Conti Alexandra von Strempel Martial Marbouty @rkoszul Dr. Bärbel Stecher

A great couple of days at the Cell Symposia at Institut Pasteur, since 1887 with many many great talks 🦠 🧫 ! Where also my two bosses presented the current work ongoing in our labs 😊

Amaury Bignaud talks about how Bacillus phage SPP1 can remodel the chromosome spatial organisation #vom2023

⁦Amaury Bignaud⁩ on host takeover by SPP1 phage. Yeey Bacillus subtilis🤩 ⁦@VoM_2023⁩

Amaury Bignaud shows the impact of SPP1 infection on chromosome structure of B. subtilis. In particular, transient formation of a strong border in the HiC map of the host chromosome, which can't be fully explained so far. #vom2023

Great talk by Amaury Bignaud that study the impact of SPP1 phage infection on Bacillus subtilis genome expression and spatial Organization!! #vom2023
