Among the three species that we chose for our comparative transcriptomics analyses, Scaptotrigona bipunctata is the only one for which genomic information is still lacking so far. Hence, the aim of this project is to sequence, assemble, and analyze the characteristics of the genome of this species. This postdoctoral project is strongly associated with Work Package 3 (WP3) of our Thematic …
Amoeboid protists have always raised intriguing questions about sex in eukaryotes. Classical studies failed to detect meiotic process or sex in several groups. The advent of modern techniques allows for the study of eukaryotic sex at the level of genes known to be involved in the process. Recent phylogenetic studies have demonstrated probable evolutionary relationships among diverse amoeb…
The discovery of a toolkit of genes with specific meiotic functions has lead to investigations on the occurrence and evolution of sex in diverse eukaryotic lineages. Remarkably, this toolkit has enabled studying meiosis even among those lineages long considered to be asexual in their life cycles. The product of those genes, namely SPO11, DMC1, REC8, MSH4/MSH5, HOP1, HOP2, MND1, MER3 and o…
