Scientific Interest
Our main focus is the dynamics of transposable elements and their evolution within genomes, in particular within insect natural populations. We are interested in the natural variability of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, notably through small interfering RNA pathways, and we study its impacts in physiological processes such as aging or response to infections, as well as in response to environment changes. In addition, we use invasive species (Drosophila suzukii, Aedes albopictus) to study transposable elements within genomes both as markers of genetic differentiation and as potential sources of adaptive mutations.
