Hi! I'm a bit late at this website news but here it is! We got a couple of papers published this last year, and I'm pretty happy Elisa & Mariana, our post-docs, could finish their time with us, with some excellent papers! There are still many to come, but, as usual, we are slow!
The first one is a trial in understanding the regulation of Sodalis pierantonius, the intracellular bacteria of Sitophilus oryzae, in ovaries. So, personally, I'm really proud of this paper simply because I did the FISH (Séverine took the wonderful pictures, and Agnès dissected the ovaries, so "I did" is an exaggeration), but also most of the bioinformatic analysis (Mariana, of course, did the mapping and thought me, with Nicolas, all I know of bioinfo!). So yes, it feels good to have finally "proof" that maybe I can indeed do bioinformatics in addition to bench work!
I'll leave you with the paper and this gorgeous ovary picture. I mean, look at that pink bacteria potentially crossing the germarium to infect the embryos!!! And those polarized bacteria in the embryos! I LOVE IT!
