Our paper on the evolutionary history of Viperins is now out in Nature Ecology and Evolution NatureEcoEvo : nature.com/articles/s4155… 🤩 As for other papers from the lab, we created an outreach video summarizing our findings here: youtu.be/om1HFfOCiDQ

SAMD9 & SAMD9L are restriction factors of #poxviruses, what about other #viruses? Alexandre Legrand Lucie Etienne &co show that SAMD9L inhibits #HIV1 & other primate lentiviruses via a Schlafen-like active site, disrupting viral translation #PLOSBiology plos.io/4cn9ZZc

Looking for a postdoc or other opportunities in eco-evolutionary & genomics? Looking for a #supportive PI with great questions and methodology? 👇👇👇 M. Elise Lauterbur 🏳️‍🌈 is opening her lab!

Our teams is looking for a post-doc interested to study molecular conflicts between HIV/SIV and host antiviral factors (in a nice environment in Paris Institut Cochin)! euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/253927#jo…

Découvrez notre étude sur les protéines SAMD9 et SAMD9L et leur rôle antiviral. SAMD9L inhibe le VIH-1, tandis que SAMD9 le favorise. Ces découvertes offrent de nouvelles perspectives contre les infections virales et les maladies génétiques. 👉urlz.fr/rfs9

Cool paper alert 😎 So happy about this Essay in PLOS Biology - the evolution of immunity between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is a fascinating topic And one where so much is yet to be discovered!

Rare opportunity to join my team, as the PLOS Biology in-house editorial team is growing! It's a great team in a great journal, if I say so myself 😆 Please reach out if your have Qs & apply if interested!! UK or US; assoc or senior Please RT us241.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

It has recently been described that bacteria and eukaryotes share some part of their immune systems. But what do they share exactly? How did this evolve? We propose the concept of ancestral immunity to explore this emerging topic. Some answers but mostly questions 🙃.

1/2 🎉I am really happy to share with you our preprint on the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid on the action of the RNA helicase UPF1 and NMD: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats & thanks to all the co-authors (see tags) of our study on age-related development of anti-IFN-I autoAbs in humans & their lifelong consequences. The study was only possible due to the support, samples & data collected over decades by Swiss HIV Cohort Study. 🙏 rupress.org/jem/article/22…

Had so much fun writing this small review with Nicolas Lou and Peter Sudmant about structural variation in primates in the era of T2T genomes and pangenomics :) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My Fleming Prize lecture from Microbiology Society 2024 is now online: "Stopping spillover: from understanding risk to control at the source." Thanks to to the society for the prize and to Bats 'N' Viral Bytes for the hard work! 🦇🧬📈 youtube.com/watch?v=ZuU4wT…
