The UMR3525 studies several aspects of genome biology, with a focus on maintenance and evolution of genetic information. On one hand, most teams work on the organisation, expression, and replication of genomes. On the other hand, most teams study how genomes change through time by mutations, gene acquisition, DNA loss and genetic rearrangements. The key biological models are enterobacteria, Vibrio, and yeast. Recently, the developments in our labs and the integration of the Berthelot team spurred development of projects in humans (and other mammals).
