Computational approach

A novel computational approach of coevolution analysis allowed us to reconstruct the protein-protein interaction network of the Hepatitis C Virus at the residue resolution. For the first time, coevolution analysis of an entire viral genome was realized.

Complete reconstruction of genome history

We achieved the complete reconstruction of genome history in a model yeast genus, providing a granular view of genome evolution linking gene content, chromosome rearrangements and protein divergence into a single evolutionary framework.N Vakirlis, Sarilar V, G Drillon, A Fleiss, N Agier, J-P Meyniel, L Blanpain, A Carbone, H Devillers, K Dubois, A Gillet-Markowska, S Graziani, Nguyen H-V, M Poirel, C Reisser, J Schott, J Schacherer, I Lafontaine, B Llorente, C Neuvéglise and Fischer G. Reconstruction of ancestral chromosome architecture and gene repertoire reveals principles of genome evolution in a model yeast genus.

new large-scale method to predict protein-protein

E.Laine and A.Carbone just published a new large-scale method to predict protein-protein interfaces based on sequence and structure information - Joint Evolutionary Trees 2 (JET2). It is the first time that a method highlights, with such a precision, information on distinguished binding sites, possibly overlapping each other.To the Article and Software.
