Microbial Advent Calendar 2k18 – House of Mussel

After a short break, we stay in the deep sea with another fascinating symbiotic system. For this Microbial Advent Calendar weekend, we have a look at the bathymodiolin mussels! I personally worked with those mussels during my Ph.D. and they keep on fascinating me as an organism capable of establishing so many…

[Playing with Data] 607 pylori part III: Start digging

Hello Folks, it's been a while! I thought it would be time to continue this big Helicobacter pylori genomes experiment and keep the blog going on. We left with the previous post on preparing the data for our analyses. The main next step will be re-annotating all the genomes in…

[Playing with Data] 607 pylori part II: getting the data ready

In the previous post we had a look at some interesting features of Helicobacter pylori. Now it is time to finally get our hands on the data. This post will present the data preparation, how to get everything ready in a comparable way for easy analyses.Now that we know more…

[Playing with data] 607 pylori part I : the introduction

Every story or study needs an introduction to give some context to what we are look at. When I first started writing the introduction about Helicobacter pylori, I realised quite quickly that my first attempts were massively paraphrasing again and again Wikipedia's summary. Because the Wikipedia article contains most of…

[Playing with Data] Comparing Helicobacter pylori genomes

With the upcoming gloom of an eventual unemployment period, I decided to fill my non existent free time with a fun little project I've has in mind for a while; as one of my previous post might have indicated. It is time to tackle it! I have been working with…

A story of epibionts in deep sea mussels – My first paper published !

My very first paper : "A specific and widespread association between deep-sea Bathymodiolus mussels and a novel family of Epsilonproteobacteria" is finally available as an Early View on the Environmental Microbiology Reports website. For the past four years, I have been working with deep sea bathymodiolin mussels. They are one…

[Playing with Data] A network of Pylori

So I am playing with the idea of genome comparison and network analysis. And as a small teaser I want to share the above picture. On this figure each dot represent a gene from one of the 83 more or less complete Helicobacter pylori genomes used in the comparison, linked…
