F. Devaux's team published one of the first ChIP-seq-based description of the transcriptional regulatory networks in the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata. This work, which was performed in collaboration with J-M. Camadro and G. Lelandais from the Jacques Monod Institute and with the NGS platform directed by S. Le Crom, is the first publication from a larger ANR project aiming at a comprehensive description of stress response regulatory networks in this emerging human pathogen.

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.

Nitric oxyde oxydases are enzymes which contributes to the resistance of pathogenic microbes to the innate immune system by detoxifying nitric oxide. "The genetic networks" team identified a new regulator of the expression of nitric oxydases in fungi and deciphered its functioning and evolution in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast species.

The "Biology of Genomes" team and the "Intraspecific Variation and Genome Evolution" team from the Université de Strasbourg have published the first population genomics survey in a yeast different form a Saccharomyces species. This study reveals that consequently to a large-scale introgression event, two different mutational regimes can coexist within the same genome.
