Membres - Genomic Analysis of Eukaryotes

Patrick Wincker

Head of the lab

Patrick Wincker travaille au CEA et est directeur du centre Genoscope national de séquençage, qui est une partie de l’Institut de génomique du CEA. Il a coordonné de nombreux projets de séquençage du génome depuis 1997, y compris des plantes (vigne, la banane, le café, le colza …), des animaux et des algues. Il a été l’un des coordinateurs du projet Tara Oceans (en charge de la génomique et du séquençage), avec un accent particulier sur la métagénomique eucaryotes, metatranscriptomic et génomique unicellulaires. Son intérêt principal est sur l’évolution du génome eucaryote et et les effets de l’environnement sur l’expression génomique.

Quentin Carradec

Dr. Quentin Carradec is a molecular biologist skilled in bioinformatics and specialized in the genomics of micro-eukaryotes. He completed his PhD in October 2014 at the Institut de biologie de l’ENS (Paris) in Eric Meyer’s laboratory studying molecular mechanisms of RNA interference pathways on the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia. He switched to the environmental genomics domain by joining Patrick Wincker’s laboratory at the Genoscope to work on the transcriptomic activity of marine planktonic eukaryotes in the framework of Tara projects. His current research focus is on understanding the adaptation of micro-eukaryotes to climate change.

Projects: Tara Oceans, Tara Pacific, PelagoAdapt

Tom Delmont

Tom ….Tom Delmont is a CNRS researcher. He explores the genomic diversity of plankton to better understand the ecology and evolution of co-occurring bacterial, eukaryotic and viral lineages abundant in the surface of the oceans. Tom takes advantage of deeply sequenced metagenomes and metatranscriptomes generated by the Tara Oceans consortium, transforming raw reads into manually curated metagenome-assembled genomes and determining their biogeography, functional potential and evolutionary history.

Morgan Gaïa

Morgan is an evolutionary microbiologist interested in viruses and their evolutionary relationships to cellular organisms. He obtained his PhD in Microbiology in December 2013 at Aix-Marseille University in Pr. La Scola’s group on the isolation and characterization of new giant viruses and related virophages. He then joined Patrick Forterre’s group (Institut Pasteur / Paris-Saclay University) until late 2019 to work on the Tree of Life and the co-evolution between giant viruses and eukaryotes, essentially through phylogenetic and phylogenomic approaches. After two years of postdoc in the LAGE group, he joined the team as a permanent researcher to study the evolutionary, functional, and biogeographical interactions between eukaryotes and their viruses, notably giant viruses.

Betina Porcel

Betina is a Ph.D. in molecular biology with expertise in bioinformatics. She has a long experience in studying the structure and evolution of eukaryote genomes through genome-wise analysis, with a special focus on parasite genomes. She has been using integrated omics-approaches for the study of emergence of parasitism in several branches of the Tree of Life (Apicomplexa, Kinetoplastids, Syndinials among others). Today Betina is mining the eukaryotic component of the plankton through meta-“omics” approaches seeking for « markers of parasitic life-style » within the marine biodiversity

Projects: TaraOcean, host-parasite interactions

Adrien Thurotte

Adrien is a biochemist and microalgae physiologist with a special appetite for bioinformatics. His challenge is to unravel new genes function within the framework of the Tara Ocean expedition using experimental biology: he notably uses recombinant proteins to assess enzymatic function and algal mutant to describe phenotypes.
