Sujet de stage M2 sur la "dock mussel", cet écotype de moules hybrides qui habite dans les ports. L'objectif est de tester si la dock mussel s’est adaptée grâce à sa variance génétique d’admixture ou si l’admixture n’est que le corolaire du contact secondaire entre les deux espèces parentales.

I attended three great talks from the cancer in an evolutionary framework symposium this morning. Cancer therapies from nature, population genomics of Tasmanian devil cancer, and the tug of war of cancer resistance

Now @sophiabelkhir.bsky.social presents her latest data on transmissible cancer in Tasmanian devils, including evidence of mitochondrial DNA transfer from the host to the tumour lineage #ESEB2025

If you are at #ESEB2025 and want to learn more about Tasmanian Devils and/or transmissible cancers, I'll be presenting some of my work on those cute animals and their fascinating disease Friday at 11:30 in room 122+123!

Great initiative! Could you add me to one as well please? 😃

#PostDoc in #Montpellier on mussel transmissible cancers #TransCan These weird cancers have undergone genome doublings and aneuploidisation You will play with PacBio and Nanopore data Join the #HyperCan team in a joyfull environment. #MarEvol #PopGen #MusselsAreCool euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/333894

It uses diverse but complemenrary methods to put this into evidence, and discusses the potential consequences of this phenomenon on cancer evolution, as it might also be occuring in other cancers where it's harder to detect! A really cool story to read!

New exciting paper from the team! Horizontal gene transfer from host to cancer discovered in CTVT, a transmissible cancer lineage that has been spreading in dogs for thousands of years 🧬
