Horizontal transfers in the Massane forest: the well-kept secret of lianas

November 24, 2023

This presentation is about the work of my supervisor, Moaine El Baidouri, as well as her former Ph.D student, Emilie Aubin, on horizontal transfers within Massane trees. It ends on how my work will add further information on them.

Divergent Horizontal Transfer Landscapes in Plant–Plant and Plant–Fungus Interactions Revealed by Large-Scale Genome Comparisons

June 06, 2025

This presentation is about the results of my two first years of PhD, focusing on liana-tree HTs as well as fungi-plants HTs

Divergent Horizontal Transfer Landscapes in Liana–Tree and Plant–Fungus Interactions Revealed by Large-Scale Genome Comparisons

July 08, 2025

While this talk has almost the same title as the previous conference, this presentation focused on the results of my liana-tree HTs study as it highlighted a high number of horizontally transferred transposable elements. I also talked about a particular case of fungi-to-plant TE HT.

Cross-kingdom horizontal gene transfers between plant and fungal genomes: Insights from large-scale comparative genomics
