I am a new Professor at the University Paris Sud (since September 2016). I joined the I2BC institute, in the research team of Olivier Lespinet. My research interests are related to the analyses of experimental datasets in functional genomic projects. During this seminar, I will present original results we obtained in two different studies, based on deep sequencing technologies. In the first project (reference 1), we combined genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq), transcriptome analyses, and DNA binding motif predictions to characterize the regulatory interactions of the seven Yap (Yeast AP1) transcription factors of the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata. In the second project (reference 2), we used RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptional responses to iron limitation in the microalgae Ostreococcus tauri. I will conclude with ongoing research projects and open discussions.
