Research areas   

Databases

Construction of databases dedicated to the study of Archaea and Bacteria phylogeny.
 

Bioinformatics tools

Webtools to query and use databases.
 
 

Other research

Microbial risk during human space flight, ancient climates and non-conventionnal microbiology.

Two flagship projects

BIBI-DB BIBI-DB is a taxonomy-hierarchized set of databasesand oriented to facilitate the phylogeny of Archaea and Bacteria. Thanks to a web interface it allows the phylogenetic placement of unknown nucleic acid sequences (this may precede identification). RiboDB is a ribosomal protein database of Bacteria and Archaea freely searchable via the Internet

Applications

leBIBI is a web application used worldwide to identify bacteria in hospital laboratories, industrial, environmental.
The leBIBI and RiboDB databases are useful to classify more rigorously the Bacteria and Archaea and may highlight new pathogen species. Their use helps to explain the evolution of the microbial world. RiboDB will allow to improve the quality of diagnosis of infections.
