The context-dependent investigations of host-pathogen genotypic interactions, where environmental factors are explicitly incorporated, allow the assessment of both coevolutionary history and contemporary ecological influences. Such a functional explanatory framework is particularly valuable for describing mortality trends and identifying drivers of disease risk more accurately. Using two common...

Située sur un axe de recherche associant l’art avec les sciences exactes, les sciences naturelles et les sciences politiques, l’équipe Art & Sciences de l’Institut ACTE dirigée par Olga Kisseleva et Richard Conte, se propose de développer, d’analyser et de promouvoir les projets collaboratifs élaborés conjointement par les scientifiques et les artistes. La ligne de recherche fédère les initiati...

Urea transporters (UTs) help mediate the transmembrane movement of urea and therefore are likely important in amphibian osmoregulation. Although UTs contribute to urea reabsorption in anuran excretory organs, little is known about the protein’s distribution and functions in other tissues, and their importance in the evolutionary adaptation of amphibians to their environment remains unclear. To ...

We report on the identification and characterization of XTERV1, a full-length endogenous retrovirus (ERV) within the genome of the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis). XTERV1 contains all the basic genetic elements common to ERVs, including the classical 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR)-gag-pol-env-3'-LTR architecture, as well as conserved functional motifs inherent to each retroviral protein...
