Group : Name of Applicant : Eva Boritsch Date of application : 25-11-2015 Unit : Integrated Mycobacterial Pathogenomics Location : Guérin, 2nd floor, room 08 Phone : 3093@ Mail : eva.boritsch@pasteur.fr@ PI-Mail : roland.brosch@pasteur.fr
Project context and summary :
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driving force of bacterial diversification. For mycobacteria, a special type of HGT was described in Mycobacterium smegmatis which is linked to distributive conjugal transfer (Gray et al., PLoS Biology, 2013). In the current project we are trying to reproduce the results and explore the process.
