The Role of Infection in Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Background. Acute exacerbation of IPF (AE‐IPF) is associated with high mortality. We studied changes in pathogen involvement during AE‐IPF and explored a possible role of infection in AE‐IPF. Objectives. Our purpose is to investigate the role of infection in AE‐IPF. Methods. Overall, we recruited 170 IPF patients (48 AE‐IPF, 122 stable) and 70 controls

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The existence of complete genome sequences makes it important to develop different approaches for classification of large‐scale data sets and to make extraction of biological insights easier. Here, we propose an approach for classification of complete proteomes/protein sets based on protein distributions on some basic attributes.

Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1071-1084, December 2016., 2016 This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs. Overall, the majority of abundant viral species were or were most similar to those of marine origin. At over 60 km to the river mouth, the presence of marine communities suggests the microbial marine to freshwater transition region extends ...

, 2019 Pandoraviruses are giant viruses of ameba with 1 μm-long virions. They have an ovoid morphology and are surrounded by a tegument-like structure lacking any capsid protein nor any gene encoding a capsid protein. In this work, we studied the ultrastructure

Microbial Ecology of Permafrost Soils: Populations, Processes, and Perspectives
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 245-258, April/June 2025.ABSTRACT Permafrost microbial research has flourished in the past decades, due in part to improvements in sampling and molecular techniques, but also the increased focus on the permafrost greenhouse gas feedback to climate change and other ecological processes in high latitude and alpine permafrost soils.

, 2021 The largest known DNA viruses infect Acanthamoeba and belong to two markedly different families. The Megaviridae exhibit pseudo-icosahedral virions up to 0.7 μm in diameter and adenine- thymine (AT)-rich genomes of up to 1.25 Mb encoding a thousand ...

Des virus géants créateurs de leurs propres gènes ?
, 2018 International audienceSince 2003 and the discovery of Mimivirus, the saga of giant viruses continues with the isolation of new amoeba viruses, which are now divided into seven distinct families, the origin (s) of which are still mysterious ...

Deep Learning-based structural and functional annotation of Pandoravirus hypothetical proteins
, 2023 Giant viruses, including Pandoraviruses, contain large amounts of genomic ‘dark matter’ - genes encoding proteins of unknown function. New generation, deep learning-based protein structure modelling offers new opportunities to apply structure-based ...
