Universite Paris-Sud Istitut deGenetique et Microbiologie, Same as above


This site is the home page for a laboratory dedicated to the biology of extremophiles at Institute of Genetics in Microbiology at the University of Paris, headed by Patrick Forterre. The site is a comprehensive collection of the extensive work the lab has contributed to the field of extremophiles and contains an impressive list of publications. This lab has produced research in this field since it's inception, and the topics covered include DNA world at high temperature, genetic tools for hyperthermophilic archaea, and the origin and evolution of genomes.
