PhD subject: Mechanisms involved in horizontal transfers of genetic material between insects

This PhD is organised into three axes:

• Study the influence of sympatry in horizontal transfers between insects
• Viruses as vectors for horizontal transfers of transposable elements between moths
• Characterize horizontal transfers of DNA circles from a parasitic wasp to the genomes of targeted or not targeted lepidopterans
