Overview

Eric Pelletier is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research spans across environmental science and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant focus on ecology and molecular biology as subfields.

Their scholarly output includes extensive work in microbial community ecology and physiology, genomics and phylogenetic studies, and protist diversity and phylogeny. Additional research interests cover marine and coastal ecosystems, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, bacteriophages and microbial interactions, and plant virus research studies.

Eric Pelletier has contributed to multiple research papers published in a variety of scientific venues. Notable recent publications include:

  • "Cryptic and abundant marine viruses at the evolutionary origins of Earth's RNA virome," 2022, Science
  • "Functional repertoire convergence of distantly related eukaryotic plankton lineages abundant in the sunlit ocean," 2022, Cell Genomics
  • "Global distribution patterns of marine nitrogen-fixers by imaging and molecular methods," 2021, Nature Communications
  • "Mirusviruses link herpesviruses to giant viruses," 2023, Nature
  • "Diversity and ecological footprint of Global Ocean RNA viruses," 2022, Science

Frequent coauthors in Pelletier's research include Patrick Wincker, Chris Bowler, Tom O. Delmont, Olivier Jaillon, and Juan José Pierella Karlusich. Their collaboration reflects a strong network of researchers in related fields.

Pelletier's publications are found predominantly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Nature Communications, The ISME Journal, and Science.
