Here we go!! #SMBE2026

sPYce is now published in Nature Ecology and Evolution! sPYce is a method to integrate single-cell regulatory data across species, without requiring whole-genome alignments between species. More below ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anouk Necsulea, @maelledaunesse.bsky.social and myself are organising a symposium at SMBE this year. Send us all of your abstracts!!

2025 • 2025 • Impulscience support from the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller goes to @camilleberthelot.bsky.social (Inserm researcher, head of the "Comparative Functional Genomics" group at the @pasteur.fr ) to solve the riddle of the evolution of uterine tissue. 1/3

I am profoundly honored and grateful to be receiving the Impulscience Prize from the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller! This grant will be the major support of my lab for the next 5 years. Thank you for believing in our work and in our vision! www.fondationbs.org/en/our-commu...

New preprint from our lab, spearheaded by @maelledaunesse.bsky.social and in collaboration with Diego Villar! In which we ask, can we detect joint signatures suggestive of positive selection on transcriptomes and epigenomes?

Still looking for our perfect doctoral candidate as part of @evomg-dn.bsky.social - come and join us to work on the evolutionary pressures that shape gene expression and disease in the uterus! Please RT (or is it RB? not sure how our lingo has changed!)

We are hiring a ✨ bioinformatics PhD student ✨ for fall 2026 as part of the @evomg-dn.bsky.social MSCA doctoral network! Our project in a nutshell: can the evolution of gene expression in the uterus point us towards which genes are important for human uterine diseases? To apply 👉 www.evomg-dn.eu

I had the immense honor of being named one of the Young Talents France #ForWomenInScience 2025 by Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO and the French Academy of Science ✨ I am deeply grateful to have the opportunity to highlight research on uterine physiology and to @camilleberthelot.bsky.social 💪

Pour chaque vie, la science agit. Le Pasteurdon, c’est maintenant ! Soutenez la recherche et celles et ceux qui la font avancer ↘️ pasteurdon.fr #Pasteurdon

Incredibly proud of @eulalieliorzou.bsky.social who is receiving the L'Oreal-Unesco Prize for Women in Science for her trailblazing PhD work on menstruation and its associated diseases! www.pasteur.fr/fr/espace-pr...

Science: only when you write up the manuscript, you realize what you should have done.

We are looking for a student to continue our work on chromatin evolution: www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... The project with @seanamontgomery.bsky.social will focus on chromatin state readers across eukaryotes. More info: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs...

Coming back to the lab after receiving some good news, and my lab is filled with the sweetest scientists ever!

🚨With some delay, we're excited to announce that our proposal for a MSCA Doctoral Network on Evolutionary Medical Genomics (EvoMG-DN) got funded! 🎉 🧬 14 labs and 2 companies across 7 European countries will be coordinated by the EvoMG Joint Program at @crg.eu & @upf.edu. europa.eu/!NNq63m

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

Science, research & public health face unprecedented attacks in the U.S. We stand with our American colleagues & support the Stand Up for Science call. Join the global march tomorrow, incl. in Paris! 🧪✊ 📍 March 7, 13:30 – Place Jussieu 🔗 More info: standupforscience.fr #StandUpForScience

@clavergne-anth.bsky.social presented their work at ALPHY-AIEM, asking the hard questions: did the evolution of mensuration associate with diversifications in immune genes, to fulfill their new functions in the uterine cycle?

I have a wonderful scientist in my lab who is looking to move to Europe. Is anyone looking for a staff scientist? She has a PhD. She is particularly in her element doing field work. Great skills with rodents and very open to non-rodent positions as well. Please send leads, please amplify!

Our first foray into the evolution of the mammalian uterus, spearheaded by Axelle Brulport, Malgorzata Gazda and @eulalieliorzou.bsky.social ! Some highlights below... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (A first version was submitted during my maternity leave, this is a new and updated version!)

I never know what to put in a first post, so how about a fun fact: Did you know that the pig uterus has two horns that are each about a meter (3 ft) long?

Single cells, single cells, single all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-drop barcoded sleigh! 🎄🦌🌟 Thank you @eulalieliorzou.bsky.social for the festive lab decorations!

Many thanks to the Academy of Sciences for awarding me the Jayle Prize, which encourages our recent efforts to understand how menstruation came to be during the evolution of primates! 🐒🩸 Photo © Académie des sciences – Mathieu Baumer

Spent the afternoon under the cupola at the French Academy of Sciences to watch @camilleberthelot.bsky.social receive the Jayle prize! Congrats Camille 👏👏👏
