🚨🧬🚨 We're looking for a specialized Research Assistant to spearhead a project aimed at exploring new RNA therapeutics in diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Junior or Senior, we're hoping to recruit a highly motivated and self-driven scientist interested in both basic and applied science. 🦄

New preprint!! 🚨 Did you know that many vertebrate species determine sex based on environmental conditions rather than chromosomes? Some turtles, like Trachemys scripta, rely on temperature. We learned more about how this happen molecularly.👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Huge congrats Rafa!!

🚨 1/ Preprint Alert! Sex determination outcome is conserved across vertebrates (i.e. generating 2 compatible sexes) ♀️♂️ But are the cell types and gene programs behind them conserved too? 🧬 Spoiler: not really 👀 Find out in our new preprint ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dorks

📣 Call for Abstracts! Working on sex chromosomes? Join us at SMBE 2026 in Copenhagen (28 June–2 July). All taxa, systems, and approaches welcome! ⏰ Deadline: 3 Feb 2026 👉 smbe2026.org/abstracts/

Spanish EvoDevo at its best. Congrats to the team on this cool work 🥂🍾 Turns out that “deep conservation of CREs across hundreds of millions of years is far more widespread than previously recognized” Check it out👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

#ArticleIRBio 📄Deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization in echinoderms uncover ancestral regulatory features of animal genomes 👥Magri, Marta S. @imaeso.bsky.social et al. 📕Nature Ecology & Evolution @nature_the_journal

A recent study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution shows new findings on genomic regulation mechanisms throughout evolution, project led by @imaeso.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social, M Arnone, JL Gómez-Skarmeta and V Hinman. web.ub.edu/web/actualit...

Great news after the Christmas break! The work on the evolution of cis-regulation in echinoderms by the great Marta Magri, a PhD sibling of mine, is out in Nature Ecology and Evolution! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative keeps growing! We're looking for a Bioinformatician to join the BCA team in Hinxton (UK). www.linkedin.com/posts/wellco...

Our latest: Independent origins of spicules reconcile paleontological and molecular evidence of sponge evolutionary history, led by @meleonora-rossi.bsky.social with help from friends @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social including @anariesgo.bsky.social @evopalaeo.bsky.social Davide Pisani and many others

Exciting news to start the new year! We’re thrilled to see this work finally out in @natecoevo.nature.com, the result of a major collaboration between my lab and the labs of Veronica Hinman and Nacho Maeso, began many years ago with the dear José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am extremely proud and happy to announce that another paper from my PhD days has just been published in @natecoevo.nature.com on evolution of genome and gene regulation thanks to all the amazing people involved. Check the paper out at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our work on the evolution of the regulatory genome of echinoderms is now out in @natecoevo.nature.com. Led by my former PhD Marta Magri, Danila Voronov & Saoirse Foley. Great collaboration of Arnone, Hinman & Maeso labs, started long time ago with our missed José Luis Gomez-Skarmeta: rdcu.be/eXX8l
