A little late to share, but still thrilled 🤗! What started as two independent stories, one in Clermont-Ferrand (@igred.fr) and one in Cambridge (Hannon’s group @cruk-mi.bsky.social ), turned into a joint adventure to decode how Rhino picks its favorite piRNA clusters. When forces unite… 👇👇👇

The fascinating work spearheaded by Kirsten Senti on the diversification and adaptation of endogenous retroviruses in the host gonad 'ecosystem'' is officially published.

🧠 Just out in Bioinformatics Advances: “Predicting gene expression using millions of yeast promoters reveals cis-regulatory logic”   Explore the paper here: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioadv/vbaf130 Authors include: @susbo.bsky.social

REFEREE 1: “I conclude with a simple, direct statement - this is the best paper I have read all year!” #TransparentPeerReview Co-evolving infectivity and expression patterns drive the diversification of endogenous retroviruses @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social et al www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
