Our new manuscript, led by Emily Corrigan, examines inhibitory neuron diversity across approximately 160 million years of evolutionary divergence, as part of BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) developing brain atlas package: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚀 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗰 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 We’re recruiting an ERC-funded Postdoctoral Researcher to explore how 3D gene regulatory networks evolved during human and primate brain development, using cutting-edge single-cell multiomics, organoid models, and CRISPR screens. 👉 Apply by Nov 30 | www.bonevlab.com/join

A wonderful collaboration with @alexbaffet.bsky.social @boyanbonev.bsky.social and @neurogenesis-i3s.bsky.social labs

Our latest research is online in the @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! 🧬🎉 🔎 We have developed a novel, single-cell real-time approach to monitor R-loop generated TRCs, and we have shown R-loop-mediated, replisome-controlled transcription repression. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Check out our latest work on the evolution of animal genome regulation out today in @nature.com. Nicely summarized below by @ianakim.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41... This is a major output from our ERC-StG project Evocellmap @erc.europa.eu at @crg.eu

In the most recent episode we talked with @boyanbonev.bsky.social from @bonevlab.bsky.social at @epihmgu.bsky.social about his work on neuroepigenetics, focusing on gene regulation, chromatin architecture, and primate epigenome evolution. #epigenetics Listen here: activemotif.com/podcasts-boy...

Can a stem cell change its epigenome while proliferating? In collaboration with the lab of Amos Tanay, we demonstrate that yes, the epigenome of neural stem cells (NSCs) is continuously remodeled, across multiple layers, during mouse corticogenesis. 1/14 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm happy to share our work on the neurodevelopmental impact of ADNP mutations in ASD and beyond. It has been an exciting ride to share with @alessandrovitriolo.bsky.social, Mariana, and the people of the Testa and Poot Labs. Full paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below 🧵

How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz Led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social

💫 New preprint from the lab: Comparing great ape cerebral organoids, we found that human-specific morphoregulatory signatures in basal radial glia characterise neocortex evolution. Fantastic work from super-talented PhD student Theresa Schütze! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨New preprint from @bonevlab.bsky.social 🚨: What are the key epigenetic mechanisms that drive species-specific gene regulation during primate neurogenesis - and how do they contribute to the evolution of the human neocortex? Here’s what we discovered 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
