Out today, our take on 6-methyladenine #6mA evolution in Eukaryotes @natgenet.nature.com. We asked a simple question, is really DNA 6mA common across the eukaryotes? The answer is "yes" if you're a unicellular eukaryote 🦠, not so if you're multicellular 🐝🌱🍄. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9

Together with Chris Bell and Alexander Dawson, we are recruiting an PhD student (LIDo iCASE) at @qmulepigenetics.bsky.social to work on using long read nanopore technology to investigate DNA methylation on native DNA. This is a joint project with ONT. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
