We're happy to share that our article "Overcoming the widespread flaws in the annotation of vertebrate selenoprotein genes in public databases" has been published: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... #bioinformatics #recoding #selenoproteins #geneannotation Collab with @rodericguigo.bsky.social

🧬 Avui hem pogut gaudir del Simposi organitzat per @geneticsub.bsky.social sobre l’actualitat i les aplicacions de la tecnologia #CRISPR. 🗣️ L’acte ha comptat amb la participació dels ponents Anna Cereseto, @lluismontoliu.bsky.social, @vtoulis.bsky.social i Jean-Luc Gallois

Mañana estaré en Barcelona @biologiaub.bsky.social @unibarcelonathe.bsky.social participando en este simposio sobre actualidad y aplicaciones #CRISPR que organizan desde el departamento de @geneticsub.bsky.social junto a Anna Cereseto @vtoulis.bsky.social y Jean-Luc Gallois ub.edu/portal/web/bio…

🧬 Year after year, @geneticsub.bsky.social remains firmly committed to continuous improvement. 🥇 This year has been highly rewarding and we look forward to the opportunities that 2026 will bring. 🎉 Thanks to all our members for your hard work and dedication! Together, we make a strong team.

📢 Our beloved symposium on #CRISPR is scheduled earlier than usual this year. ‼️ It's open without registration. 🗓 Mark your calendars: 9th January 📍 @biologiaub.bsky.social 👥 Organizers: Marco Mariotti, Marc Valls, Jesús Lozano, Mercedes Rocafort, from @geneticsub.bsky.social

Bioinformaticians, spread the word! Pyranges v1 is here: a Python framework for ultrafast sequence interval operations (aka genome arithmetic). Documentation (installation, tutorial, API, how-to-pages): pyranges1.readthedocs.io Preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... #bioinformatics #genomics #python 🧬💻🐍

I'm happy to announce that I obtained a tenured position at @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social ! 🧬🎉

calling "Acetylysine" the 21st amino acid is a declaration of war

The iGEM UB team has come back from the competition with amazing results!🥇🤩 The team worked in developing a first prototype of an inducible stop codon readthrough riboswitch in Marco Mariotti's lab, here at @geneticsub.bsky.social 🧬1/2

Ecstatic about the success of our iGEM Barcelona-UB team at the 2025 Jamboree! Gold medal 🥇 + 5 Special Prize nominations 🏆 + TOP TEN overall 🔝🤯 #iGEM2025 #iGEM @geneticsub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social @ub.edu Short explanation below 👇

The @geneticsub.bsky.social section, was well represented at #EDRC2025 @edrc2025.bsky.social by Nadia and Marco @mariottilab.bsky.social Sofia @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social and Núria @nuriacorbella.bsky.social @araujolabub.bsky.social and Ivan from the Serras’ lab who presented their results

Loving the #EDRC2025 @edrc2025.bsky.social conference so far! Great science and a terrific community. Tomorrow it's our turn to present: Marco will give a talk at the RNA biology session, while Nadya will present a poster shortly after! ❤️🧬🪰 Come and learn why stop makes sense in Drosophila!

3, 2, 1 and we are on!!! #EDRC2025 is starting! Welcome to our more than 740 participants from more than 40 countries! Thank you to all our sponsors!

Only a few hours left before our meeting starts! Are you travelling to #EDRC2025 now? Let us know by using the oficial #EDRC2025 hashtag!

The FlyBase situation has made the national news www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

Loved it!

Here's an interesting paper @natmethods.nature.com introducing the term "Translon", filling a terminology gap in the field of gene expression. Kudos to Pasha Baranov for leading this initiative and gathering many contributors (including myself) for an healthy discussion on fundamental principles 👏

We had lots of fun at the #FestaCiènciaUB with our workshop on gene expression! It seems participants loved it too ❤️🧬! Thanks to the lab members, including the iGem UB team, and all the organizers of the event 👏

🧬 Un any més, la secció de @geneticsub.bsky.social es suma a la #FestaCiènciaUB amb un munt de tallers que podeu visitar fins demà a la @ub.edu 🎉 No us ho perdeu!

#LaUBDivulga | 🧪 Més de 1.800 infants han visitat l’XI #FestaCiènciaUB i han descobert, de la mà dels investigadors #UB, la recerca que fem a la Universitat. 🤩 I dissabte, 31 de maig, vine amb la família! T’hi esperem de 10:00 a 14:00! 👉 web.ub.edu/ca/web/actua... @ubdivulga.bsky.social

Today and tomorrow you will find us at the Science Fest of UB #FestaCiènciaUB ! Come and play to our workshop and learn to decipher the code of life 🧬. Free entrance!

On my way to Sevilla! Looking forward to visiting the @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social

Interesting large scale study on the thrust on scientist and their role in society around the world. Note: Spain is by far the European country scoring higher - why this is not translated into better conditions and funding ? - a mistery. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧬 Our mini-symposium on "New advances in CRISPR-Cas" returns on January 24th at @geneticsub.bsky.social ! It's open for attendance without registration. Talks by Anna Cereseto, @robertasu.bsky.social, Annarita Miccio, and Josep Mª Casacuberta!

Looking forward to this year CRISPR-Cas symposium at @geneticsub.bsky.social ! Don't miss it

We have gathered a starter pack of #GeneticsUB people and labs on @bsky.app We will update it regularly so please follow us for @geneticsub.bsky.social news! @biologiaub.bsky.social @ibub-ub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social go.bsky.app/Atuq2VC
