We got to hear from our newest recruits - PIs in the making - exciting and cutting edge research questions!!! @abdouak.bsky.social @bertillem.bsky.social @pierreosteil.bsky.social

Host-transposable element coexistence: a matter of resistance, tolerance and trade-off Read this new review by Séverine Chambeyron, Charlotte Grimaud, Mikiko Siomi et al link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I'm super happy to finally see the paper published ! Check out the full story here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Love Drosophila genetics — this journal club was a great way to share that enthusiasm and pay tribute to the pioneers of transposons regulation 🪰 How classical genetics uncovered key determinants of TE silencing #transposon @igred.fr @igred.fr 👇👇

First first-author paper out! 🎉 We show that the classically repressive mark H3K27me3 can be linked to active transcription through a newly identified reader complex 🤯 Really grateful to everyone involved in this project during my PhD! Thread below 👇

We are recruting an assistant engineer for 18 months at LBBE (Lyon, France) in molecular biology of Drosophila. The project is to study the interactions between response to viral infections and control of transposable elements. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

Hi! Florence Hommais, @nicolasparisot.bsky.social , and I are looking for a postdoctoral candidate to investigate the molecular dialogue between three weevil species and their endosymbiotic bacteria #symbiosis! Please see the #post-doc offer for more information. #SymbioSky #Bioinformatics

piRNAs are essential for transposon silencing in the animal germline. But how do hosts trap transposon sequences in genomic loci that help establish a piRNA response? Looking at a natural transposon invasion, Baptiste Rafanel and Kirsten Senti made some remarkable observations.

Honored to see our work highlighted in this News & Views by Germano Cecere @cecerelab.bsky.social and @arantxarojas.bsky.social in @natsmb.nature.com! A great read on how H3K27me3 shapes piRNA transcription in 🪱 worms and 🪰 flies. rdcu.be/euuRJ

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… 👇👇👇
