#ResultatScientifique 🔎| Faire taire les gènes est aussi crucial que les activer : le répresseur Snail révèle son rôle essentiel dans le développement embryonnaire 🧬 ✍️ @laghalab.bsky.social et Ovidiu Radulescu 📕 @natcomms.nature.com | buff.ly/pmtzA1t

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

We had #four interdisciplinary teams, integrating dev-bio, evolution, tissue mechanics, and biophysical modeling, all going full throttle to understand the #CF. Still, it took more than 7 years to publish two papers back-to-back (10/12) www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

And again, Fantastic meeting! 🔬 Single-molecule studies are advancing biology into new territory—thrilled to be involved. 💡 #EMBLSingleMolecule

It was a great meeting. I hope we can do it again in 2 years. #EMBLsinglemolecule. Single mol omics and imaging is very promising combo to dissect gene regulation.

📸 The photo gallery from the conference is live on the online event platform! Head over to check out the highlights, relive the best moments, and see if you can spot yourself in the crowd 👀✨ Thanks again to everyone who made it such a memorable event! #EMBLSingleMolecule

Honored to receive 1st Place Poster Award 🏆 at the EMBL meeting "Gene Regulation: One Molecule at a Time"! Thank you to all who visited and engaged in exciting discussions. Grateful to the organizers for an excellent event! #EMBLSingleMolecule

🗨️💡Great conversations during well-attended lunch time panel discussions at #EMBLSingleMolecule Panel 1️⃣: Single molecule genomics data analysis Chair: @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social Panel 2️⃣: Single molecule microscopy data analysis Chairs: @laghalab.bsky.social, Dan Larson @arnaudkr.bsky.social

🍪 Taking a breather at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' — where the science is complex, but the coffee is simple (and much needed!). From single-molecule insights to lively hallway conversations, it's clear: breakthroughs happen both in the lab and over lattes. ☕🧬 #EMBLSingleMolecule

🧩 The Human Bingo session at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' in full swing! #EMBLSingleMolecule 🖊️ Scientists are swapping stories, checking boxes, and discovering they have more in common than just a love for transcription factors! The molecules aren’t the only things interacting today!

Lots of great talks in the first part of the day at #EMBLSingleMolecule 🧬 ➡️ 'The 3D gene structure of transcriptionally distinct fly brain cell types involves complex changes in promoter proximity to both cis-regulatory and non-canonical elements' 🎙️ Marcelo Nollmann – CNRS, France

💬❓ We like a good Q&A session – a lot of great questions following every talk at 'Genre regulation: one molecule at a time'! Keep asking yours, both in the auditorium and online 🙌🏼 #EMBLSingleMolecule @arnaudkr.bsky.social @embl.org

☕ #EMBLSingleMolecule Day 2 highlights 🧬 Mid-morning means one thing: coffee break – and an informal Meet the Speaker session! Attendees had the chance to chat casually with the presenters and ask follow-up questions. Great vibes, great coffee, and even better discussions! @laghalab.bsky.social

Kicking off #EMBLSingleMolecule Session 1: ➡️ 'Super-resolution imaging of transcription in living cells' 🎙️ Ibrahim Cisse – Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, Germany Chairs: Stirling Churchman & Daniel Larson 🙏🏼

#EMBLSingleMolecule is starting! Exciting 4 days ahead! @EMBLEvents

Welcome to the inaugural edition of 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' 🤩🧬 #EMBLSingleMolecule Most of the participants are already on site – now time for some science! Our Scientific Organisers: 🔹 @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social 🔹@arnaudkr.bsky.social 🔹 @laghalab.bsky.social 🔹 Daniel Larson

Truly amazing week at the #EMBOEnhanceropathies workshop at Hindsgavl slot, what a great community to be working in!

📣 Four more days left to submit your abstract to the @embo.org workshop on "Enhancer mechanics and Enhanceropathies". Submit now and present your latest work in one of our short talks 📣 #EMBOenhanceropathies 👇

🧬🎤 Very excited for the start of the EMBO Workshop in Enhancer Mechanics and Enhanceropathies this afternoon in Middelfart! Many thanks to the organizers @smandrup.bsky.social @radaiglesiaslab.bsky.social and Minna Kaikkonen for putting together an amazing programme! #EMBOenhanceropathies

Moving towards the end of #ShapingLife3 with the last Keynote speaker @justinmcrocker.bsky.social

A big thanks to the @sfbd.bsky.social , @maitrejl.bsky.social & @embo.org YIP for what has been a very sunny & exciting #DevBio + beautiful hikes around #Cassis. & now everyone in there knows about #Ichthyosporea & #Expansion #Microscopy Which is a big ➕️ #ShapingLife3

So now only visitors from other countries will only be allowed in if they are clear Trump supporters. And since that number is probably less than 1% of scientists, scientific meetings will no longer be held in the US. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Don’t forget to register for this special conference. If you like gene regulation from single molecule approaches, please join us #EMBLSingleMolecule. Imaging and Omics and a bit of theory for lots of fun!

Looking forward to it!

In this study, we show that using four sgRNAs in parallel to target the same gene significantly increases the fraction of KO cells and leads to increased sensitivity in functional genomics experiments. 4/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My favorite thing about the @standupforscience.bsky.social map is that the French people obviously maintain their solidarity and know the history of our joint venture in revolution. Those in power in the U.S. would have us forget this, but I ’ll be Santa Fe tomorrow, how’s about you?
