Happy to share the results of a long-haul post-doc project, now online @science.org, aiming at understanding the rules of transgeneration epigenetic inheritance over TEs in plants and its extent and impact in nature. More below! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Hi! We are looking for a PhD to work on the cross talk between transposable elements, insects and intracellular bacteria on the bioinformatics side. The PhD would be supervised by @mariefablet.bsky.social and myself along with @nicolasparisot.bsky.social Deadline December 2025! Please share! #tesky

Our new review is out in Trends in Cancer. We had fund writing this :) We discuss the roles of retrotransposons in immune modulation in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. www.cell.com/trends/cance...

New paper from our lab! We found that LINE-1 transposons contribute to early human brain development. Funded by @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org www.cell.com/cell-genomic...

🦟 Bioinformatics Research Scientist position open in my lab in Nice (FR) to study Aedes mosquito retrotransposons & their interactions with arboviruses collab w/ @salehlabparis.bsky.social & @lambrechtslab.bsky.social Apply: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/359830 Please boost! #ArboRetro #Bioinformatics

Have you ever wanted to design large and complex ribozymes from scratch? I know I have! We used RNA inverse folding to design synthetic Group II Introns (G2Is) from the bottom up, resulting in highly active #ribozymes that splice in E. coli without proteins! #intron #RNAsky #SynBio 🧬🧵(1/n)

🌊 Tout le mois de juin, dans le cadre de l'Année de la Mer et en marge de l' #UNOC3, retrouvez la très belle exposition du @cnrs.fr "L'océan si fort et si fragile" sur la Promenade de l'Octroi à Villefranche-sur-Mer ! Les experts décryptent ce monde bleu, clé de l’équilibre de notre planète 🌎

Ce 22 mai, le campus Valrose d’Université Côte d’Azur a accueilli plus de 500 élèves issus de 25 classes de collèges et lycées pour la grande restitution de fin d’année des projets scolaires "Science et Société". Une journée placée sous le signe de la curiosité scientifique et de la créativité !

Our paper is now published in its final form: rdcu.be/elV6u @biomedcentral.bsky.social @salehlabparis.bsky.social @merklinglab.bsky.social @pasteur.fr

💥🥳 At long last, our latest paper is out! Gag proteins of endogenous retroviruses are required for zebrafish development www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Led heroically by Sylvia Chang & @jonowells.bsky.social A study which has changed the way I think of #transposons! No less! 🧵 1/n

Interested in the analysis on Transposable elements? 🧬 Have a look at our course with @valentinapeona.bsky.social & @ritarebollo.bsky.social We'll cover everything from TE biology to de novo library construction, quantification, & transcriptomic analysis. www.physalia-courses.org/courses-work...

Fantastic talk by @aktast.bsky.social unraveling how RNA binding proteins tame the TE transcriptome, control their exonization and allow for the peaceful co-existence of TE and host genes. LOVE IT. #TECSHA

Great talk by @emiliebrasset.bsky.social at #TECSHA on the regulation of piRNA production in germline vs somatic compartments of Drosophila ovary. Sophisticated mechanisms have evolved to control different sets of TEs, to the benefit (I think) of both host and TEs.

Un scientifique utilise la chimie pour créer des œuvres d'art visuelles époustouflantes. En combinant différents éléments et réactions chimiques, il produit des images fascinantes dans une goutte d'eau 💧!

Our study with Anjana Rao's lab was just published at NSMB 🥳 Shows how OGT prevents TET proteins from activating retrotransposons, particularly those in heterochromatin. Paper has 6-base and ONT sequencing data from OGT iKO mESCs, and also interesting OGT inhibitor data 👀. rdcu.be/efuho

Hi! Here is a PhD opportunity at Montpellier, IGH institute with Séverine Chambeyron to study endogenous retroviruses ! #TEsky #PhD

Our latest paper is out in NAR! 🥳 In collaboration with @saramaciasrna.bsky.social, we show DGCR8 haploinsufficiency disrupts pluripotency in hESC by affecting primate-specific miRNAs and TEs. Our findings highlight a co-evolved miRNA-TE network in primates. Read: academic.oup.com/nar/article-...

#RésultatScientifique🔎 | Vieillissement : un bouclier levé ? @juliencherfils.bsky.social et ses collaborateurs ont découvert comment un glycolipide protège les cellules sénescentes du système immunitaire. En le ciblant, ils parviennent à réduire les effets du vieillissement chez la souris ! 🧪

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇

Here, we demonstrate that Starships, a newly discovered group of cargo-mobilizing transposable elements, are active vectors of horizontally transferred DNA among eukaryotic species.

Did you know that two jumping sequences (LINE-1 and Alu) make up nearly 30% of our genomes? Ever wonder how they jump into new genomic sites? We have some exciting discoveries to share new in @science.org on the structural mechanisms of LINE-1 retrotransposition (aka jumping 🧬➡️🧬) 🧪 #ScienceResearch
