Congrats to @allanaschooley.bsky.social et al. @jobdekker.bsky.social on this beautiful paper, using a very elegant experimental system, to discover a chromosome intrinsic 3D genome folding program and microcompartmentalization of CREs at mitotic exit:

🚨Our story is published! Same bones but + dissection of MERVL’s role integrating signals from #ZGA factors, & + about pathological DUX4 activation of NOXA #TEsky. Thanks to all revs for their helpful comments improving the ms. Even #rev3 - until they ghosted us 😜 www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Be sure to also check out the great paper from @andersshansen.bsky.social and colleagues where they discover microcompartments on mitotic chromosomes using Region Capture Micro-C. Exciting times for those interested in chromosome conformation during cell division! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new study supports that aging begins in the early stages of embryo development, and not only in adulthood @canalugr canal.ugr.es/noticia/a-ne...

When and how do we start aging? Our recent work, led by Amador Gallardo, suggests that aberrant expression of ancient viral remnants in our genome—already during embryonic development—may induce aging in adults. 😮https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63778-4.pdf

🔴 ¡Acaba de publicarse en Nature Communications (@natcomms.nature.com)! 🎉 Feliz de haber contribuido a este increíble trabajo del grupo de David Landeira (@davidlandeira.bsky.social), con Amador Gallardo como primer autor. (1/2)

Ahi va la nota redactada por nuestro equipo de divulgación sobre nuestro ultimo trabajo! canal.ugr.es/noticia/enve...

Thrilled to share our story in its final form! nature.com/articles/s41... 💥 After ~10 years, we show that BMAL1 represses transposons via chromatin regulation in embryonic stem cells—rather than circadian rhythms as in adult tissues.
