📣 Talented PhD students wanted: The IMPRS for Genome Science @imprsgs.bsky.social and the DFG Research Training Group GönomiX are looking for you!

New in #SubtiWiki: Clusters of structural homologs! Enjoy the new feature! Thank you, Oskar Geissel & @c-elfmann.bsky.social @uni-goettingen.de @imprsgs.bsky.social

Want to shape the future of genome science? 🧬 PhD positions available at Max Planck Institute & Uni Göttingen (IMPRS-GS/GönomiX)! Join a vibrant, interdisciplinary research community. Apply by Jan 14, 2026: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/applicati... #GenomeScience #Research

💻 The Project: We will integrate multi-omics (bulk/scRNAseq, long-reads, ATAC-seq) to explore how duplicated genes diverge in regulation and function. 🤝 You will be part of the DFG SPP 2349 @gevol.bsky.social consortium & the @imprsgs.bsky.social, with research visits to collaboration partners (👇).

Happy to share our latest publication, in which we show that the arrangement of nucleosomes around CTCF sites contributes to higher-order organisation of chromatin into TADs: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

We are hiring the second cohort of EvoReSt PhD students. If you are interested in deep evolutionary questions, checkout: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/687607.html Apply here: obp.uni-goettingen.de/de-de/OBF/In...

How can scientific evidence guide political decisions? And how can researchers take an active role in democratic debate? These are the central questions of the Max Planck Science Policy Winter School (MP-SPWS), taking place January 25–30, 2026, in Berlin! Learn more: www.fkf.mpg.de/mpsps

Starting science at our retreat 2025 at Harnack Haus with the first talk by our guest @keyfm.bsky.social on evolutionary genomics of microbial pathogens. Interesting topic distracting from knowing the nice weather and surrounding.

Great start of our @imprsgs.bsky.social retreat 2025, with a kind “thank you” from our PhD students. It is such a pleasure to guide you throughout you project! Looking forward to three energetic and fruitful days, with lots of science and fun.

All metabolites have now been assigned to categories in #SubtiWiki! This helps to get a rapid overview on all molecules that are Part of a pathway or that group together for other reasons, Check it out! Thank you, @c-elfmann.bsky.social @unigoettingen.bsky.social @imprsgs.bsky.social

You want to apply #ATACseq in your emerging model organism, but you don't know where to start? Is #ATACseq the best method for my research questions? Search no more! We got you covered with our new review: doi.org/10.1002/jez.... Excellent collaboration with @gevol.bsky.social

Always an emotional moment when one of your trainees graduates. Here, Dr. Adi Mackay (Danieli), 10th PhD from our lab, after an impeccable defense and a well-deserved "summa cum laude" distinction. ...paper will hopefully follow soon and it will become very clear why the distinction was awarded.

Most important: Adi was supported in her journey to the doctorate title, which included motherhood and an incredible amount of work, by our @imprsgs.bsky.social PhD program and by the UMG's @kfo5002.bsky.social consortium on PDAC research.

Very happy to see that the work by Magdalena Karpinska from @mariekeoudelaar.bsky.social's lab at @mpi-nat.bsky.social is now out in NSMB! Mariano Barbieri from my lab contributed modeling that (we think) nicely explain CTCF contribution to multiway E-P interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

...the article is accompanied by a thoughtful commentary from @dariloops.bsky.social (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). The work is also a good example of collaboration within the @spp2202.bsky.social program funded by the @dfg.de, with Magda also supported by our @imprsgs.bsky.social PhD program.

How can we make better use of research data?💻 Our new Facility for Data Sciences and Biostatistics, led by Juliane Liepe, supports our scientists with bioinformatics, proteomics, transcriptomics, modeling, & statistical planning📊.
