We found a new asymmetry in the large-scale chromosome structure: sister chromatids are systematically shifted by hundreds of kb in the 5′→3′ direction of their inherited strands! The work was led by Flavia Corsi, in close collaboration with the Daniel Gerlich lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/

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 🧵👇

Trying something new: A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?" It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social 🔗 www.ft.com/content/73a1...

Addgene will no longer be using X, formerly Twitter. Instead, we'll be posting our 'microblogging' content here on Bluesky. blog.addgene.org/addgene-is-s...

Hey, science folks of Bluesky! Addgene has announced that it is fully committing to leaving X. They are taking a hit in their social media visibility to do this, but they have good reasons (blog.addgene.org/addgene-is-s...), as many of us do. Please give them a follow: @addgene.bsky.social

bioRxiv goes big on Bluesky: accounts for all subject categories now available (Please Reskeet) connect.biorxiv.org/news/2023/09...

New Preprint from the lab! We are exploring enhancer collaborations and find some really cool stuff! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the lab. What a privilege to work with my team!
