RIP John Gurdon

We are very pleased to announce our joint meeting with the German @gfeev.bsky.social and the Dutch Developmental Biology Societies, which will take place in Potsdam from the 10-13th of March 2026. Registration is now open! www.uni-potsdam.de/en/gfe-meeti...

Today in @nature.com, we present our work leveraging functional genomics and human blastoids to uncover a human-specific mechanism in preimplantation development driven by the endogenous retrovirus HERVK. Special thanks to the reviewers whose comments improved our manuscript a lot! rdcu.be/eI3tD

✨ It was great to attend the @vertebrategenomes.bsky.social Conference at @rockefeller.edu in New York City - Aiming to generate high-quality, near error-free reference genome assemblies for vertebrates to transform our understanding of biodiversity, evolution, and conservation 🐒🦒🐕🐗🦥🦉🐘

🚨 New from our lab in #ScienceAdvances! RAD21L cohesin acts as both a 3D genome architect and a transcriptional gatekeeper in the male germline. Its loss disrupts both structure and function—highlighting the tight link between genome folding and gene regulation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🎙️ 📻 New Heredity Podcast! We talk with @caitismuheil.bsky.social and Jessica McNeill about their work showing the sensitivity of meiosis to temperature and what this might mean for populations in a warming world. @ncstate.bsky.social @gensocuk.bsky.social Episode: shows.acast.com/heredity-pod...

One in six species on Earth experienced extraordinarily high temperatures across more than 25% of their range in 2024--the hottest year on record. For most, this was the second year of extreme heat, likely compounding risks. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🧐 El grup de recerca de la Integritat i la Inestabilitat del Genoma, liderat per la investigadora Aurora Ruiz-Herrera, demostra que els canvis en la temperatura ambiental poden alterar els processos genètics per a la reproducció i l’evolució de les espècies. @aruizherrera.bsky.social #IBBpapers
