We are happy to share our latest work in @nature.com . We study the genomic and cellular basis of facultative symbiosis in Oculina patagonica - a Mediterranean coral remarkable for its ability to survive long periods without algal symbionts. Led by Shani Levy and @xgrau.bsky.social rdcu.be/eLbaZ

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...

Vertebrate Genome Evolution. Annual Symposium of the @louisjeantetfdn.bsky.social Foundation in Geneva. Free access on site and on line. Great speakers for a super interesting topic. #SvantePaabo #HenrikKaessmann organisers 🙏 See you there! @biology-unige.bsky.social @genevunige.bsky.social

Glad to share that the website for the MZT EMBO workshop that I organize together with Ana Boskovic (EMBL, Rome), Antonio Giraldez (Yale U) and Melissa Harrison (U Wisconsin) is out: meetings.embo.org/event/26-awa... Please spread the word and join us in beautiful Seville next 4-7 May!

Last days to apply! Cool project, cool cities! :-) (Please repost! 🙏)

🎁Wrapping up 5 days of science at the National Course of Genetics 🧬 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es As organizers, @aruizherrera.bsky.social and I have really enjoyed the organization. Thanks to all participants and professors for the lively discussion!! See you in 2027 😉

🔚Last day of the #CNG2025 by the @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es We close our scientific program with talks by @joadelas.bsky.social from UCL on developmental patterning, and Jose Manuel Franco @cnb-csic.bsky.social on transcription factors in plants 🌱

4️⃣ Fourth day of the CNG 2025 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma. ☀️Morning talks by @mamartirenom.bsky.social @cnag-eu.bsky.social on structural genomics, and @radaiglesiaslab.bsky.social @univcantabria.bsky.social on long-range gene regulation

How digits evolved ✋ Equivalent deletions of Hoxd regulatory domains in 🐟 and 🐭 revealed an ancestral cloacal function, suggesting that distal limb (digit) regulation was co-opted 🤯 👏Kudos @aurhin.bsky.social @chasebolt.bsky.social @homeobox.bsky.social @denisduboule.bsky.social and collab!

🥉Third day of #CNG2025 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es A pleasure to organize this with the great @aruizherrera.bsky.social Besides great science🔬, we are enjoying sunny weather ☀️ at the mountains of Madrid 🏔️ (some participants even tried the swimming pool at the lodge)

✌️2nd day of the National Genetics Course by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma🧬 ☀️Morning session with @marcguellc.bsky.social @upf.edu on genome engineering and synthetic evolution, and @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social from CNIC on transgenic animal models.

⚽Kick-of of the X National Course of Genetics organized by the @segenetica.bsky.social & Conexion Genoma @csic.es with @aruizherrera.bsky.social and myself as coordinators. One week discovering strategies to read, interpret and edit genomes 🧬

Felisa, a high school student from Algeciras, visited us last week. With a fellowship from fundación Campus Tecnológico de Algeciras & the Asociación Amigos de la Ciencia Diverciencia, she visited our lab @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social Great to find students that are so passionate about science 🧬

How bats developed their wings? 🦇 Turns out they reutilize existing gene programs 🔧 Find out more in our paper @natecoevo.nature.com in collaboration with @fany-real.bsky.social and @stemundi.bsky.social labs www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a periodic reminder that every method of research evaluation can be gamed. As this shows, even the cheats can be cheated - if a reviewer outsources their brain to a LLM, the authors will happily try to influence how the LLM does its job. techcrunch.com/2025/07/06/r...

👏Thrilled to see @miguel-torres-1963.bsky.social honoured with the Genetics National Award by the @segenetica.bsky.social Outstanding contributions to developmental biology and gene regulation. An inspiring figure to many of us. Congrats Miguel! 🎉 🎉 segenetica.es/miguel-torre...

🔬 La #SEBD se une al esfuerzo internacional para ayudar a @flybase.bsky.social una herramienta esencial para la biología del desarrollo 🧬. Ante los recortes de financiación, hemos contribuido con 500 € y animamos a toda la comunidad a apoyar este recurso clave para la investigación científica

Don’t miss this opportunity – National Genetics Course 2025! 🧬 Organized by SEG in collaboration with Conexión Genoma 🎤 Top-tier speakers 📍 La Cristalera, Madrid 📅 Sept 14–19, 2025 👥 Coordinators: @dariloops.bsky.social & myself 🎟️ Free attendance! 🔗 More info: segenetica.es/curso/cng2025/

🚨The formation of 3D chromatin hubs is a poorly understood phenomenon. I wrote a N&V about the excellent work Karpinska, Zhu and colleagues, from @mariekeoudelaar.bsky.social lab, who shed new light on the formation and function of these structures. rdcu.be/elPt3

🧠 MPRA + AI to decipher rules of enhancer grammar. I wrote some thoughts about the fantastic and inspiring work by Robert Frömel & colleagues from @larsplus.bsky.social lab at @crg.eu @upf.edu 👏👏👏 sciencemediacentre.es/en/design-dn...

Wow

Honored to receive the City Medal 🎖️ of Algeciras, my hometown. Thanks to all group members, past and present, who make our research possible. Also mentors, institutions and funding agencies for support. I hope this will stimulate further generations to follow the path of discovery and innovation.

A la Sociedad Española de Genetica tambien la podeis encontrar en el cielo azul! 🧬 @segenetica.bsky.social 👇

Just arrived into the Bluesky-verse 🤓 Still remember the "old Twitter" times when nice scientific discussions were all over the place. Maybe there is a chance for those times to come back...

We have gathered a Spanish Developmental Biology starter pack for those interested! Join the conversation and ask us to add you if you are not there yet! #DevBio go.bsky.app/UuRjx89
