This went under the radar but answers a fundamental question in Epigenetics... From many hundreds of olfactory receptor genes, each neuron selects expression of only single one (near-randomly). How? Outstanding work from Mathieu Boulard and colleagues www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Delighted to announce a new call for applications for our Pathway to Independence programme. Now entering its third year, this scheme supports postdocs going on the job market in 2025 - with training, mentorship, profile-raising and networking opportunities. Application deadline 31 Jan 2025. 1/3

A reason I am very wary of the loose ways we think about 'epigenetics' is because of these kinds of conclusions: DNA methylation mediates the link between adversity and depressive symptoms. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
