Super outreach of En Quête de Bio this morning, with a group of 18 volunteers coming to amaze kids with developmental biology! Since June, 2022: 4280 kids , 64 volunteers, and 15 cities! Go on www.eqd-bio.org for more info @sfbd.bsky.social @bardinlab.bsky.social‬

In our latest @biorxiv-genomic.bsky.social preprint, we describe our approach to use PacBio HiFi reads to detect somatic TE transposition -- good enough to detect rare events that are present in only single cells. Led by Andrea Movilli. #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our paper on Alternative epigenetic states of Arabidopsis Transposable Elements is finally out in Genome Biology ! rdcu.be/d6Yly

To kick start the New Year, I'm delighted to share the lab's first preprint - now online: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... See below for a couple of highlights👇 Any feedback is welcome! "TEsky" HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! 🥂

For my first post on Bluesky I am happy to share our recently accepted review in Plant Physiology on the epigenetic control of a fascinating mobile DNA : the Agrobacterium TDNA, during plant transgenesis and pathogenesis track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...
