🔬 Limb regeneration depends on regenerative signaling center cells — but how do these cells influence others to proliferate, migrate, or differentiate? We’re recruiting PhD or Postdoc candidates to explore this with our collaborator @osvaldo-chara.bsky.social !

Our publication is out today!Big Thanks go to my amazing collaborators: @sedonamurphy.bsky.social for her imaging brilliance and @mattjones.bsky.social for his computational support.They both saw the potential in this project and helped me to explore what turned out to be an exciting discovery.

In our "Meet the First Author" series, we spoke with Magdalena Schindler and Christian Feregrino about the fascinating world of bats, how teamwork can lead to friendship, and the potential of basic research. Watch the video ⬇️ and read the full interview here: www.molgen.mpg.de/2025-16-10-m...

Did transposable elements shape brain evolution — and if so, which ones, and in which cell states and lineages? Led by @tyamadat.bsky.social, we explored this question in cerebellum development using sequence-based deep learning models! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@blanka-majchrzycka.bsky.social did an absolutely amazing job!! created everything from scratch, set up #RMCE with the fantastic help from @arnaudkr.bsky.social and saw this thing through. She'll be looking for a #postdoc position very soon. I'd ask her if I were you!!!

Ever wondered what drives enhancer-promoter specificity? Why would an enhancer activate one gene rather than another neighboring one? Check our latest preprint, led by @mmasoura.bsky.social, to find out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

you must check out @yghavi.bsky.social and @mmasoura.bsky.social's story, who found a similar mechanism in Drosophila. it's so cool if two works align!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What mediates enhancer-promoter compatibility? Get some answers & learn about the important of the promoter-proximal region here 👇 Congratulations @blanka-majchrzycka.bsky.social @danielibrahim.bsky.social on this beautiful work!!!!🥂🥂

The peppered moth is a textbook example of natural selection, its colours shifting with the soot-darkened trees of the Industrial Revolution. But the genetic secret behind its “dark” form took 150 years to uncover: a new “jumping gene” that rapidly took over the population. 🦋 tinyurl.com/4zrc4e93

Our new story in Nature Genetics: endogenous retroviruses can produce viral-like particles in the embryo resulting in apoptosis and congenital malformation. If this would happen in human, it wouldn't leave a trace. No WGS or other analysis would identify this. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

😍😍😍 Thank you Anna!

So happy to see the illustration of our work featured on the cover of @natgenet.nature.com 😍 It represents digits desintegrating into viral like particles. Thank you so much @annaamonaco.bsky.social for making this design!
