❓Can a father’s environmental exposures before conception influence their offspring? We systematically tackled this - identifying effects of paternal age, environment and genetics on early embryos - as well as confounding influences www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Very excited to share an excellent review from @teresa-urli.bsky.social, published one week before her PhD defense! We did a deep dive into the fascinating biology of the variant Polycomb complex, PRC1.6 (1/5) journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Very happy to have contributed to this review on "non-CG" #methylation in animals now out in @natgenet.nature.com. Working again with @obog.bsky.social and Tirsa is always a pleasure. We think this not so well studied form of methylation should be more widely considered, please read: rdcu.be/eFAEk

Many people were essential, I can only tag a handful here! @caseywdunn.bsky.social @stevehaddock.bsky.social @colinjanthony.bsky.social @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social @catmunro.bsky.social @amandine-oceano.bsky.social @scientifikita.bsky.social @guillermodelia.bsky.social & Yale Peabody Museum

Excited to share our study on sailing siphonophores, AKA bluebottles or man-o'-war! 🌊 we received hundreds of samples from scientists around the world, part of a huge effort to sequence genomes and test for multiple species 🧬 out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 🦑🧪📌

EPIGENETIC HULK READY TO SMASH AGAIN! GET IN LOSERS!

Sequence-alignment is not the best way to detect conserved cis-regulatory elements? Tobi Zehnder from Vingron-Lab developed #IPP a synteny based algorithm with @ferencmueller.bsky.social, @borislenhard.bsky.social& @da-bar.bsky.social We used it to find conserved enhancers with diverged sequences

I am super excited to announce the first (brief) pre-print purely from my group: Start right to end right: authentic open reading frame selection matters www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This marks a return to NMD research for me. NMD detects early stop codons but we need to find the true stop!

So excited that our latest work is out! We have been working to understand how damaged tissue exits regeneration and returns to normal gene expression, and found a major role for the pioneer transcription factor Zelda in flies. Kudos to @anishbose.bsky.social @keatonschuster.bsky.social et al!

If you are interested by epigenetics, early human development in excellent scientific environment in middle of Paris, we are recruiting a postdoc. app.beetween.com/WeaselWeb/p/... Don't hesitate to apply or share the post !

SOX and POU are crucial Transcription Factors in animal development, believed to be innovations of this group. Here we find them in unicellular relatives of animals. And hold tight, you can use a choanoflagellate 🦠 SOX gene to make a full chimeric 🐁 ! Read more here 🧵: rdcu.be/d0dPN 1/6

The new program of Evolutionary Medical Genomics, lead by @mirimiam.bsky.social, and shared between our Institute, CRG & UPF will hold its 1st symposium next week. Our work on unicellular relatives of animals and tumorigenesis will be represented by Yosuke. Link: evomedgenomics.com/events/inaug...
