DFAM (database of transposable elements) 3.9 is out! A lot of cool new stuff and a special update for Drosophila melanogaster... 1/2 #Transposon #DFAM

REPET got a complete overhaul in version 4.0 ! Etienne Bardet from @urgi-inrae.bsky.social presents the updates in #PAG32 forgemia.inra.fr/urgi-anagen/...

After @tehub.bsky.social satellite workshop at #ICTE2024 and the creation of a working group on benchmark, what about the next step ? A manual curation workshop ? Share your thougth with the TEhub

@johannconfais.bsky.social and @clementgoubert.bsky.social are presenting @tehub.bsky.social at #PAG2025, an amazing resource and driven community for anyone interested in transposable element

If you're at #PAG32, do yourself a favor and attend Clément's talks on Transposable Elements / polymorphism detection.

This collaboration was such a pleasure. Our new paper on cascades of HT after introduction of two TEs to human commensals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scraping who is on the platform working on #TransposableElements or other types of #RepetitiveDNA Have fun! go.bsky.app/7t5GQAP

Amazing talk of @nico971.bsky.social from @urgi-inrae.bsky.social on RepetDB #PAG32 urgi.versailles.inra.fr/repetdb/begi...

When it rains it pours! Another cool story of horizontal transposon transfer! 🧬➰🧬

Welcome @repeatmasker.bsky.social @dfam.bsky.social !!! #TEsky

Great opportunity of Postdoc in the field or repetitive DNA and genetic variation!

Excited to announce a Wellcome Trust funded *8-year* Senior position in the Transposon group: Understanding the role of locus-specific Transposons expression in cell fate decision. TEworldwide. To apply: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Did you ever wondered how "jumping genes" actually jump? 2 papers now published in Nature show the 3D structure of the enzyme responsible for this process for human LINE-1 retrotransposon (links 👇). Congrats to the authors! #TEsky #TEworldwide #transposon 🧪🧬🔬"Genome Stability" 👇

Great initiative by Ilya Kirov to make PhD positions in the transposon / mobile genome field easier to share and find. Here is a link to the google table he created for this: t.co/gW9DYsPQtJ
