Lab Nicola Iovino

Exciting news! Our latest work in the Nicola Iovino Lab, “Chromatin landscape at cis-regulatory elements orchestrates cell fate decisions in early embryogenesis,” is now published in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

There is a open position for a postdoc with computational skills at @Iovino_Lab jobs.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/jobposting/e9e… Dont miss the great opportunity

This is the summary of what we have shown in this paper. The take-home message is that facultative heterochromatin is slowly formed by the H2Aub1-reading PRC2.2 complex in a stepwise manner. 10/11

Super proud of Filippo and @atinbayeva for writing this insightful review on early embryo epigenetics.

I am excited to join the Max Planck Institute in Freiburg as a Director! Grateful to all my colleagues for their incredible support. Thrilled to contribute to the fantastic scientific environment for epigenetic research here. ✨ @Iovino_lab @mpi_ie @maxplanckpress #Epigenetics

Yesterday, we hosted the #TriRhena Gene Regulation Club in Freiburg. More than 80 researchers from @FMIscience Basel, @IGBMC Strasbourg, @mpi_ie & @BUnifr with a shared interest in #transcription, #chromatin, #gene expression & #RNA processing joined for the half-day symposium.…

I am happy to share our new work on H3K9me3 in early embryos: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… -H3K9me3 is inherited from the oocyte to the embryo (F1), like H3K27me3. -HP1a binds independently of H3K9me2/3 in early embryos. -The formation of HP1a foci is dependent on H3K9me2/3.

The club is back: TriRhena Gene Regulation Club on January 2024 in Strasbourg. 3 years ago, we had to cancel the last Chromatin & Transcription Club. Now, teams from @FMIscience, @IGBMC and the @mpi_ie bring back the event renamed »Gene Regulation Club«. ie-freiburg.mpg.de/gene-regulatio…

Ever considered that the loss of your favorite epigenetic factor might impact gene expression in an allele-specific manner? Our new study shows allele-specific gene regulation by the chromatin regulator MSL2.nature.com/articles/s4158…

Fascinating results by one of our latest offspring. Fides Zenk, former Postdoc in the @Iovino_Lab, started her own lab recently. In the meantime, she also managed to work on epigenetic regulation of brain organoid development. 😄

Fantastic work, shedding light on epigenetic regulation of brain organoid development! @josch_f @TreutleinLab @EpiGN_Lab @GrayCampLab

🧠 Exciting News! 🌟 Dive into the fascinating world of #epigenomics changes in human #brainorganoid development! 🧬 Our work with @josch_f, @TreutleinLab @ETH_BSSE, and @GrayCampLab @IHB_Research is now live! 🚀 🧵 (1/6) tinyurl.com/kebmbxj8

Last week, attended the EMBL Conference for Chromatin and Epigenetics in Heidelberg. Learned so much! Thanks to the conference organizers @Iovino_Lab @AsifaAkhtar1, Prof Gary Karpen, Prof Yihudi Bergman, and @teichlab for having me! Beautiful campus and yummy cake 😋

Our Special Guest Lectures Series is in full swing. Next week, we welcome a speaker again: Yi Zhang (@YiZhang_Lab, @Harvard): “Embryonic development: Zygotic genome activation, genomic imprinting, and Polycomb silencing” - Friday, May 12, 2023, 11:00AM. Thanks to @Iovino_Lab!

Excited to share the paper just published in #ScienceAdvances from @Iovino_Lab demonstrating CBP & Gcn5 drive zygotic genome activation independently of their catalytic activity bit.ly/3LpI1RH & our review of the area on “Epigenetic Moonlighting” bit.ly/3N4wIzk

#EMBLChromatin is almost here!🙌🏽 You have until 13 Feb to submit your abstract👩🏾‍🔬 Our scientific organisers are excited to welcome a renowned group of speakers from across the world - and, of course, you!🌏 📍EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual 📅15 – 18 May 💻s.embl.org/chr23-01

“The chromatin community is standing on the shoulders of a giant & we will miss one of the most inspirational scientists and a true friend. His legacy will shine forever.” – Thomas Jenuwein on the passing of David Allis (@RockefellerUniv) ie-freiburg.mpg.de/in-memoriam-da…

Hi epigenetic inheritance, genomic imprinting & Polycomb lovers, I wrote a review on noncanonical imprinting. I wish you enjoy it!😀 Noncanonical imprinting: intergenerational epigenetic inheritance mediated by Polycomb complexes sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The #GeneRegulationWorkshop 2022 will take place on 5. September @unil. Great speaker lineup @cecerelab, @Iovino_Lab, @kaessmannlab, @marcelonollmann, @PauliGroup, @EddaGSchulz, and free attendance in person or online! Please RT and register. generegulationworkshop.ch

Opening for an ERC funded postdoc position to decode context dependent genetic networks in Arabidopsis. You have experience in plant genetics and development, imaging, or genomics? Apply! Fantastic collaboration with @Boutroslab @OliverStegle and @wolfgangkhuber PLZ RT
