🎈🎆Beyond thrilled to drop new preprint exploring how #transposons (TEs) contribute to natural resistance to HIV in “Elite Controllers” (ECs) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… a work from @TheNixonLab and @CedricFeschotte Lab Please see 🧵till end, it gets better with each 🧵 1/12

A study published in @GenomeBiology explores the role of transposable elements in antiviral resistance to HIV. The findings may help in understanding the molecular mechanisms of viral control and developing targeted interventions for HIV-1 treatment. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We are still seeking a dedicated PhD student for the exciting project on “Microtubule mechanical failure and interaction with tau proteins” @CompBioPhys. Check out the #jobadvert here 👇: #hiring mpinat.mpg.de/4793823/28-24?…
Back here to urge everyone to sign this petition to reverse the devastating NIH indirect cost cap policy. Also contact your elected officials to voice your concern. It’s time to make ourselves heard! Every voice counts. chng.it/WtbjwJ8GFT
Yo Folks! I saw some messages in my inbox. The more I get here, the more I don't wanna get here. Btw, expectedly Musk recently supported AFD. FX😨 Please PM me your bsky & I'll connect. #transposon #ERV community, as we're gonna launch a #TEbsky list, please connect. my bsky⬇️

PLOS is no longer posting on this platform. Please follow us on Bluesky (bsky.app/profile/plosbi…) and continue to engage with us and our content.
🏆 Huge congratulations to Ana Pombo for receiving Germany's most prestigious scientific award, the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, for her groundbreaking research on 3D genome architecture & gene regulation! #mdcBerlin
Congratulations, Ana Pombo! The #mdcBerlin scientist is awarded Germany's most important science prize: the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize by the German Research Foundation (@dfg_public). More about @apombo1 and her work: mdc-berlin.de/news/news/ana-… @BIMSB_MDC @helmholtz_de
I’m excited to share our latest study led by @GiuliaPasquesi out today in @CellPressNews , uncovering a new way transposons have been repurposed for human interferon signaling! Read on for a thread on cryptic splice variants, decoy receptors, and viruses (1/N) 👇🧵
I agree, #neuroscience has officially moved. This will be my last tweet Please like and RT this to make sure everyone knows where to join us!
We did it. We killed neuro twitter and it's resuscitation it's happening somewhere else. Come join us! thetransmitter.org/community/huge…

A friend asked if I had read a particular book, and I responded I've heard it. We are having a heated argument right now whether audiobooks are counted as reading.
This may well be my last post before the inevitable 🦋 migration but I wanted to share my excitement for this @GenSocUK conference on transposons kicking off in Leicester 🇬🇧 “The real point is control”. Barbara would be proud! genetics.org.uk/events/the-rea…
Congrats to Rob! 🏅A richly deserved recognition for many pioneering discoveries in epigenetic control of transposable elements 👏
Congratulations to our 2024 Genetics Society medal winner, Robert Martienssen. Rob is sharing his work on Germline small RNAs, the triploid block and the drive for maize domestication #GSTransposons @CSHLplants
The weather seems really sunny at bsky. I am slowly moving to bsky from here, and will be fully moved once I find there the most handles I follow ;)

Can't sleep, feels like a long night! US is not my country but the election polls are making me nervous. If the party favoring academia, diversity, equity and science doesn't win, something is very wrong with the world today.
Sometimes, especially when I jog at 0 degrees, a Nice Chai is way more precious than any drink in the world

Cool work from @spyros_darmanis that performs combinatorial-based superloading of @10xGenomics for scRNA-seq and multiome assays. Interesting idea to add the 10x barcode first, then the second barcode later: nature.com/articles/s4146…
PHENOMENAL!
Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired? Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥 bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)
Ha aha ha, and that’s the outlook of my current research grant 😂
Not one but TWO faculty searches in our department @CornellMBG 1️⃣ Cell & Mol Biol @weillinstitute academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28336 2️⃣ Human Genetics/Genomics academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28554 Outstanding science, supportive community, beautiful environment. We have it all! Spread the word 🙏
