@anneroulin.bsky.social Because plants are fantastic @ibb-botanic.bsky.social 🙂! And because we are developing a pipeline to identify gene-TE chimeric transcripts across species and we are experimentally validating some of them.

We are growing our first #Arabidopsis accessions!! Thanks to Nacho and colleagues at CRAG @uab.cat and Sònia @sphaeromeria.bsky.social @ibb-botanic.bsky.social!!

📢 Don’t miss the upcoming seminar: ‘Bacteria adapt by horizontal gene transfer driven by mobile elements, but who moves whom and for whose benefit?’, given by Dr Eduardo Rocha, Institut @pasteur.fr  (París).

Felicitats @araujolabub.bsky.social!!

I couldnt agree more @harmitmalik.bsky.social. We should celebrate instead the great scientists that are generous with their time and knowledge, which impacts not only their labs but the careers of so many others. We should also speak up when scientists, no matter how powerful, behave unethically.

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

A new release of RepeatMasker is available. This version fixes a bug introduced in 4.2.1 that impacted the handling of poly-A tails and the naming of LINE annotations. See repeatmasker.org for more release details.

Congratulations Vivien @vivienhorvath.bsky.social! This is great news!!

🧠 🌟 Im very happy and grateful for receiving the Starting Grant from the Swedish Research Council. This support will allow my lab at Umeå University to further understand the role of transposons in oligodendrocyte specific human brain ageing. Looking forward to the exciting research! 🧬 🧠

Join us in Montpellier if you are interested in #evolution #genomics #adaptation #invasive species or if you want to get to know a collegial group of #Drosophila enthusiasts

1/ Ever needed to annotate TEs in a fungal genome, but didn't know where to start?

We have released #MycoMobilome, a community-focused non-redundant database of transposable element consensus sequences for the fungal kingdom, constructed from >4,000 fungal genomes!
