Thrilled to share that the lab has been awarded a @wellcometrust.bsky.social Discovery Award to keep exploring the evolution of 6-methyladenine #6mA in Eukaryotes. We'll open postdoc (3️⃣) and tech (1️⃣) positions to start in 2026, please share with candidates or reach out if you’d like to join us.

Barbara McClintock portrait

🧬🌽 Happy Transposon Day! 🌽🧬

Today we celebrate the birthday of Barbara McClintock - scientist extraordinaire and discoverer of jumping genes. Still the only woman to have an unshared Nobel Prize in the biomedical sciences #TransposonDay2025

Let’s make it official: I will soon be joining the @alexdemendoza.bsky.social lab at @qmul.ac.uk as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow! 🇪🇺🇬🇧🎉
#SMALLGIANT will investigate the evolution of small RNAs in organisms with giant endoviral elements 🧬🔬🧫

I can’t wait to start this exciting journey!

Behind the scenes: I posted in my blog the nice connections of this paper and our collaborators. Catrina, the coauthor, was my co-mentee in her honors project, which integrated this paper. Check this out jordanainoliveira.weebly.com/news

We found that the pattern of TEs and effector genes distribution mirrors what is seen in plant pathogens. Confirming also that AMF species can potentially have two-speed genome architecture. Previously only known for R. irregularis species.

Analyses of Transposable Elements in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Support Evolutionary Parallels With Filamentous Plant Pathogens Abstract. Transposable elements are repetitive DNA sequences that excise or create copies that are inserted elsewhere in the genome. Their expansion shapes

Happy to share that our paper "Analyses of Transposable Elements in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Support Evolutionary Parallels With Filamentous Plant Pathogens" is out.

A frase original é “Aut Cesar aut nihil”.

Eu tenho Doutorado em Genética. A minha avó materna não pôde frequentar a escola. Por ela e tantas outras, buscar o conhecimento, ler e escrever são a minha forma de resistência. Feliz Dia das Mulheres.

I just found out that I am part of Barbara McClintock’s scientific lineage, she was my great-great-great-grand-supervisor! That perfectly explains my passion for transposable elements. Feeling on the right track! 🤓🥹🥰

I have a PhD in genetics and I am interested in how the life evolved (and continues to evolve).
An adventure in jumping genes and genome evolution. From 🇧🇷 to 🇨🇦 and soon 🇬🇧 Because science has no borders 🌎✈️
