🚨 Have a look at our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A highly collaborative effort where we show that transposable elements are directly linked to a cell-type and region specific inflammatory state in Parkinson’s Disease.

Why repetitive DNA matters for human brain evolution and disease Lund University. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism needs to develop and survive, but only about 1.5% of it consists of protein-coding genes that determine traits such as eye col...

🧬 🧠A new Cell Genomics study by researchers at @lunduniversity.bsky.social (@jakobssonlab.bsky.social & @jakobssonasap.bsky.social) shows the non-coding genome is active in early brain development & may be relevant for understanding brain disease.

Team Jakobsson gathered in southern Sweden for a few inspiring days discussing PD, transposable elements and future plans. We even squeezed in a hike and enjoyed some beautiful views β˜€οΈπŸŒŠ @jakobssonlab.bsky.social @kirkebylab.bsky.social @mollygale.bsky.social @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org

These past 2 months as a visiting scholar at KU Leuven flew by! It has been so enriching to work side by side with #TeamVoet on @jakobssonasap.bsky.social research into Transposable Elements & Parkinson’s Disease 🧠🧬 Excited for what’s next!

Last week, some of us from Team Jakobsson had a great time in Arizona at the 2025 CRN Collaborative Meeting! Plenty of insightful talks and networking. Shoutout to @kirkebylab.bsky.social for a fantastic talk on PSC-based therapies and models of PD 🌟🧬🏜️ #CRNPhoenix2025 @asapresearch.bsky.social

LINE-1 retrotransposons regulate the exit of human pluripotency and early brain development Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (L1) retrotransposons represent a vast source of divergent genetic information. However, mechanistic analysis of whether and how L1s contribute to human development...

🚨 New pre-print from Team Jakobsson! LINE-1 retrotransposons regulate the exit of human pluripotency and early brain development.

This work was led by @anitaada.bsky.social, @raquelgarza.bsky.social and @jakobssonlab.bsky.social from the Jakobsson Lab.
