Happy Barbara Day, happy #TransposonDay2025 to all that celebrate! Every day we get to work on transposons is such a privilege and joy, and I will never not be amazed by these jumping weirdos -the neutral, the bad and the good. Share some black walnut brownies with your friends today!

Excited to share the first PhD preprint of @iglavincheska.bsky.social — now on bioRxiv!
We explored the 3D genome of Zymo and found:
🧬 Rabl-like conformation
🧩 Accessory chr tethered to core centromeres
🏰 Self-interacting domains and boundaries with insulator motifs

A large conference hall with a screen and a presenter next to it. The slide is titled "very clean site specific insertion sites". The slide shows an alignment of several sequences with an insertion in one of them plus a photo of Lore Ament
Next, @fungage-lab.bsky.social on one of my favorite topics: starships 🚀 first, covering the discovery of unprecedentedly large mobile elements in Podospora. Shout out to @loreament.bsky.social, here with us in spirit

I'm learning so much about TEs!
Josje Romeijn asks if TE defense mechanisms are so good... How do TEs stick around?
Could Horizontal Gene Transfer 🧬📨🧬 be the answer?
They found 5518 potential horizontal TE transfer events across 1348 species!

What can we learn about extreme (and not so extreme) adaptation from Rhodotorula?
From food 🍛 to space flight 🚀. And dishwashers 🍽️ and deserts 🏜️. The pink 🩷 yeast are widely distributed.
400+ new genomes reveals new weirdly large genomes.. Hybrids? Duplications? 🤷🏽♀️

Dive into the massive genomes of plant pathogenic rust fungi! 🌿🍄
Our study reveals how ancestral & recent bursts of transposition have shaped these remarkable genomes.
👏 Congrats to @Emma______C on her 1st PhD paper!
