Very cool! Looking forward to delving into this shortly 😍

The beautiful #Transposons community came together in St Malo's #ICTE24 to kick-off a concerted effort on developing much needed benchmarks! Thanks to all the participants, TEHub and International congress on transposable elements! More to come SOON!

Beautiful final evening in St. Malo after some great discussions TEHub #ICTE2024 Great conference in a beautiful place, always hard to say “Au Revoir” to Bretagne!

This is an absolutely mammoth undertaking, and the results are super cool 😍 wonder what other areas could benefit from similar initiatives 🤔

Totally 🤯 by Sam Sternberg talk at #ICTE2024 : phages have coopted bacterial RNA-guided transposons into RNA-guided transcription factors to precisely manipulate host gene expression! Likely used for inter-phage warfare!

Very cool work! Amazing to see so many new consensus sequences, and at important loci! And also to highlight the importance of looking at non-models of course! 😍

Very cool work! Great to be able to chat 🙌

I am at #ICTE2024 ! I have a few posts available in my lab. Come and talk to me if you would like to find out more 🥳

Very excited to announce that #EarlGrey has been accepted for publication Molecular Biology and Evolution 🥳 thanks to Alex Hayward and James Galbraith for all the work, amazing to share this after many years of work! doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

Dear friends of transposons: Genome Biology launched a special collection on 'TEs in genome evolution' with me and Juergen Schmitz as guest editors. We look forward to receiving your exciting new work by Dec 21 :) please RT biomedcentral.com/collections/TE…

A long time coming: To accompany #EarlGrey v4.0, the updated preprint is now on #BioRxiv 🥳
New BEAT process ✅
New benchmarks ✅
Incorporating community feedback and improvements ✅

At 2am on the 15 Nov DToL achieved 1000 species submitted! The 1000th species was Cosmorhoe ocellata - ‘The Purple Bar’.
This is a great milestone to hit and great team effort.

Fantastic meeting at EMBL for the #EMBOMobileGenome conference! Great to see how much exciting work is going on across the spectrum of TE research! Jam-packed 4 days, ready for home and rest now 😅

I'm excited to share our paper on repetitive elements in hundreds of insects just out in Genome Research 😀

Small updates and refinements in the #EarlGrey #TE Annotation tool for version 3.2. Available through #Bioconda for #Linux , #Mac OSX , and #Mac with #ARM processors (full guide for this on the project github: github.com/TobyBaril/Earl…

Curious about whether your favourite #fungal genome might have massive Starship #transposons in it? Check out our new preprint and tool starfish! doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Available to use now on github. github.com/egluckthaler/s… Emile Gluck-Thaler

PhD OPPORTUNITIES! I have 2 PhD projects for competitive funding (to start Sept/Oct 2024) based at the University of Exeter at the Cornwall campus. The projects are both exploring the link between climate warming and antibiotic resistance in microbial communities. Please share!

Good News! The Earl Grey #transposon annotation pipeline is now available via #bioconda , further lowering the barrier for usage by non-specialists! Big thanks to Dirk-Jan van Workum for figuring out the recipe! #Bioinformatics #TEAnnotation #Genomics #Research #GenomeAnnotation
