🧬Transposable elements are intriguing auto-replicative genomic units. But how do they encode the factors necessary for mobilization? How are they regulated? how do they evolve?🤔. Excited to share our latest research addressing these questions! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0….🧵

Woo! Katie Jeynes-Cupper here at #plantbiology2024 talking about her mobileRNA #R package- to help discriminate RNAs from different species - you can find the code up on Bioconductor! Also at poster #900-33

Only one week to go until the annual #SEBconference ( July 2-5!)! 🌟 With over 700 attendees, this event will be a hub of scientific exchange and networking. Don't miss out on groundbreaking research and valuable connections. sebiology.org/events/seb-con… See you there ❤️

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

I am honoured to receive the Post Graduate Teaching Award at the Educational Excellence Awards held at University of Birmingham. I feel privileged to be able to help students on their journey into science. Thank you to all who nominated me and all who put on a wonderful event.

Great to see the final version of our paper on H1’s role in RdDM patterning out in eLife tinyurl.com/yvzr7sfm! A huge thank you to everyone involved - including reviewers for helping us to make some exciting new connections! Brief thread below:

We need a new team member! Please apply if you are interested (or tell someone you know who might be!)

Yesterday was also the Journal of Experimental Biology science communication workshop for early-career researchers

We are excited to share our latest preprint, where we investigated the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression noise in Arabidopsis. This work was led by the amazing Jakub Zastąpiło Robyn Emmerson and Liudmila Mikheeva, great collaboration with Radu Zabet and Marco Catoni 1/n

I had the best (and busiest) time at the SEB conference this year! Thank you for coming to speak in our session Sara!
