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…

It’s happening🎉 First Latte ever in our new Cafeteria😉 Welcome chicco di caffe on Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich Campus Neuherberg

We will be in #EASLCongress 2024 with two amazing talks and two posters! If you want to learn more about our HBV research, visit our posters and come to talks on Friday will be given bu Dr. Anna Kosinska and Dr. Sophia Schreiber!

Why do most dopamine neurons die shortly after transplantation and how can we fix it? Excited to see our story out at Cell. Congrats to Taewan Kim & SoYeon Koo Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and to all the other collaborators who made this work possible. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Bridge RNAs are the likely ancestor of eukaryotic snoRNAs! Really exciting evolutionary analysis from the Sam Sternberg lab. Awesome to see that IS110 transposons may have played a key role in the evolution of complex life! So much to learn. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us at beautiful Baeza, Spain for “From DNA to Phenotype: Epigenetic mechanisms in resilience + adaptation”. - only 35 places available. Outstanding invited speakers ‼️ Registration now open: ➡️unia.es/estudios-y-acc…

This is the big one!🤩 Opening for an awesome group leader to join our community on the 5th/6th floor of the Biozentrum, University of Basel. We're looking for someone who brings an exiting biological program using a combo of structural biology, cellular imaging, and biophysics. 📢Retweet please!

New Pre-print Alert! My lab has previously shown that ALS cortex samples show 3 major transcriptional programs, reflecting: neuronal stress (ALS-Ox), neuroinflammation (ALS-Glia), and TPD-43 pathology associated transposable elements (ALS-TE). But what is a subtype?

Cool discovery with a youg transposable element SVA-F insertion in the human agouti signaling protein (ASIP) gene, influencing its splicing & skin colour. Echoes of the Avy locus IAP insertion in mice, albeit with a different (epi-)mechanism of regulation. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our Annual Reviews review about the evolution of transposon activity is finally officially published as open access!! We would love to hear your thoughts! annualreviews.org/content/journa…

So happy to see it published! Thanks to all collaborators Lorenz daphne cabianca Michael Menden Brent Stockwell Gabriele Ciceri Jason Tchieu and all others!

Transposable elements account for ~25% of 1,000,000 predicted regulatory DNA elements in the human genome! How did we get there? Find out in our new collaborative paper led by Alan Du and Xiaoyu Zhuo from Ting Wang lab and Jason Chobirko from our lab. Stoked to have this out!

Vitamin A: A Key to Stopping Ferroptosis & Boosting Neuronal Development 🧠 💡Dr. Kamyar Hadian, Dr. Michelle Vincendeau & team at #HelmholtzMunich revealed vitamin A’s critical role in inhibiting #ferroptosis during #NeuronalDevelopment! 👉t1p.de/kjlph 🧑‍🔬The study

Very happy to have Boston Children's Hospital cover our recent Science paper on macrophages quality assuring stem cells by sensing ROS (dooming) or endogenous viral elements (grooming). This discusses our future plans. answers.childrenshospital.org/blood-cancers-…

🚨Preprint alert🚨 Excited to share the #preprint version of our work MundlosLab ! Curious about how a transposable element (TE) insertion can cause developmental phenotypes? 🧬🦠🐁 Check the 🧵 below and the full version on BiorXiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
