Registration is now open for our conference focused on Cerebellar Development and Disease at Single-Cell Resolution in Heidelberg, Germany on Sept 11-13th, 2024! indico.dkfz.de/event/793/

Very excited to announce the inaugural symposium of our EvoMG Program Joint Program on Evolutionary Medical Genomics! Join us in Barcelona on the 20th-22nd of November (no registration free). Great speakers and cool and diverse topics! Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) UPF Medicine and Life Sciences Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE)

Out now: our work on the generation and characterization of dox-inducible KRAB-dCas9 iPSCs of different primate species🚶🦍🐒 We are excited and looking forward to using these cell lines in many CRISPR-based experiments. cell.com/iscience/fullt… ⬇️

Incredibly excited to see this paper out! Evolution of ‘suspended animation’ (diapause) in the African killifish! Huge congrats to Param P Singh G. Adam Reeves and all authors! cell.com/cell/fulltext/… A thread 🧵...

"While much of Europe is obsessing over this year’s European Football Championships, many Estonians — whose team didn’t qualify — are absorbed in their own genomes." And they have pretty awesome genomes, I must say! Read the full story by Ewen Callaway: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Extremely excited to share positive top-line results from our second ever clinical trial -- Neuren molecule NNZ-2591. Thank you to all the families who participated & to Neuren for making it happen! neurenpharma.com/pdf/045de136-d… #Neuren #Pitthopkins #research #clinicaltrials #results

Extremely happy to highlight this cool preprint from Stein Aerts lab 🥳🥳 Join the chicken revolution! 🐣😍

Looking forward to the visit MPI for Biological Intelligence

Cool evolution of spectral barcoding for RNA in situ: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of this paper from Hanna Vihma and colleagues. Great collaboration with the Aube lab. UNC Neuroscience Center AngelmanSyndromeFdn Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative nature.com/articles/s4146…

The lab continues to grow, and we are #hiring! Come work with us as a postdoc or technician. Positions are fully funded and flexible in scope. There are so many cool things to do!

We are looking for a computational PhD student to take lineage tracing in human to the next level. Read our preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and the job ad recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs/p…

Beyond excited to be part of this amazing program! Thank you, Simons Foundation and Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative, for believing in my research. Dreams do come true! Looking forward to connecting with this inspiring community. Congrats to all the fellows! ZMBH - Center for Molecular Biology Heidelberg Kaessmann Lab

We felt compelled to highlight major issues in a recent paper on de novo genes, thus also drawing attention to both the general challenges and the exciting opportunities in this research field. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Major effort from the lab (💪Robert Frömel), finally on biorxiv: We built 60,000 fully synthetic enhancers and measured their cell state specific activity during blood stem cell differentiation. Why did we do that and what did we learn🧵? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Participate in a fantastic high-level programme at #ISDN2024 Listen to our 4 plenary speakers and choose from 10 symposia - with more than 40 speakers - highlighting new advances in #developmentalneuroscience. View the full programme and register at bit.ly/ISDN2024

It is challenging to study the ability of transcription factors to engage their motifs in the cell. We tried to address this in our new study together with Marco (Marco Pregnolato), Schübeler Lab, and FMI science: cell.com/molecular-cell…
