- Reposted by Anamaria ElekWe are thrilled that our study on the evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development – led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social – is now out in @ScienceMagazine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz Led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social
- Reposted by Anamaria ElekExciting news to start the new year! We’re thrilled to see this work finally out in @natecoevo.nature.com, the result of a major collaboration between my lab and the labs of Veronica Hinman and Nacho Maeso, began many years ago with the dear José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Anamaria ElekExcited to share the final version of our study on Nematostella cell type regulatory programs. Part of our @erc.europa.eu StG project, this was a challenging 5-year effort extraodinarily led by @aelek.bsky.social and @martaig.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Anamaria ElekLovely Xmas gift 🎄—our paper is out today in @natecoevo.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...! Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible, especially @aelek.bsky.social and @arnausebe.bsky.social

- Reposted by Anamaria ElekWe are happy to share our latest work in @nature.com . We study the genomic and cellular basis of facultative symbiosis in Oculina patagonica - a Mediterranean coral remarkable for its ability to survive long periods without algal symbionts.

- BCA is a project to look out for — charting the diversity of cell type transcriptomes across the tree of life. Not only will it empower evolutionary studies, but also drive advances in biotechnology, biomedicine, and ecology. Kudos to the relentless, meticulous, and persistent team doing this work!
- Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- I am very happy to have posted my first bioRxiv preprint. A long time in the making - and still adding a few final touches to it - but we're excited to finally have it out there in the wild: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Read below for a few highlights...
- In this project we wanted to extend cell type characterization in early-branching animals from transcriptome-based (scRNA) to regulatory-based definition, by experimentally profiling chromatin accessibility (scATAC) and computationally inferring TF binding to cis-regulatory elements (CREs).
- Enhorabuena to my first PhD sibling 🥰
