- Reposted by Daniel Medina-CanoHello everybody, I am looking for an Engineer (IE) to help me start the lab at LBMC / ENS-Lyon in April. We will investigate chromatin organization during replication in yeast. RT appreciated! To apply: inserm.softy.pro/offre/187863 @lbmcinlyon.bsky.social #NewPI #3DGenome #chromatin #replication
- Reposted by Daniel Medina-CanoWhile stories of singular DNA changes that drove evolution of human brain/behaviour remain seductive, advances across multiple fields of biology cast doubt on such simplistic narratives of our origins. A new paper from my lab shows how biobanks may speak to this fundamental question.🧪 Explainer🧵👇1/n

- Reposted by Daniel Medina-CanoSo exciting to see this in print! Ever wondered how embryonic cells know what (fate) to become during early development? In particular when they might see different signaling cues? We investigated this! And a lovely cover from Zoe Ruiz and @oliveringe.bsky.social! www.cell.com/developmenta...
