- oh wow so accurate 🥹
- Reposted by petar glažar🥳 Very grateful for the support of the ERC Starting Grant for my newly established lab! We will study how transposable elements contribute to mammalian embryonic development. We will have positions available next year. Stay tuned!
- 📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out! Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025! ➡️ buff.ly/IsafuFh #FrontierResearch 🇪🇺#EUfunded #HorizonEurope
- It's that time of the year - @mdc-berlin.bsky.social Pride Symposium in its 4th edition with great talks and discussions on intersectionality and DEI in general. As Neil Young said on Waldbuehne the other day - "Times are rough, we gotta look out for each other" 🫶 #MdcDiversity
- Reposted by petar glažarFinally out! 🥳 Our paper showing how a transposable element (TE) insertion can cause developmental phenotypes is now published @natgenet.nature.com 🧬🦠🐁 Below is a brief description of the major findings. Check the full version of the paper for more details: www.nature.com/articles/s41588-025-02248-5
- Reposted by petar glažarWe wrote a review on Transposable Elements (TEs) and almost all aspects of TE silencing and their roles in biological processes & disease. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- From Posters to Parades: Inside Woodstock.Bio² & Night Science Conference @natanellae.bsky.social gives us a glimpse of what happened during #TCTeAC @woodstocknightsci.bsky.social 👀🎵💃 thenode.biologists.com/from-posters...
- this is happening! ☀️
- We are excited to officially welcome a new group leader at the MPI-IE in #Freiburg. 🎉 Dr Juliane Glaser 🥳 – she studies epigenetic mechanisms of embryonic development, with a focus on transposable elements. 👉 Interview: www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de/6043545/2025... Welcome, @julianeg.bsky.social!
- Reposted by petar glažarI am heartbroken about the loss of many labs at the Weizmann Institute yesterday in the missile attack. Dear scientists there: please know that you are not alone. Like many many others, I support you and am standing by to help you in any way I can.

- #TCTeAC brought more stickers for day2, find the girl with the lipstick 💄 to get yours! 😉

We show that condensate microenvironments play a key role, and can be probed by a micropeptide killswitch in live cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41... in @nature.com with @yaotianzhang.bsky.social Denes Hnisz & team.
- Reposted by petar glažarHow to find Evolutionary Conserved Enhancers in 2025? 🐣-🐭 Check out our paper - fresh off the press!!! We find widespread functional conservation of enhancers in absence of sequence homology Including: a bioinformatic tool to map sequence-diverged enhancers! rdcu.be/enVDN github.com/tobiaszehnde...
- I think at this point I am moslty learning new biology from Jordi's memes 🔥🔥
- Proud to present the peer-reviewed version of our Cell Type Allometry paper, out today in Science Advances! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Are animals of different sizes made of the same cell types? Here’s an update of the main points and revision items (with memes!) Thread 👇🧵
- Sequencing reads get longer, aligners get faster, LLMs get smarter, Katy Perry goes to space, but I still cannot type RNase without autocorrect making it weird.
- Reposted by petar glažarOur 3D study of the tumor microenvironment is finally out! Play around with the data yourself at lung-3d-browser.mdc-berlin.de (Kudos to @danilexn.bsky.social👏 ) Many thanks to Nikolaus Rajewsky lab at @mdc-bimsb.bsky.social and everyone involved, it takes a village to raise a multimodal paper!

- FDA plans to phase out animal testing requirement for drug testing and replace it with “AI-based computational models of toxicity” and organoid toxicity testing www.fda.gov/news-events/...
- Reposted by petar glažarAnd on other news. My first contribution to science as a postdoc with @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social is out! We discuss the knowns and unknowns of post-transcriptional splicing. It was really fun to write with the great @karinechoquet
