- 🚨 The final version is out: how transposons help keep our hearts beating ❤️ Proud of this one with @1995dana.bsky.social, huge thanks to @trono-lab.bsky.social. Give it a read! #TEsky
- It is finally out! If you are interested in TE-derived CREs, and newly described, but evolutionary old KZFP-TE mechanistic modalities, read it at www.cell.com/cell-reports.... Thankful to everyone who took part in this work, namely @orpsf.bsky.social and other @trono-lab.bsky.social members. 🫀🧬✨

- Hi Duncan, I would love to be added to your list ! Thanks a lot !
- How do new centromeres evolve while staying compatible with the division machinery? Discover it in our new Nature paper! We show centromeres transition gradually via a mix of drift, selection, and sex, reaching new states that still work with the kinetochore. 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09779-1
- Congratulations Jana 🥳
- Thrilled to share our new review in Current Opinion in Genetics & Development on TE driven innovation in gene regulation🤘. I am honored to be part of this with two major TE aficionados @cedricfeschotte.bsky.social and @trono-lab.bsky.social #TEsky #TEworldwide authors.elsevier.com/c/1m6MC,LqAZ...

- Thank you Toby ! ☺️
- Had an absolute blast presenting my “Last Minute Breakthrough talk” at #EMBOmobilegenome today! 🔥 What an incredible crowd, the energy in the room was unreal. Huge thanks to the organizers for selecting me and to everyone who came, asked questions, and made it such a fun session! 🙌

- First-grader raises $1,000 for axolotl research, meets her scientist hero — and maybe gets taste of what she wants to do when she grows up

- Our work exploring a new explanation for the regulation of Hoxd genes and the #fin-to-limb transition. 🧪 It was an absolute joy working on this w/ @aurhin.bsky.social and @homeobox.bsky.social @denisduboule.bsky.social @neilshubin.bsky.social #evo-devo #InHoxWeTrust
- Congrats Chase !!! 👏🥳🙌 Beautiful work :)
- Finally 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
- Congrats 🎉🎊 beautiful story 🤩
- 🚨 Check out the latest from @trono-lab.bsky.social showing how evolutionarily young transcription factors contribute to human cell cycle regulation! Brilliant work led by Romain Forey and Cyril Pulver, now published in Cell Genomics. Check it out ! www.cell.com/cell-genomic...
- Absolutely delighted to share the fantastic PhD work of @1995dana.bsky.social that is very dear to my heart ❤️ (pun intended). 🧬 She reveals how L2/MIR transposable elements have been co-opted to safeguard cardiomyocyte identity 🫀 📖 Check out her thread and bioRxiv preprint for all the details! 🔗
- New preprint of @trono-lab.bsky.social and my PhD work! By modulating SWI/SNF remodeling at ancient transposable elements - LINE/L2s and SINE/MIRs, a "noncanonical" KZFP called ZNF436 protects cardiomyocytes from losing their identity. 🫀heartbeat on 🔁 repeat www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #TEsky
