- Reposted by Sònia GarciaOrganizing the National Course of Genetics 🧬 by @segenetica.bsky.social and Conexion Genoma @csic.es alongside @dariloops.bsky.social has been a blast! A great opportunity for young researchers to learn and interact with leaders in the filed of #genomics during a whole week - the future is bright!
- Interested in repetitive DNA? We are organising a free workshop on Oct 2nd at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona! All organisms included - not only plants ;-) Last chance for registration, don’t miss it! bit.ly/repetitiveDN...

- Reposted by Sònia Garcia1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇

- Reposted by Sònia GarciaThis is so destructive and idiotic. mRNA vaccines are one of the most exciting opportunities to tackle diseases - from infectious disease to cancer and beyond - and these morons want to shut it down.
- Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field. By @arthurallen202.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

- Reposted by Sònia GarciaIt’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

- Reposted by Sònia GarciaIt’s often assumed that the horizontal transfer of transposons btw animals is rare (Myr scale). But recent detective work by Kofler lab & others suggest HT must be very frequent, so that a single transposon can successfully invade multiple species around the world in just a few decades! Wild!
