A week left to apply to our fully funded PhD studentship (thanks to the Generation Trust!) - entry point updated to either June or October (so no worries if you are currently finishing your MPhil!). Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about the opportunity or the project itself.
Now out @natbiotech.nature.com ! Do lncRNAs commonly bind 1000s of genomic sites? Maybe they do, but the dozens of studies that report genomic binding maps of lncRNAs are deeply flawed, with probes binding suprious DNA sites rather than RNA-bound ones.

Excited to share our Nature Genetics Research Briefing on how the repetitive genome helps shape leukemia stemness.
We found that transposable elements sustain stem-like states in AML and predict patient outcomes.

New preprint! In an fun collaboration with @imaeso.bsky.social and @mirimiam.bsky.social led by Manu F-M, we set to explore the potential adaptation of transposable elements 👾 to host adenine DNA methylation by recruiting prokaryotic DAM methyltransferases: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... 1/6
The Department of Biology conducts research and teaching in many subject areas such as ecology, evolutionary biology, organismal biology and molecular biology. A total of approximately 300 people curr
By mapping chromatin accessibility over transposable elements (TEs) across normal hematopoietic cells and the various cell types of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we identified TE subfamilies w...
Thrilled to present our comparative study on the evolution of zygotic genome activation (ZGA)!! 🥚🧬
Amazing PhD work of @campobes.bsky.social together with @fedemantica.bsky.social and many collaborators! @melisupf.bsky.social @crg.eu. Thread below 1/15

Excited to share our new study on CpG islands (CGIs) regulation by transcription factors (TFs)! CGIs drive most transcription initiation with unclear regulation. We find that chromatin-opening TFs are key players—following a surprisingly simple rule. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We have a fully-funded PhD studentship opportunity in my group to study primate-specific gene regulatory networks related to inflammation and DNA damage, in collaboration with @frostlab.bsky.social - please apply or send to promising candidates (UK Home fees eligible only), deadline is March 18th.

A preprint‼️that's bound to ruffle some 🪶 "Widespread DNA off-targeting confounds studies of RNA chromatin occupancy" led by our Micah Goldrich and Louis Delhaye from
Pieter Mestdagh in Ghent. TL;DR we show that many of lncRNA chromatin occupancy obtained are flawed www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
