📢 We are looking for a Junior Group Leader to join us at @institutcurie.bsky.social!
Having joined the department just over a year ago, I can honestly say that it is an exceptionally stimulating and supportive scientific environment, filled with outstanding colleagues — all in the heart of Paris.
"intragenic promoters that we found occur more often on the antisense strands of these genes"
Wow, cool. The compactness of bacterial genomes continues to amaze me.

#Bugsky 🐙🌿 Shared with me by a fof in SoCal - this is a gynandromorph (both male & female) valley carpenter bee (Xylocopa sonorina). Females are black, males orange, so the extreme color dimorphism really stands out. Per Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, bee gynandromorphs he’s seen are mosaic instead—
Our study comparing promoter existence and emergence in random vs genomic DNA is finally published!!!
TLDR: the E. coli genome has more promoters than random DNA (even in intergenic regions), and promoters emerge ~3x more readily from random DNA than genomic DNA. (1/2)
Promoters emerge three times more readily from random DNA than from genomic DNA.www.science.org

with a pretty big crew & @stelkens.bsky.social ! Story started over 20 years ago, fun to jump in late and help wrap it up :)
Abstract. Climate change urges us to better understand and predict evolutionary responses to temperature shifts. Hybridization, by increasing genetic varia
The University of Bern's features the "Treasure Chest project", which uses real-world scenarios to teach stats to bio students. Our collaborator Stephan Peischl @spei.bsky.social connects genetics to epidemiology, bringing statistics to life! Article (in DE) in the link below:
Happy pride month 🏳️🌈
PhD candidate, @lorhab.bsky.social from the group was recently on the radio with Radio Bern (RABE) to talk about the network Queer UniBE, an LGBTQ+ organization for staff at the University of Bern (session starts ~19 minutes, German only):

I feel like I'm in this strange stage in my academic career where I *finally* know so much about my field, but at the same time, every time I'm writing, I'm still discovering amazing papers that I never knew about from the 00's and 10's. Just me?
