A little late to share, but still thrilled 🤗!
What started as two independent stories, one in Clermont-Ferrand (@igred.fr) and one in Cambridge (Hannon’s group @cruk-mi.bsky.social ), turned into a joint adventure to decode how Rhino picks its favorite piRNA clusters.
When forces unite…

New online: Binding of heterochromatin protein Rhino to a subset of piRNA clusters depends on a combination of two histone marks

Binding of heterochromatin protein Rhino to a subset of piRNA clusters depends on a combination of two histone marks

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 17 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41594-025-01584-8The authors reveal that, in fruit fly ovaries, the protein Rhino is guided to specific regions of the genome by a combination of two histone modifications, enhancing understanding of how cells protect their DNA from harmful virus-like elements.

The fascinating work spearheaded by Kirsten Senti on the diversification and adaptation of endogenous retroviruses in the host gonad 'ecosystem'' is officially published.

Institute of Molecular Biotechnology @imbavienna.bsky.social · Jun 16

🚨📢 New paper alert!
A study led by Kirsten Senti and Julius Brennecke offers new insights into how ancient endogenous retroviruses diversified to exploit different cell “niches” in the fruit fly ovary, and how the host’s defenses adapted in return. https://imba.science/Brennecke_EMBOJ

Grateful for the support I have received at @cruk-ci.bsky.social and over the past five years in the Hannon lab.

Susanne Bornelöv @susbo.bsky.social · Mar 9

📣 I'm excited to share that the Bornelöv lab will relocate to the Dept of Biochemistry from April. We will continue to advance our understanding of RNA biology using AI and data-driven methods. Looking forward to new exciting collaborations and inspiration! 🥳🎈🧬🤖 @cambiochem.bsky.social
