We are looking for a post-doc to join us in Oxford @biology.ox.ac.uk to study epigenetic inheritance! The project will use Cut&Run and RNA-seq to map and track new epimutations as they arise in Drosophila populations across multiple generations. Feel free to share!

Lovely elegant study on the role of Blimp1 in postnatal uterine remodelling. Congratulations Marilena rdcu.be/d8pF2
The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse
Nature Communications - The uterus undergoes successive rounds of pregnancy associated tissue remodelling. Here they show that Blimp1/PRDM1 activity is required in the uterine stroma during both...
