L’art délicat de faire taire les gènes

Le développement embryonnaire ne requiert pas uniquement l’activation des gènes, mais également une régulation fine de leur répression.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

We had #four interdisciplinary teams, integrating dev-bio, evolution, tissue mechanics, and biophysical modeling, all going full throttle to understand the #CF. Still, it took more than 7 years to publish two papers back-to-back (10/12)

It was a great meeting. I hope we can do it again in 2 years. #EMBLsinglemolecule. Single mol omics and imaging is very promising combo to dissect gene regulation.

#EMBLsinglemolecule was a blast! Happy to host the birth of single molecule genomics as a field and to think about the future with the microscopy crowd. Thanks to participants and organizers!

🍪 Taking a breather at 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time' — where the science is complex, but the coffee is simple (and much needed!).
From single-molecule insights to lively hallway conversations, it's clear: breakthroughs happen both in the lab and over lattes. ☕🧬

Mid-morning means one thing: coffee break – and an informal Meet the Speaker session!

Attendees had the chance to chat casually with the presenters and ask follow-up questions. Great vibes, great coffee, and even better discussions!
