It is very sad to hear about the passing of Sir John Gurdon. His work reshaped biology and inspired generations to come. I had the chance to meet him in 2019, a brief encounter that left a lasting impression.

I wish I could be there! @denisduboule.bsky.social Any chance those talks would be streamed?

‘Our Ancestors the Fish’, a course by Prof. @neilshubin.bsky.social, Univ of Chicago, invited Prof @college-de-france.fr. in Paris @psl-univ.bsky.social. Four conferences, free access, open to everyone, with Tiktaalik as a guest star. Friends, colleagues and fossils in Paris and around, please RT🥁

How do enhancer-gene contacts relate to transcription activation? In mouse embryonic stem cells, a combo of STED, oligoFISH & RNA FISH shows that 3% of Dppa3 alleles transcribe. For these, enhancers and promoters come closer (panel E). Stumberger ... Leonhardt & Harz www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#Zebrafish genome reference update: it is now "live" on the UCSC genome browser at: genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTr...

I am working on getting it included in the zebrafish genome pull down menu with the previous assemblies but that isn't working yet.

⏳Less than a week to go until the Third International Symposium on Epigenetics in Marine and Aquatic Research — EPIMAR2025! We’re busy finalising preparations and can’t wait to welcome you soon.
