❓Can a father’s environmental exposures before conception influence their offspring?

We systematically tackled this - identifying effects of paternal age, environment and genetics on early embryos - as well as confounding influences

Very happy to have contributed to this review on "non-CG" #methylation in animals now out in @natgenet.nature.com. Working again with @obog.bsky.social and Tirsa is always a pleasure. We think this not so well studied form of methylation should be more widely considered, please read: rdcu.be/eFAEk

Cholangiocytes contribute to hepatocyte regeneration after partial liver injury during growth spurt in zebrafish - Nature Communications

During partial liver injury in growing zebrafish, cholangiocytes regenerate hepatocytes through transdifferentiation, revealing a stage-specific regeneration mechanism regulated by mTORC1 signaling.

Sequence-alignment is not the best way to detect conserved cis-regulatory elements?
Tobi Zehnder from Vingron-Lab developed #IPP a synteny based algorithm with @ferencmueller.bsky.social, @borislenhard.bsky.social& @da-bar.bsky.social
We used it to find conserved enhancers with diverged sequences

This marks a return to NMD research for me. NMD detects early stop codons but we need to find the true stop!

So excited that our latest work is out! We have been working to understand how damaged tissue exits regeneration and returns to normal gene expression, and found a major role for the pioneer transcription factor Zelda in flies. Kudos to @anishbose.bsky.social @keatonschuster.bsky.social et al!

The pioneer transcription factor Zelda controls the exit from regeneration and restoration of patterning in Drosophila

The pioneer factor Zelda activates a specific set of developmental and structural genes to end tissue regeneration.
