Very proud of this work where we define how the MORC2 ATPase directs CpG methylation of active human L1 transposons in early development.

MORC2 directs transcription-dependent CpG methylation of human LINE-1 transposons in early neurodevelopment
Methylation of CpG dinucleotides is essential for silencing genomic repeats such as LINE-1 retrotransposons (L1s) in the germline and soma. Evolutionarily-young L1s are transcribed in human pluripoten...

🤯🤯🤯 Amazing finding!!! Embryonic epithelia eat bacteria!!!
How innate immunity starts? Early embryos eliminate bacterial infections by epithelial phagocytosis, a conserved process from zebrafish to human embryos. Check our story:

Promoter strength and position govern promoter competition
Competition between promoters within a shared regulatory landscape has been implicated in development and disease, but the determinants of promoter competition have not been systematically studied. He...

I am thrilled to share our preprint where we take advantage of the unique opportunities offered by human blastoids to uncover a human-specific mechanism potentially playing a role in preimplantation 🧵. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
