Beautiful and elegant epigenome editing study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Germline epigenome editing identifies H3K9me3 as a mediator of intergenerational DNA methylation recovery in mice - Nature Communications

The authors develop a system to erase DNA methylation at H19-DMR in mouse sperm. Despite loss, methylation partly recovers via H3K9me3 after fertilization, revealing partial intergenerational epigenet...

Single-cell analysis of a salmonid immune system (brown trout Salmo trutta) reveals evolutionary divergence and hatchery-induced transcriptional reprogramming

Vertebrate immune systems exhibit striking evolutionary diversity, yet our understanding remains biased toward mammalian models. Here, we generate a single-cell atlas of immune cells from the ecologic...

#EPIMAR2025 - beautiful place @Institut de Ciències Del Mar @Barcelona, great people, open community, fascinating research 🧬 🌎 🧪 🥼 🐟 🪸 🌊

That’s a first for me: traveling to @eseb2025.bsky.social by train from Bern together with @cbank.bsky.social. Let’s hope all those connections hold, and I won’t hate myself for saving all that CO2! 🚂 🧪 🧬 ☁️ 🌍

And then there is this preprint @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, one I’m pretty excited about. A single cell sequencing atlas of a salmonid immune system, from brown trout. Weird B-cell/Neutrophil crossover cluster - what do immunologists think? 🐟 🔬 🧬 🦠 🧫 🌎 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals influences of rearing environment on cellular immunity in brown trout (Salmo trutta)

The ability to profile gene expression at the single cell level can offer unprecedented insight into the vertebrate immune system. While such profiling of non-model organisms can present unique challe...

This master student teaches me so much! She’s on the job market. Skills include #ecology #evolution #wildlife #bioinformatics #fieldwork #molecular #labwork and #modeling, an insane amount of curiosity, and an incredible ability to teach herself using available and new resources. >Marion Meli<

First data discussions on the huuuuge experiment that will teach us a lot about inducible variation & heritability. #adaptation #maternal #inheritance #environment #RNAseq #oocyte

My copy arrived last week, and I am loving this book so much so far 😍 it’s “every master student in evolutionary biology should have read this” material.
