Congratulations to @nmaziak.bsky.social, @vaquerizasjm.bsky.social et al: Pico-C (low-input Micro-C) shows 3D genome architecture reorganises before major zygotic genome activation in Drosophila, with early loop formation and stronger insulation. @natgenet.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Three-dimensional genome reorganization foreshadows zygotic genome activation in Drosophila - Nature Genetics

Pico-C, a low-input Micro-C approach, reveals that dynamic three-dimensional genome folding precedes zygotic genome activation in Drosophila.

JASPAR 2026 is out 🎉 The new release massively expands the TF motif collections and adds a dedicated DeepLearning collection of motifs learned from deep learning models. Database: jaspar.elixir.no Paper (NAR): doi.org/10.1093/nar/... 🧵1/2

How do new centromeres evolve while staying compatible with the division machinery? Discover it in our new Nature paper! We show centromeres transition gradually via a mix of drift, selection, and sex, reaching new states that still work with the kinetochore. 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09779-1

Congrats on the amazing work @jgahan.bsky.social and the team!

James Gahan@jgahan.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Very happy to see our paper published online natcomms.nature.com. Thank you to @wellcometrust.bsky.social for funding this work during my time with @robklose.bsky.social and David Booth! Thanks also to collaborators @garcialabms.bsky.social @alexdemendoza.bsky.social and the other authors!

I am very proud to see @kkajan.bsky.social and Marta Bosnjakovic from my group presenting their exciting results obtained from #CAGE data! #CroAGE #nextGenerationEU

CroAGE Project@croage.bsky.social · 11mo ago

🚀 Exciting update! Proud to share that our team members @kkajan.bsky.social and Marta Bošnjaković presented their research at the Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Aug 26–30! #cshlmoet 🎤🧬 Thank you #nextGenerationEU for the opportunity!

To recognise and celebrate @svobodalab.bsky.social's pivotal contribution to Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science, #TCTeAC, I am starting this "What Petr Svoboda did at Woodstock?" thread. If you were there - #contribute and #retweet. "Petr Didn’t Submit an Abstract. #TCTeAC Submitted to Him."

Do we really need large language models to tell us that the germline residue is the optimal one? One of the questions Charlotte Dean tackled in her talk at #ISMBECCB2025, and how she and her team addressed the problem of germline bias in antibody target prediction 🧬🔬💻🤖

Today marks the start of the #RegSys @iscb-regsys.bsky.social track at ##ISMBECCB2025! Very much looking forward to listening to the exciting science that will be presented. Join us in room 11BC today and tomorrow.

🚨 We're hiring! NCMBM @ncmbm.bsky.social is looking for 2 new group leaders to join our vibrant research community. Ready to build your own group with strong support and a solid startup package? Interested and attending #ISMBECCB2025? Let’s connect! 🔗 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Day 3 of #ISMBECCB2025 started with an excellent talk from @jameszou.bsky.social which presented how AI can form virtual labs to discuss problems, how can AI reanalyse research data to get new biological results, and how we can interpret complex AI predictions 💻🤖

Today's keynote at #ISMBECCB2025 Amos Bairoch talking about 45 years of data curation #swissProt #cellosaurus

Eagerly waiting for the start of #ISMBECCB2025 with @croage.bsky.social team, @kkajan.bsky.social, Marta and Ira, with the great company of @damlaob.bsky.social and @ferenckata.bsky.social for a keynote talk from John Jumper 🧬🔬

Meet our team! 👨‍🔬 Dr. Damir Baranašić – Project Leader @da-bar.bsky.social 🔬 Dr. Matija Piškorc – Research Associate 👩‍🔬 Dr. Katarina Kajan – Postdoc @kkajan.bsky.social 🧬 Marta Bošnjaković & Ira Renko – PhD candidates

Using cutting-edge technologies like CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) and AI-driven algorithms, we aim to develop tools to explore promoter architecture & identify novel antitumor targets.
