Yesterday, I had the chance to share our last work on ancient mammoth #RNA in front of some of the world leading experts in paleogenetics, #aDNA and other ancient biomolecules, meeting together this week in the first International Conference in Paleogenetics #ICP2026 @palaeogenomics.bsky.social
#ICP2026 @marmole6.bsky.social presenting ancientRNA Talk number 3 beautifully summarizing the young field of paleotranscriptomics and showing off the cool 🦣Mammoth RNA paper we published earlier 💪🏻
#icp2026 Kicks off with exciting program ahead. It will also include some cool #ancientRNA talks by @marcfriedlander.bsky.social, our PhD student Vanessa and @marmole6.bsky.social

DICER cleavage fidelity is governed by 5′-end binding pockets - Nature
Cryo-electron microscopy and massively parallel assays shed light on the mechanism by which DICER, a key enzyme in the RNase III family, cleaves RNA at precise locations to produce small RNAs.

I just got back a review for one of my stuck-in-revision papers so full of em dashes, like literally present in every other sentence, but also so politely hatefull in tone that it must have been written by some angry beta soviet mother version of all AIs joined together.

The rise of historical epigenomics and temporal analysis of gene regulation - Genome Biology
Complex diseases driven by gene-environment interactions impose a heavy burden on human and animal health. Addressing these challenges requires innovative research. The emerging field of historical epigenomics offers a promising opportunity to link genotypes with phenotypes using preserved biological material. New methods such as historical chromatin profiling in museum specimens provide valuable insights into vertebrate genome regulation. Building on successful work with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, we expect growing interest in using historical specimens for biomedical, evolutionary, and ecological research. Applied to historical collections, these tools can provide critical baselines for understanding modern diseases, environmental stressors, and human adaptation.
