New technology reveals hidden DNA scaffolding built before life ‘switches on.’ Understanding this 3D organisation is critical as its failure can lead to developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer. @vaquerizasjm.bsky.social @nmaziak.bsky.social @imperialmed.bsky.social @mrc-lms.bsky.social

New LMS research shows for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic precursors of these cells uniquely reshape the 3D organisation of their genetic material.

#OnThisDay in 1826, the first paper to be written by a woman was read at a Royal Society meeting. The paper, by noted polymath Mary Somerville, was read at the meeting by her husband, as she wasn't permitted to attend. https://bit.ly/2A3Cj2N

🌊 New postdoctoral positions opening soon!   🌍The new year comes with exciting opportunities for early-career researchers in ocean science.   📢 Further details on the call and fellowship conditions will be published by the end of January. Stay tuned 👉https://www.icm.csic.es/en/job-offers

🌊 This week we hosted our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)! 🔬The international panel has concluded its review of ICM's progress, research hubs, and societal impact. 🚀 They also delivered key recommendations for our 2025-2028 Strategic Plan and Vision 2030. 🙏 Thank you for your guidance!

It is very sad to hear about the passing of Sir John Gurdon. His work reshaped biology and inspired generations to come. I had the chance to meet him in 2019, a brief encounter that left a lasting impression.

How do enhancer-gene contacts relate to transcription activation? In mouse embryonic stem cells, a combo of STED, oligoFISH & RNA FISH shows that 3% of Dppa3 alleles transcribe. For these, enhancers and promoters come closer (panel E). Stumberger ... Leonhardt & Harz www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
