What an inspiring day at our second annual conference 2026! It was fantastic to bring together internationally recognised speakers, researchers, and students from the UK and beyond to share the latest advances in epigenetics.

Our next guest speaker webinar is happening on Friday, 12th June, 15:30-16:30pm BST. Madzia Crossley, will be giving a talk on ''Distinct mechanisms generate immunogenic cytoplasmic RNA-DNA hybrids as signals of transcriptional dysregulation'' Follow this link to join: www.qmul.ac.uk/epigenetics/...

Capolavoro 🎨 alert 🚨! What is the role of gene body methylation in invertebrates? Despite extensive speculation linking it to plasticity and environmental responses, its mechanistic effects and heritability remain unclear. Our take out in @natecoevo.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

Gene body methylation suppresses intragenic transcription and permits epigenetic inheritance in a cnidarian - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Experiments in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis show a role of gene body methylation in transposable element suppression and that epigenetic inheritance is constrained by chromatin context and tra...

Out today, our take on 6-methyladenine #6mA evolution in Eukaryotes @natgenet.nature.com. We asked a simple question, is really DNA 6mA common across the eukaryotes? The answer is "yes" if you're a unicellular eukaryote 🦠, not so if you're multicellular 🐝🌱🍄. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9

Adenine DNA methylation associated with transcriptionally permissive chromatin is widespread across eukaryotes - Nature Genetics

Long-read sequencing in 18 unicellular eukaryotes reveals that 6mA is widespread across eukaryotes and is enriched at transcriptionally permissive regions, which are also marked by H3K4me3.

Together with Chris Bell and Alexander Dawson, we are recruiting an PhD student (LIDo iCASE) at @qmulepigenetics.bsky.social to work on using long read nanopore technology to investigate DNA methylation on native DNA. This is a joint project with ONT. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
