Dear TE family, it is time! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ The early-bird registration ends January 15th already! Abstract for talks ends February 15th! Start procrastinating by doing something useful: register to #icte2024 ! See you soon! #transposon

Out today in Nature Biotechnology! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… Martin Lercher

A dual histone code specifies the binding of heterochromatin protein Rhino to a subset of piRNA source loci biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_molbio

Our paper elucidating the process by which chromatin orchestrates non-coding RNA transcription for small RNA-chromatin communication has been officially published online in eLife! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal #Tetrahymena #ciliate

Really awesome paper by the Hannon lab showing dual H3K27me3/K9me3 at transposons and linking it to piRNA production! Cool parallels with DuharcourtLab work in paramecium!

Hi! Only two more weeks to register for #ICTE2024 & to submit an abstract for a talk on one of the different topics below: 1) TEs, genome evolution and adaptation 2) TEs in health and disease 3) TE control & epigenetics 4) Transposition mechanisms and applications See you soon!

Happy to share our last work: "Alternative silencing states of Transposable Elements in Arabidopsis" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨‼️postdoc positions available‼️🚨 If you’re interested in #microtubules and #neurons and you want to work within a friendly but ambitious team in the city of lights, then apply now! #drosophila #microscopy Institut Jacques Monod Fondation Bettencourt Schueller CNRS 🌍

Happy to share our review dx.doi.org/10.1002/wrna.1… we highlight the similarities and differences between ciliates and other eukaryotes in small-RNA-directed chromatin silencing. Institut Jacques Monod CNRS Biologie @toma_bln Danny Holoch

Brilliant keynote by Sandra DuharcourtLab on the extraordinary epigenetic gymnastics of TE DNA elimination in ciliates. So much good science at #ICTE2024 it’s guaranteed to send me back home with no brain left 🤯🤯🤯

#ICTE2024 congrats to the three poster winners: @clementgoubert , @toma_bln and Victor Billon!
