Enjoy, Lori😷!

great work by a highly talented student - the story of Tirant, well done Flo!

So excited to share the work of my student Luyang Wang in #PLOSGenetics. Adaptive evolution among cytoplasmic piRNA proteins leads to decreased genomic auto-immunity 1/ dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Save the dates ! The International Congress on Transposable Elements goes virtual (vICTE 2020)! Conferences every two weeks on Tuesdays at 6:00 pm CEST, starting September 8 with Vera Gorbunova. Full program here: icte2020.sciencesconf.org #transposon #icte2020 @INSB_CNRS

Excited to see the awesome line up of speakers for CSHL Transposable Elements Virtual Meeting Oct 6 - 9, 2020 CSHL Meetings ! Hopefully Frances Blow also one of them to describe how trichy Trichomonas vaginalis may control its enormous TE burden 🙂 meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…

Excited to share this preprint "Innovation of heterochromatin functions drives rapid evolution of essential ZAD-ZNF genes in Drosophila" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… which is the bulk of the PhD thesis work of Rini Kasinathan, a former University of Washington MSTP student in the lab

MBE and SMBE are delighted to announce that starting from Volume 38, MBE will be fully Open Access! More info can be found here: academic.oup.com/mbe/pages/Open…

Binding of guide piRNA triggers methylation of the unstructured N-terminal region of Aub leading to assembly of the piRNA amplification complex dlvr.it/RbfS6c

Happy to share our new study describing that a small targeting domain in Ty1 integrase is sufficient to direct retrotransposon integration upstream of tRNA genes. Now online@EMBOj. dx.doi.org/10.15252/embj.…

Congratulation to Amna!

“A marathon is kind of a mini-science.” For Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, running a marathon is like doing scientific research. Although the journey may be long and painful, the end goal is always worth the race. Wishing Yamanaka a happy birthday today.

Please RT! 1 week left until the abstract deadline to present at a free virtual symposium on #transposon and #virus research.
