🧬Fascinating new research exploring how transposon activity diverges among polar bear sub-populations living across different climate zones. Curious about genome evolution and climate adaptation? Don’t miss this 👇🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.118… by @AliceGodden & @SimoneImmler

How polar bears' DNA is adapting to warmer climates bbc.in/4oRhdtY

New software: The development of FishPi marks a step forward in studying piRNA interactions with transposable elements. Providing analysis options to support researchers exploring biological roles of piRNAs across genomes. Full article in Mobile DNA: doi.org/10.1186/s13100…

Available here: github.com/alicegodden/fi… More species coming soon, currently has zebrafish, medaka and tilapia fish.

🚨Our new paper @SimoneImmler FishPi: a #bioinformatic prediction tool to link #piRNA and #transposable elements Read now in Mobile DNA >> rdcu.be/d7Jub ✅ Covers many species (more to come) ✅ GUI based software #TESky #zebrafish #transposons @biouea 🐟🥧🥧🥧🥧🥟

🚨Pleased to share our latest preprint on #zebrafish #geneexpression and #transposons in #sperm & #embryos exposed to social stress

🚨 Happy to share my latest preprint on #polarbear #transposon activity in response to diverging climates in #Greenland #TEsky 🐻‍❄🌞❄️🧬👩‍💻

There’s less than a week until tickets for Norwich Science Festival 2025 go live! 🙌🏼 Set your alarms for Thursday, 28 November, at 11am when tickets go on sale at norwichsciencefestival.com and you can pop by @TheForumNorwich to grab your copy of the Festival brochure 🧡

Come see me talk about my polar bear project researching how the warming weather in Greenland is impacting genomes. Info: Norwich Science Festival, the Forum auditorium, Sat' 15th 2025 Feb 2pm, tickets are free and available: norwichsciencefestival.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/sh… @biouea @NorwichSciFest

We have PhD position advertised in evolution of ageing with Tracey Chapman and @SimoneImmler: Please contact me if you have questions about the project or about this PhD programme aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/m…

Understanding how a single cell develops into an entire body is one of biology’s biggest mysteries. New in @CellCellPress: #Zebrahub, a “Google Earth” of embryology, is helping crack the code. Read➡️ czbiohub.org/life-science/z… 🎥 @loicaroyer & @merlin_lange of #CZBiohubSF explain:

We have a fully funded 4 year PhD position available to study transgenerational inheritance of stress responses in C. elegans #Celegans #PhDposition @biouea Start: October 2025 Application deadline: 8th January, 2025 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/r…

Please RT! 🚨4-year PhD position in my lab (Oct 2025 start)🚨 The genomic architecture of adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster Application deadline: Jan 8, 2025 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/g…

Many moons ago I asked @emiliapsantos if she could help me study evo-devo of neural crest using African cichlids for my PhD… and the main results are now published in @MolBioEvol 🎉 doi.org/10.1093/molbev… Thank you @gregverne for joining this chapter of my fishy adventure 🐠

We have a 4-year PhD position in our lab to study RNA splicing regulation in collaboration with @YiliangDing @biouea @alperakaylab @NorwichRNAClub #RNA #Celegans #PhDposition biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/rna-s…

Excellent work led by my colleague Sara Irish- 🐠🌞 🚨Heatwave-Induced Paternal Effects Have Limited AdaptiveBenefits in Offspring 🚨 Read it here: tinyurl.com/yc2ksw3c

I am also incredibly proud of this preprint: Gum Arabic (Acacia senegal) enhances reproduction and modulates the microbiota-gut-brain axis.... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Again a massive team effort by @Ko0L_J_ @asdfjohnny @AliceGodden @JaymeCohenBIO et al!
