Breaking paradigms: Finding 6mA DNA methylation in eukaryotes Francisco Falcon @FcoJFalcon highlights research from @deMendoza_Alex and team on 6mA in eukaryotes. #preprint #preLights 👀⤵️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/ade…

📢 The ATLASea Scientific Advisory Board meeting took place at Maison de l'Océan in Paris over the past 2 days. A big thank you to all SAB members for their active participation, valuable insights, and dedication to advancing the project and to @OceanoMonaco for the meeting room!

@fcamus @SBradshaw26 @andrew_pom Great!

Does 6mA exist in eukaryotic DNA? This is our take on this dispute: yes it does, and can be very abundant, but mostly correlates with presence of the MT-A70 writer AMT1. Then, 6mA is associated with transcriptionally-permissive chromatin (H3K4me3) 1/6: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Dariloops @SEBiolDev Congrats!

I am very honored that the @SEBiolDev has considered me worth of the JL Gomez -Skarmeta award 😲 A huge part of it is because past and present members of my group. They make all of this possible ❤️ Thanks also to institutions and funding agencies👏

Our paper has been published in @NatureComms ! We discovered that light irradiation on sea urchin larvae makes them excrement! This work reveals how light controls the opening of the anus. nature.com/articles/s4146…

How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

@dudin_o Congrats!

Humbled to be part of this amazing Department, Section & University.

@PascualAnaya @Chema_MD @QMUL @MargaridaMCM @deMendoza_Alex You should visit!

@Chema_MD @QMUL @MargaridaMCM @deMendoza_Alex @Ferdix Sounds fun!

🚨Mark your calendars! We are launching the London EvoDevo club, a space to learn great new science, meet new colleagues and have fun! First meeting on Nov the 8th at @QMUL Register now! shorturl.at/34BOj @MargaridaMCM @deMendoza_Alex @Ferdix

@nathalie_feiner Amazing Nathalie!

@StefanoBettina2 @EvolLetters @fcamus @DK_Dowling @Enrique39212520 @MSCActions well done!

🎉New paper out!🎉 @EvolLetters Interested in #mitochondria and how #mitonuclear compatibility shapes fitness in insect populations? Check this out! 🦠🪰 A big thanks to all the authors: @fcamus @DK_Dowling @Enrique39212520 Nick, Marion et al @MSCActions doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Congratulations to @svenja_kling for winning UCSD's art of Science Competition with a photo of a transgenic sea urchin larva! library.ucsd.edu/news-events/20…

Excited to share our work on animal genome structure led by @Tom_Lewin! We assembled a dataset of 64 animal genomes and quantified shuffling rates to provide a comprehensive view of genome evolution across various lineages. 1/3 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Very pleased to welcome our new stem mollusc Shishania aculeata published today in @ScienceMagazine! A great collaboration led by Guangxu Zhang who discovered these amazing fossils with @Xiaoya_Ma and Jakob Vinther. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So its out @GenomeBiology: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…. All you need to know about DNA methylation in annelids🪱! This has been a great collaboration with the @Chema_MD lab, led by @k_guynes. One of the main findings is that the methylome erodes throughout development and beyond! 1/

The ability to regenerate body parts is remarkably common across the animal kingdom. New research finds these powers trace back to shared, ancient genetic roots. scim.ag/7MV
