Check out this study in @ScienceAdvances by @deMendoza_Alex team, they discovered "Genomic incorporation of giant viruses is regulated by DNA methylation in unicellular eukaryotes. This bridges epigenetic regulation with deep eukaryotic evolution" science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚀 Exciting news! After 7 incredible years at @QMBCI, our lab is moving to @BiochemOxford this September! We'll miss our amazing Barts friends but are thrilled to join brilliant new colleagues at Oxford. 🧬🔬 I’m also very honoured to join Brasenose College as a senior fellow!🎓

🧵Excited to share our latest work, where we investigated how plants use DNA methylation to adapt to naturally fluctuating light regimes. Work led by the amazing @RobynAEmm and co-lead with @DrTracyLawson. great collab with @bechtis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @ResearchEssex 1/n

I´m thrilled to see our #LRGASP paper published in @naturemethods today. This is the work of many to benchmark long-read methods for transcriptomics, and a must-read paper for those using lrRNA-seq. Special thnks to @FJPardoPalacios and @TheBrooksLab (1/6)

@frcbs_Tsinghua Looks like interesting work, but unfortunately completely neglected work by @PradeepMadapura's team, who last year demonstrated that LINE-1s act as distal regulatory elements: nature.com/articles/s4159…

This Sunday, June 2nd, I'll be at #eshg2024 in Berlin presenting poster about this. If you're around and want to have a chat, come see me at poster P17.072.A! Feedback extremely welcome ☺️☺️

New paper alert! The RNA ribosomal components are so essential that they appear as tons of back to back copies in the genome, which makes them really hard to analyse, so have been mostly ignored. But does it matter how many copies one has? A thread (1/9) cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Forgot to say I'll be at the @Londonomics_net symposium this next Monday (May, 20th) giving a short talk about this work, in case you want to chat about it :)

Thanks to @Barts_Charity, @RosetreesT, and @BBSRC for funding, colleagues at @QMULepigenetics, @blizard_inst, and @QMUL for feedback, and to @CellGenomics for a great publishing experience. And of course to the participants of the @uk_biobank, an unmatched resource.

One interesting implication is that if rDNA genetic (and epigenetic) variation is ignored, then the associated phenotypes may seem to result from 'intangible variation' (rDNA variation occurs even in inbred mice).

Super excited about our new paper on human Ribosomal DNA copy number (rDNA CN) in Cell Genomics!
