First major work fully made in the laboratory is out in @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We found that DNA methylation allows recurrent endogenization of giant virus in a protist🦠 closely related to animals, large scale virus and eukaryotic host genomic mixture.🧵 1/10

Overall, this work sheds new light on the conservation, diversity, and compatibility of DNA methylome remodelling in vertebrates, and finds no evidence for global DNA methylome erasure in teleosts, which has thus far only been conclusively described in mammalian embryos.


1/ Ever wonder about differences between human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and embryonic stem cells (hESC)? Check out our work in @Nature on hiPSC epigenome dynamics and a new reprogramming method which more fully erases hiPSC epigenetic memory nature.com/articles/s4158…
