Protocol for efficient CRISPRi-mediated silencing of retrotransposons in human pluripotent stem cells Here, we present a workflow for transcriptional silencing of transposable elements (TEs) in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). We describe steps for designing guide RNAs (gRNAs) to target ...

Are you interested in achieving efficient silencing of transposable elements using CRISPRi? 🧬 🧫
Go ahead and have a look at this STAR protocols where Adami et al. share all the tips & tricks they use in the Jakobsson lab.

Single-cell atlas of striatal cells from early-stage Parkinson's mouse models and Parkinson's patients.

Single-cell atlas of striatal cells from early-stage Parkinson's mouse models and Parkinson's patients.

CRN Teams Cragg & Jakobsson's new #preprint maps the cell-type–specific transcriptional landscape of the parkinsonian striatum in mouse models and human Parkinson's stages, revealing widespread gene expression changes and resilient neuron subtypes amid progressive dopamine loss 🧪

Agnete Kirkeby’s 2025 Edinburgh Parkinson’s Lecture is available online: youtu.be/EtuRHdPX4rc?...
She delivered a masterclass on stem cell therapies for #Parkinsons. A PwP told me : “I was expecting not to understand much, but I understood everything!” @kirkebylab.bsky.social @parkinsons.org.uk

📣 New preprint from the Jakobsson lab!

We describe a detailed protocol to inhibit the expression of transposable elements in human pluripotent stem cells, developed thanks to @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org funding.
Special shoutout to @anitaada.bsky.social!

@raquelgarza.bsky.social from the Jakobsson Lab presented our recent work on single-cell omics (transcriptomics+ proteomics) within our ASAP project at the SciLifeLab Lund day. This work is being done in collaboration with #BioMS and @scilifelab.se. We are looking forward to the discoveries ahead 🌟

🚨 Have a look at our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A highly collaborative effort where we show that transposable elements are directly linked to a cell-type and region specific inflammatory state in Parkinson’s Disease.

Why repetitive DNA matters for human brain evolution and disease Lund University. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism needs to develop and survive, but only about 1.5% of it consists of protein-coding genes that determine traits such as eye col...

🧬 🧠A new Cell Genomics study by researchers at @lunduniversity.bsky.social (@jakobssonlab.bsky.social & @jakobssonasap.bsky.social) shows the non-coding genome is active in early brain development & may be relevant for understanding brain disease.
