DFAM (database of transposable elements) 3.9 is out! A lot of cool new stuff and a special update for Drosophila melanogaster... 1/2 #Transposon #DFAM

REPET got a complete overhaul in version 4.0 ! Etienne Bardet from @urgi-inrae.bsky.social presents the updates in #PAG32

After @tehub.bsky.social satellite workshop at #ICTE2024 and the creation of a working group on benchmark, what about the next step ? A manual curation workshop ? Share your thougth with the TEhub

@johannconfais.bsky.social and @clementgoubert.bsky.social are presenting @tehub.bsky.social at #PAG2025, an amazing resource and driven community for anyone interested in transposable element

If you're at #PAG32, do yourself a favor and attend Clément's talks on Transposable Elements / polymorphism detection.

Double trouble: two retrotransposons triggered a cascade of invasions in Drosophila species within the last 50 years - Nature Communications Horizontal transfer of genetic material in eukaryotes has rarely been documented over short evolutionary timescales. Here, the authors show that two transposable elements, Shellder and Spoink, invaded...

This collaboration was such a pleasure. Our new paper on cascades of HT after introduction of two TEs to human commensals

Scraping who is on the platform working on #TransposableElements or other types of #RepetitiveDNA

Have fun!

When it rains it pours! Another cool story of horizontal transposon transfer! 🧬➰🧬

Welcome @repeatmasker.bsky.social @dfam.bsky.social !!! #TEsky

Great opportunity of Postdoc in the field or repetitive DNA and genetic variation!

Excited to announce a Wellcome Trust funded *8-year* Senior position in the Transposon group: Understanding the role of locus-specific Transposons expression in cell fate decision. TEworldwide.

Did you ever wondered how "jumping genes" actually jump? 2 papers now published in Nature show the 3D structure of the enzyme responsible for this process for human LINE-1 retrotransposon (links 👇). Congrats to the authors!

Post by Ilya Kirov about PhD position sharing in the TE field

Great initiative by Ilya Kirov to make PhD positions in the transposon / mobile genome field easier to share and find.

Here is a link to the google table he created for this:
