#TECSHA

THREE & A HALF DAYS of transposon stories at Cold Spring Harbor Asia -spectacular venue 😍 #TECSHA

Fantastic talk by @aktast.bsky.social unraveling how RNA binding proteins tame the TE transcriptome, control their exonization and allow for the peaceful co-existence of TE and host genes.
LOVE IT. #TECSHA

Great talk by @emiliebrasset.bsky.social at #TECSHA on the regulation of piRNA production in germline vs somatic compartments of Drosophila ovary. Sophisticated mechanisms have evolved to control different sets of TEs, to the benefit (I think) of both host and TEs.

Always a treat to hear Kathy Burns - keynote speaker at #TECSHA and her groundbreaking work linking L1 retrotransposon activity to cancer. L1 ORF1p expression is a hallmark and a circulating biomarker of many cancers.
