🚨Application for the MPI-IE international PhD program is ongoing🚨
If you are interested in #epigenetics #genomics #cellbiology #devbio & more, apply before February 6th!
My lab will recruit a student to work on the contribution of #transposable elements in development and disease 🧬🦠
🎓 Congratulations to @sianalarue.bsky.social who successfully defended her PhD on the role of #transposable elements 🧬 in driving phenotypic plasticity in flies last Friday. We also thank the jury members for an exciting discussion! 👏
The study published in Horticulture Research, analyzed natural and resynthesized B. napus lines to reveal how captured gene fragments are redistributed across the genome, shaped by changes in DNA methylation and small RNA pathways.

Cool talk by Anna Maria Langmüller (AU) on inferring #selection on #transposable #elements - where experimental evolution joins forces with machine learning to uncover how these genomic hitchhikers evolve.

Description: The demographic history of Arabidopsis lyrata Source: Figure from the original study
Can positive selection help spread #transposable elements (TEs)? 🌱 In A. lyrata, redundant TEs near #genes are expected to be #purified. But if linked to #imprinted genes, even silenced TEs can fixate and spread!
