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 ...

LINE-1 retrotransposons mediate cis-acting transcriptional control in human pluripotent stem cells and regulate early brain development
Adami et al. demonstrate that evolutionarily young L1s are expressed in human pluripotent stem cells and are dynamically regulated throughout neural differentiation. The study examines the role of L1s...

Beyond excited to share that I have received a Travel and Merit Award for the ISSCR 2025 Annual Meeting in Hong Kong. I will present our latest work on the role of LINE-1s in human pluripotency and early brain development (preprint alert: doi.org/10.1101/2025...). I hope to see you there! 🌺

In this paper, CRN Team @jacksonlab.bsky.social found that LINE-1 transposable elements contribute to the complexity of the transcriptome in human pluripotent stem cells by acting as alternative promoters for approximately 100 genes. Check out the full #preprint: shorturl.at/TJ9BK

Read this preprint today from @jakobssonlab.bsky.social lab that profiles and CRISPRi perturbs L1 transcription in hiPSCs and cerebral organoids. It is extremely well done. The L1 CRISPRi phenotype in the organoids is subtle and variable but interesting. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #TEsky

LINE-1 retrotransposons regulate the exit of human pluripotency and early brain development
Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (L1) retrotransposons represent a vast source of divergent genetic information. However, mechanistic analysis of whether and how L1s contribute to human development...

We profiled the effects of our CRISPRi system targeting young L1 elements in human pluripotency & brain development. These elements deeply impact our transcriptome, but also have very distinct effects on their nearby genome. Check it out!! 🧬👾 #TEsky #CRISPR #L1 #development #epigenetics

Profiling and targeting young L1s is no easy matter 🧐 check out our new preprint to see how we delve into transcriptional and epigenomic profiling of L1s, and investigate their involvement in pluripotency and early brain development 🧠
