Transposon and Cancer Epigenetics Group @deniz-lab.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Delighted to share our first preprint of the lab! We introduce TEgment, a new RNA-seq pipeline that classifies TE expression into distinct structural modalities, distinguishing functional TE activity from transcriptional noise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

TEgment dissects transposable element reactivation upon CDK9 inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia
Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibition represents a promising therapeutic strategy in cancers that disrupts RNA polymerase II pause release and collapses oncogenic transcripts. Here, we show that...

How does the ORF1p perform its multiple functions to facilitate LINE1 retrotransposition? And what enables its ability to also facilitate replication of other retrotransposons? Find out in our newly published paper in Nucleic Acids Research doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

L1-ORF1p nucleoprotein can rapidly assume distinct conformations and simultaneously bind more than one nucleic acid
Abstract. LINE-1 (L1) is a parasitic retrotransposable DNA element, active in primates for the last 80–120 Myr. L1 has generated nearly one-third of the hu
