Our study of TE regulatory co-option in the primate cerebellum is now officially out! Proud to have co-supervised the stellar @tyamadat.bsky.social on this project, which builds on our earlier sequence-to-function AI models of the mammalian cerebellum: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The evolution of gene regulation in mammalian cerebellum development
Gene regulatory changes are considered major drivers of evolutionary innovations, including the cerebellum’s expansion during human evolution, yet they remain largely unexplored. In this study, we com...

Did transposable elements shape brain evolution — and if so, which ones, and in which cell states and lineages? Led by @tyamadat.bsky.social, we explored this question in cerebellum development using sequence-based deep learning models! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is an amazing opportunity for those interested in cerebellum biology. @marisepp.bsky.social is an outstanding scientist and deeply invested in the development of her colleagues.

Interested in the evolution of vertebrate organs and cell types? Then this is a must read review by @margaridamcm.bsky.social Beautifully explaining the interplay between genome changes, selection forces, development and evolution.

The final (and my favorite) chapter of my PhD is now officially published! Extremely grateful to all our collaborators, especially to @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social for their hard work, and to @steinaerts.bsky.social and @kaessmannlab.bsky.social for their guidance and advice!

Thank you to @yaseminsaplakoglu.bsky.social, who wrote a fantastic article for @quantamagazine.bsky.social about our studies on the evolution of the avian pallium. Love it! shorturl.at/vmTLq

Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine
Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes! Check our preprint bit.ly/3XQMFxN + thread ⬇️ 1/11

Excited to share the final chapter of my PhD with @kaessmannlab.bsky.social - started with @marisepp.bsky.social in 2018, reimagined after visiting @steinaerts.bsky.social, with amazing contributions by the brilliant @tyamadat.bsky.social. Extremely grateful to the whole team for this collaboration!
