It is with infinite sadness that we learned of the passing of Clarisse Orniacki. She joined @vdoye.bsky.social lab and defended her thesis in December 2022 and pursued her career with a postdoc in‬ @tedfon.bsky.social at McGill University in Montreal . Tribute 🔗 www.ijm.fr/tribute-to-c...

What's happening in the USA 🇺🇸 is terrifying and for European 🇪🇺 scientists this should be a wake up call. Here are my emotional rollercoaster🎢 and my 2 cents 💶. #standupforscience

It’s so exciting to see more and more scientific agencies and institutions joining 🦋 I feel like this is exactly what was missing on other platforms. In my opinion, it will definitely help strengthen the scientific community here! 💪🧬

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our study published today on #bioRxiv describe the identification of a deaminase that converts 5mC to T, enabling direct sequencing of the human methylome and genome. This achievement was made possible through a collaborative effort across all departments at #NEB.

(1st post @BlueSky) Preprint alert🚨a long thread. Cautions in the use of @nanopore sequencing to map DNA modifications: officially reported “accuracy” ≠ reliable mapping in real applications. We performed a critical assessment of nanopore sequencing (across different versions of models) for the 1/n

SOX and POU are crucial Transcription Factors in animal development, believed to be innovations of this group. Here we find them in unicellular relatives of animals. And hold tight, you can use a choanoflagellate 🦠 SOX gene to make a full chimeric 🐁 ! Read more here 🧵: rdcu.be/d0dPN 1/6

I've been meaning to write a lengthy thread about our experiences with DNA methylation editing in mouse ESCs if that would be useful (or interesting?) for a niche audience here. tl;dr: it was frustrating but we learned a lot, and it ended with our shiny new pub (1/17) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
