Please RP! Excited to share our new preprint: “Single-cell chromatin tracing reveals multimodal molecular programs during memory formation” We built a single-cell multiomic atlas of aversive learning and used it to trace memory-linked molecular programs. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Reminder: PhD position in my lab is open for two more weeks. How do germ cells use their own private transcription factors? Come help us find out. Fully funded. Deadline May 1. Flyer attached — please boost! 🙏
Flyer for a PhD position in the Andersen Lab on Genetic Innovation at Aarhus University, Denmark. Title: "Transcriptional regulation in Drosophila germline development." Start date between August 2026 and January 2027, application deadline May 1, 2026. The flyer describes a project on germline-specific transcription factor paralogs, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation (PARAGLIDE programme). Includes example data figures: genomics browser tracks, a proximity-labeling proteomics volcano plot, and fluorescence microscopy of germline tissue. Contact: pra@mbg.au.dk. Apply via phd.nat.au.dk.

Our latest preprint is out, focusing on characterizing the response of Lhx6-positive neurons of the zona incerta (ZI) to naturally-occurring and experimentally-induced changes in the need to sleep, also known as sleep pressure. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
biorxiv.org
Sleep pressure is differentially regulated by molecularly distinct subtypes of Lhx6-positive and Lhx6-negative neurons of the zona incerta
Sleep pressure, the accumulating drive towards sleep during wakefulness, is shaped by Lhx6-positive GABAergic neurons in the zona incerta (ZI). Here, we show that these neurons are broadly activated b...

New collaborative study out with Mark Wu’s group identifies a thalamic reuniens-zona incerta circuit as both responsive to induced sleep deprivation and essential for mediating recovery sleep. Further perspective on this work follows./1 www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Sleep need–dependent plasticity of a thalamic circuit promotes homeostatic recovery sleep
Prolonged wakefulness leads to persistent, deep recovery sleep (RS). However, the neuronal circuits that mediate this process remain elusive. From a circuit screen in mice, we identified a group of th...
