I’m sad to miss it, but looks like it will be awesome!

🧬 We've known for years that a father's diet, stress, and environment can affect his children's risk for disease. New research by @upasnasharma.bsky.social reveals a molecular mechanism for this epigenetic inheritance in a small RNA molecule delivered by sperm: news.ucsc.edu/2026/01/tiny...

🧪 Finally!!! A single-cell atlas of the mouse seminal vesicle!!! (seriously though, it just might be the last major mammalian organ to undergo single cell sequencing). Check it out! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40036847/#fu... @arturmansl.bsky.social @anashin.bsky.social @epididymosome.bsky.social
a scatter plot showing the relationships between all the cells sequenced from the adult mouse seminal vesicle. major cell groupings include the secretory epithelium, basal cells, stroma, macrophages, and endothelial cells, among others.

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬 But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯 Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇
