📢 The ATLASea Scientific Advisory Board meeting took place at Maison de l'Océan in Paris over the past 2 days.
A big thank you to all SAB members for their active participation, valuable insights, and dedication to advancing the project and to @OceanoMonaco for the meeting room!

Does 6mA exist in eukaryotic DNA? This is our take on this dispute: yes it does, and can be very abundant, but mostly correlates with presence of the MT-A70 writer AMT1. Then, 6mA is associated with transcriptionally-permissive chromatin (H3K4me3) 1/6: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our paper has been published in @NatureComms ! We discovered that light irradiation on sea urchin larvae makes them excrement! This work reveals how light controls the opening of the anus.

How do organisms evolve new traits and behaviors? In @AnnualReviews, @wendyssae surveys major sensory receptor families to uncover evolutionary patterns of sensation driving diversification and speciation.

Excited to share our work on animal genome structure led by @Tom_Lewin! We assembled a dataset of 64 animal genomes and quantified shuffling rates to provide a comprehensive view of genome evolution across various lineages. 1/3

So its out @GenomeBiology: genomebiology.biomedcentral.…. All you need to know about DNA methylation in annelids🪱! This has been a great collaboration with the @Chema_MD lab, led by @k_guynes. One of the main findings is that the methylome erodes throughout development and beyond! 1/

The ability to regenerate body parts is remarkably common across the animal kingdom. New research finds these powers trace back to shared, ancient genetic roots. scim.ag/7MV

Brittle stars, a class of echinoderms, have long intrigued scientists due to their ecological significance. A ground-breaking new study by colleagues in the Division of Biosciences looks at how they evolve and regenerate. Read more: ucl.ac.uk/biosciences/news/2…

Paul Watson, fondateur de Sea Shepherd, a été arrêté au Groenland et menacé d’extradition vers le Japon.
Son tort ? Lutter fermement contre l'illégale et immorale chasse à la baleine.
J'appelle la France à peser diplomatiquement pour sa libération.
So happy to see our brittle star genome led by 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘆 finally published in @NatureEcoEvo highlighting the evolution of echinoderm chromosomes as well as the origin of the regeneration programm nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
