This is a MUST read by @CedricFeschotte - doi.org/10.1146/annurev-gene… very inspiring, great summaries, both for the new comers to the transposable elements field - as well as for those of us not so new in need of 'refreshing' 😉

A Field Guide to Eukaryotic Transposable Elements

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes. Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of nearly all eukaryotic...

📰 A new @ScienceMagazine paper from @t_rayon, @briscoejames and team has found how protein turnover is key to the speed of embryonic development. They’ve found that this happens twice as fast in mouse cells compared to human cells. ⏱️ crick.ac.uk/news/2020-09-18_…

Uncovering the clock that sets the speed of embryo development

Why do pregnancies last longer in some species than others? Crick researchers have found the clock that sets the speed of embryonic development and discovered the mechanism is based on how proteins...
