You still have time to register. Deadline extension to Monday 19th February! Come and join us in Hinxton for some lab and computational work on low-input epigenomics. We'll share our science and have some fun at the local pub ;)

Very happy to have shared the PhD journey with so many wonderful colleagues and friends @vaquerizas_lab ! Thank you for your support and guidance along the way @vaquerizasjm
Benjamín defended his PhD thesis on Wednesday! Although we couldn't all be there to celebrate in person, we're all super proud. Congratulations, Dr @bhernanr!!

The comprehensive atlas of developmental regulatory elements in zebrafish is published today in @NatureGenet nature.com/articles/s41588-0…. In addition to the BioRxiv submission xitter.cf/daniocode/status/14253… in this paper we added further resources and results. (1/n)
DANIO-CODE is proud to share our findings and a huge multi-genomics resource on the regulatory elements in the development of #zebrafish. We analyzed 1,802 previously (un)published sequencing data sets across 38 developing stages and 21 assay types. (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

If you're interested in #TransposableElement regulation, check out the latest work from @SalvadorAznar3 and @AAvgustinova In brief, endogenous retrovirus misregulation due to G9a loss in the mammary gland trigger inflammatory response and impairs normal mammary gland development
🧬#IRBBarcelona scientists led by @SalvadorAznar3 identify that the expression of ancestral fragments of viral DNA results in a strong inflammatory response & causes breast tissue dysfunction. 📰@CellStemCell ➡️bit.ly/3hyWeNF #IRBScience 🧵👇

Congratulations!!!
We started the this project with the ambitious goal of studying how the germ line links generations at the beginning of life. Now I like to think that goal is achieved and we better understand how the germ line forms. Great thanks to all co-authors

Working in big and small collaborations, we see a strong need to combine the description of sequencing experimental designs and data to support the (re)usability of data and their sharing.
