Grammar matters! @RefriedEctoderm provides a fabulous overview of our recent enhancer grammar preprint. The work of talented grad students. Well done Ben Song and Michelle Franc Ragsac 🇵🇭🇺🇸!

For #WomensHistoryMonth, we salute outstanding scientists in biotech. We recognize Alexis Komor, whose research aims to develop new lab-based strategies and systems to study how mutations in DNA repair genes affect enzymatic activity, cellular function and ultimately human health

Looking forward to working with students Feaster Charter CVESD to learn more about how our genomes encode the instructions to make limbs and sharing the joy of STEM with the girls and indeed all students at this amazing middle school. #InternationalWomansDay

Let's dance! Featured on the cover of this week's Science Magazine, @UCSandiego Biological Sciences Professor James Nieh and colleagues report the discovery of social learning in the honey bee's "waggle dance." go.ucsd.edu/3FbYxkq

Just two weeks left until the abstract submission deadline for the 2023 Weinstein Cardiovascular Development and Regeneration Conference! Submit your abstract by March 23 - lots of oral presentation opportunities for students, postdocs, and junior faculty!

Very proud to see this work from my first two graduate students published. Well done Ben and Michelle!

Spent some time Paradise Point today, walking through the plans for our conference. A lovely view from our coffee break terrace on this sunny, breezy afternoon!

The Goyal lab is looking for postdocs! Yogesh was my first scientific mentor when I was an undergrad and he was a grad student. I absolutely wouldn’t be in science without his mentorship (still continued to now after 6 years!) and I highly highly recommend working with him 😊

So happy to see this in print. Congratulations Granton Jindal

Big thanks to @EKfarley and authors alexis (not a Lexus) Joe Solvason @KlieAdam Kelly Frazer and those not on Twitter. Also, thanks to funding support from Hartwell Postdoctoral Fellowship, AHA Postdoctoral fellowship, UCSD Cardiology NIH T32, and UCSD CRES.

From Fish to Mammals: Unraveling Brachyury Control in the Notochord by @aburger2009 & Zbynek Kozmik, w/Emma Farley 🇪🇺 TheYunLab @AxelVisel.bsky.social Marco Osterwalder Licia Selleri @FishEvoDevoGeno & teams is now out in nature.com/articles/s4146… Wonderful collaboration. Happy to be part of it!

Please spread the word: a PhD position to dig into the origin of neurons by characterising ctenophore neuropeptides! Involves work with cool marine animals😉! Deadline - January 8. University of Bristol Biological Sciences findaphd.com/phds/project/f…

Wrote a 1-pager for Nature Reviews Genetics on how we should stop pretending transcription factor binding sites are a discrete entity. Just like a cup exists in many states between "full" and "empty", TFBSs are continuous. rdcu.be/dzL8o - feat. sweet new paper from Emma Farley 🇪🇺

Don't miss the deadline, this coming Monday (June 3rd) to submit an abstract for the Transcription & Chromatin meeting EMBL. 50% of speakers are selected from the abstracts. This is always a very lively conference, on site EMBL Heidelberg Check out the great line up of speakers

And thats a wrap on our webinar series for the academic year. We are looking forward to starting the next series in September with a line up including Yael David , Emma Farley 🇪🇺 & Heard_Lab. Please keep an eye out for our new website & linkedin that will be launching shortly!

🧵1/7 Excited to share my paper "Optimization of the Irf8 +32-kb enhancer disrupts dendritic cell lineage segregation" out today Nature Immunology! Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4159….

A thread on some of the fascinating noncoding genetic discoveries from 2024. I've written long form posts and discussed on The Genetics Podcast about these stories. I'll share links to all below with a brief summary.
