How is nuclear architecture reshaped during maternal-to-zygotic transition in mouse embryos? What role does zygotic genome activation play in regulating this reorganization? Find out in our work, out now in Genes & Development! genesdev.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Very happy of this joint work with Marlies Oomen and @job_dekker. Not all species fold exactly the same way and not all loop extruders behave the same regarding CTCF. Mitosis really offers unique opportunities to test and understand key molecular questions. Take a look!

Summer School on Chromatin Biology is back in August at @‌HelmholtzMunich. Start your journey into state-of-the-art chromatin biology with #epigenetics experts @‌robert_ife @metorrespadilla and Aloys Schepers – apply by April 5 for the 2024 student cohort. bit.ly/42b8tFc

It is BACK ! 👇🥳 - following our successful edition in 2022, our Hands-On Summer school is back in 2024- You'll do wet-work - dry work - learn - interact with leaders in the field - and have fun Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich Spaces are limited so apply soon ! 👇

Last week, we hosted the 2nd Science & Networking Event to showcase the outstanding work of postdoctoral researchers Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich! 🙏A big thanks to Aaron Novikoff Marlies Oomen @Mehmet_Goekkaya Johanna Winter & Misako Nakayama for their greats talks!

A new review is online! Marlies Oomen and Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla ME Torres-Padilla Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich discuss roles of transposable element co-option in #genome regulation in the early #embryo, #germline, #placenta and embryonic #stemcells. -> embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

We developed a simple highly-optimized version of 2nd gen Hi-C, called FLIE HI-C, which takes 2 days instead of 4-5, uses 5-20 fold less reagents, and needs only 100-1000 fold less input material. Importantly, we keep all the controls and the interaction map quality is excellent.

Looking for a PhD position? Interested in low-input genomics data and computational approaches? Want to live in Rome?:) Look no further! We are recruiting a dry-lab PhD student through the EMBL PhD program. Details: embl.org/about/info/emb…

Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla Awarded the Leibniz-Preis 2025 🎉 👏 The German Research Foundation (#DFG) recognizes the outstanding research of Prof. Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla with Germany’s most prestigious scientific award: the Gottfried Wilhelm #LeibnizPreis.

Now online! An atlas of transcription initiation reveals regulatory principles of gene and transposable element expression in early mammalian development dlvr.it/THTChb

Very excited that our paper is now online! cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Long thread on our findings on the other app 🦋

Suuuuuuuper excited to see our work on the transcriptional dynamics of TEs across mammalian embryos finally out on Cell ! Short version: from rabbits, to cows, to pigs, to mice and even monkeys... TEs of all classes and ages are transcriptionally activated at ZGA ⚡
