How did humans loose our tails? ~25 million years ago, a monkey in Africa had a random mutation due to transposable elements (TEs) - pieces of DNA that can copy themselves in the human genome. An Alu element was inserted into the intron of the TBXT gene, producing alternative

Only one team could progress to the next round... 🇯🇵🇸🇳 #BeachSoccerWC

We are thrilled to share our study on the role of cellular #senescence in #diabetic macular edema and clinical data for the first #senolytic developed for the eye . Congrats @SerCresGar and @UnityBiotech! @UMontreal @NatureMedicine @CellSenResearch https://t.co/8p60afLoko

Excited to share our recent study in @CellCellPress led by @GiuseppeLeuzzi_ on the dual role of the DNA translocase SMARCAL1 in regulating innate immune signaling and the expression of the PD-L1 immune checkpoint factor! https://t.co/TCsq0f0XYo

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being perfect, I have to award this eagle with a 12. 😃 If you ever wanted to see a perfect example of an eagle’s ability to fly, grab a fish and eat it in mid air, I think this is it. What would you give this eagle on a scale of 1-10?

Excited to share: "CRISPRmap: Sequencing-free optical pooled screens mapping multi-omic phenotypes in cells and tissue". We applied our novel approach in wonderful collaborations with @CicciaAlberto, @DrEdmondChan, @elhamazizi, and @landau_lab. https://t.co/ucvRawmLdz

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

Wow. Wow. Wow. Incredible powerful message (incredible speech writing)—to those who stumbled on the wrong path and may ruin their future for not knowing the past. The weight of history

Immensely proud to share our four papers on #SingleCell dissection of #Alzheimers Disease coming out in @CellCellPress today, reporting 2.3M #scRNA profiles and 850k #scATAC profiles across 427 post-mortem human brain samples from AD and non-AD donors in a wonderful

Genes associated with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders are identified using CRISPR screening in human forebrain assembloids. #NBThighlight https://t.co/qfRsPXffQV

Svetlana Mojsov helped discover the hormone GLP-1, which led to the development of blockbuster obesity drugs. Now, she’s fighting for recognition. #LongReads https://t.co/MN5g9lFk6M @NewsfromScience

We are very excited to share with you the results of great teamwork with @AmelieFT lab! In this study, two graduate students @lymphocytePC and @DessaptJcharacterized the critical role of FIRRM/C1orf112 in the disassembly of RAD51 during DNA repair.

Today we report in @ScienceMagazine a one-time base editing treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic cause of infant mortality worldwide, affecting ~1 in 10,000 births. https://t.co/oLp8VN0Iiw PDF: https://t.co/JoKm9BxW89 1/17

Need an up-to-date #TreeofLife for teaching/conferences/wall paper? Talented PhD student @BasileBeaud drew a schematic consensus ToL from the most recently published phylogenies. Hope this is useful! Downloadable version in the thread👇

Congratulations to Edgar for his successful PhD defense! Now we can all officially call him Dr. Pinedo-Carpio ⁦@lymphocytePC⁩ 👏👏👏 #phd #graduation #goodjob

Ever wonder what’s happening at centromeres in resting cells? Our latest study, led by @xssaayman and in collab with @nussenza, demonstrates striking enrichment of DNA breaks at centromeres in quiescent human cells. Excited to share this work @MolecularCell now!

Delighted to share the exceptional work of post-doctoral fellow Mathieu Neault in close collaboration with @MelicharLab @johannes_zuber Tim Shaw, Tanja Gruber @LauraHulea and many others! Thanks to https://t.co/H2HAEou9cg @CIHR_IRSC @CCSResearch
