EMBO postdoctoral fellow @Trono_Lab, PhD @ericmiskalab @Cambridge_Uni, MD @tohoku_univ, 武蔵82期
Joined February 2011
New preprint of my postdoc work! We found a novel group of zinc-finger proteins that rapidly evolved in a lineage-specific manner to repress regulatory activities of transposon-derived sequences through anchoring nucleosomes. https://t.co/vwI8BdMrQ9

Evolutionarily recent transcription factors partake in human cell cycle regulation
cell.com
Pulver and Forey et al. generated a novel atlas reporting (1) gene expression over the cell cycle and (2) how systematic gene depletion affects cell cycle progression. They thereby identified...

Thank you for this fantastic opportunity! Hope you’ll find the elements even stranger after my talk.
Next week on March 6th, we welcome @wayomayo as the latest guest in our Max Planck Seminar Series. Wayo is @EMBO Postdoc in the @Trono_Lab, @EPFL_en and we look forward to an interesting talk in which he opens up the (human) genome and its treasure trove of strange features: TEs

Just in case anyone is still here, check our latest preprint, right on time before the holiday season. We explored how transposable elements (TEs) diversify eukaryotic proteomes and found a cool case in nematode F-box genes. https://t.co/W3HYX2khNf Short 🧵 with highlights.
