The multifaceted effects of paternal environments on offspring🌈

Latest from the @jamiehackett.bsky.social lab @embl.org, out now @embojournal.org:

@bbbranjan.bsky.social & @mdura.bsky.social quantitatively investigate the impact of paternal environments on early embryogenesis.

❓Can a father’s environmental exposures before conception influence their offspring?

We systematically tackled this - identifying effects of paternal age, environment and genetics on early embryos - as well as confounding influences

Postdoc positions in epigenetics!

We have several opportunities to investigate big picture questions on (epi)genome function & mechanisms

Based @embl.org near Rome (Italy), we offer full scientific support/facilities, training & funding. Also...☀️🏛️🍕🏖️

Happy to share our preprint👇
Congrats and thanks to all the co-authors 🙏
📢 Preprint! How does the environment of a father before conception influence offspring?

Even more, how do paternal genetics & ages interact with exposures to affect F1 outcome?

We tested this systematically, with intriguing findings & some cautionary tales🧵...
