I'm so grateful for this journey 👩‍🎓!
Thank you @sebbyrust.bsky.social and @ccilelorrain.bsky.social for your guidance, and to all the inspiring people who help me reach higher and keep moving forward 🦋
Packed room for Emma Corre's PhD defense on transposable elements in rust fungi genomes.
Congratulations Dr @emma--c.bsky.social 👏👏👏

And what a lovely tribute to Barbara McClintock who discovered transposable elements in 🌽!!!

Happy Barbara Day, happy #TransposonDay2025 to all that celebrate! Every day we get to work on transposons is such a privilege and joy, and I will never not be amazed by these jumping weirdos -the neutral, the bad and the good. Share some black walnut brownies with your friends today!
🧬🌽 Happy Transposon Day! 🌽🧬

Today we celebrate the birthday of Barbara McClintock - scientist extraordinaire and discoverer of jumping genes. Still the only woman to have an unshared Nobel Prize in the biomedical sciences #TransposonDay2025

Excited to share the first PhD preprint of @iglavincheska.bsky.social — now on bioRxiv!
We explored the 3D genome of Zymo and found:
🧬 Rabl-like conformation
🧩 Accessory chr tethered to core centromeres
🏰 Self-interacting domains and boundaries with insulator motifs

Historic transposon mobilisation waves create distinct pools of adaptive variants in a major crop pathogen
Transposable elements (TEs) can drive the evolution of host-pathogen interactions and gains in antimicrobial resistance. However, how adaptive TEs arise in populations and historical contingencies aff...

I'm learning so much about TEs!

Josje Romeijn asks if TE defense mechanisms are so good... How do TEs stick around?

Could Horizontal Gene Transfer 🧬📨🧬 be the answer?

They found 5518 potential horizontal TE transfer events across 1348 species!

What can we learn about extreme (and not so extreme) adaptation from Rhodotorula?

From food 🍛 to space flight 🚀. And dishwashers 🍽️ and deserts 🏜️. The pink 🩷 yeast are widely distributed.

400+ new genomes reveals new weirdly large genomes.. Hybrids? Duplications? 🤷🏽‍♀️
