New preprint from my group! Here we studied the contribution of a subset of human- and hominoid-specific transposons (SVA, LTR5HS) to the evolution of human craniofacial development. We specifically focussed on cranial neural crest (CNCC) formation and migration 1/n

Human-specific transposable elements shaped the evolution of craniofacial development through regulation of neural crest migration
Craniofacial development and neural crest specification are evolutionarily conserved processes, yet subtle modifications to their gene regulatory networks drive species-specific craniofacial diversity...

Our new preprint is possibly the best way to announce I'm on Bluesky now!
New #preprint from the Basu & Stewart labs! We discover a non-catalytic role for H3K4me3 methyltransferase MLL2 in modulating 3D chromatin organisation and mobility as pluripotent cells are primed for differentiation.

Hello Bluesky! Just setting up my profile and figuring things out. Excited to see what’s up here.
