We recently reported that promoter competition can contribute to the robust insulation of gene regulatory domains (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).
We now offer a 4-years PhD contract to investigate whether the dirsuption of this regulatory mechanism can lead to congenital defects. More details 👇

“Developmental biology is fundamentally beautiful. We are no less beautiful for our variation. Instead, perhaps we are more so. Perhaps we are remarkable. Perhaps we are full of wonder.”

Out now! 🎉 Check the thread & preprint to see why we think E–P specificity is real in mammals — and, well, a few other interesting things popped up too 👀
Huge thanks to @danielibrahim.bsky.social, @arnaudkr.bsky.social & @stemundi.bsky.social and fantastic people in their labs — what a journey! 🧪🔬

Living creatures do not exist in isolation. They are born of and into particular times and places, communities and systems. You cannot resurrect a species by reverse engineering part of its half-supposed aesthetic.
