What happens when evolution adds an extra pair of eyes? Male mayflies evolve an extra pair of dorsal compound eyes, the Turbanate eyes, thought to help males detect females during mating swarms. we have investigate how this remarkable evolutionary novelty develops. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy to share the final version of our study on the evolution of chromatin states across eukaryotes, out today in @natgenet.nature.com Led by @crisnava.bsky.social and @seanamontgomery.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... Some highlights below

New preprint out where I had a small contribution. Want to know more about Physalia utriculus? Take a look ! 👇 @multicellgenome.bsky.social @obog.bsky.social @alexdemendoza.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Sailing in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ready for summer, our study on the iconic Portuguese man o' war 🪼 is out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... We use (epi)genomics to understand a critter that fascinates me since childhood. Massive team effort with @obog.bsky.social, Cummins and Neely groups. 🧵

🐟On 18th May, Denisse Chacón, DANIO-ReCODE DC, participated in the "Pint of Science" event in Linz, with the talk 🎙️"Lotería of Life: What Axolotls and Zebrafish Can Teach Us About Healing". She explained the importance of data visualisation in regeneration research @jku.at @obog.bsky.social

🐟DANIO-ReCODE beyond the lab! In April, our DC13, Darío González attended to the #ISCBUK 2026 Conference at @robinsoncollege.bsky.social He presented a poster about the ongoing analysis of scHi-C data to study genome organisation @iscb.bsky.social @unibirmingham.bsky.social @obog.bsky.social

In the special Christmas talk we hosted Carola Vinuesa @carovinuesa.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk! She delivered an outstanding seminar explaining different lines of research including the one understanding the Folbigg case! Carola was hosted by @obog.bsky.social, Marta Artal & Peter Askjaer! #XmasCABD

So exciting to see this in print! Ever wondered how embryonic cells know what (fate) to become during early development? In particular when they might see different signaling cues? We investigated this! And a lovely cover from Zoe Ruiz and @oliveringe.bsky.social! www.cell.com/developmenta...

👏👏Congrats @fany-real.bsky.social for the EMBO YIP. Brilliant!!!

Photosynthetic sea slugs can decapitate themselves & regenerate whole body from the detached head (without the heart or guts), while the shed body do not regenerate. The process takes ~2-3 weeks. A new model for regeneration? From: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Out today, our take on 6-methyladenine #6mA evolution in Eukaryotes @natgenet.nature.com. We asked a simple question, is really DNA 6mA common across the eukaryotes? The answer is "yes" if you're a unicellular eukaryote 🦠, not so if you're multicellular 🐝🌱🍄. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9

piRNA-directed DNA methylation may not be a mammalian invention, but can already be found in the germline of axolotl salamanders Donal O’Carroll and coworkers www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Part 6: For decades, the zebrafish has helped scientists unlock the mysteries of genetics, development, & disease. But the fish that power most discoveries have spent generations inside lab tanks. This video captures footage of zebrafish in their natural environment in Nepal. youtu.be/cCZhZpPALqw

Two back-to-back stories on mitosis led by my incredible postdoc @krunovuk.bsky.social at @institutrb.bsky.social, in which we challenge the gliding model of CENP-E-driven chromosome congression! Today in @natcomms.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s414... doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Very excited to share an excellent review from @teresa-urli.bsky.social, published one week before her PhD defense! We did a deep dive into the fascinating biology of the variant Polycomb complex, PRC1.6 (1/5) journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

Very happy to have contributed to this review on "non-CG" #methylation in animals now out in @natgenet.nature.com. Working again with @obog.bsky.social and Tirsa is always a pleasure. We think this not so well studied form of methylation should be more widely considered, please read: rdcu.be/eFAEk

EPIGENETIC HULK READY TO SMASH AGAIN! GET IN LOSERS!

Sequence-alignment is not the best way to detect conserved cis-regulatory elements? Tobi Zehnder from Vingron-Lab developed #IPP a synteny based algorithm with @ferencmueller.bsky.social, @borislenhard.bsky.social& @da-bar.bsky.social We used it to find conserved enhancers with diverged sequences

So excited that our latest work is out! We have been working to understand how damaged tissue exits regeneration and returns to normal gene expression, and found a major role for the pioneer transcription factor Zelda in flies. Kudos to @anishbose.bsky.social @keatonschuster.bsky.social et al!
