#RecercaUB | 👁️ Petits canvis en l’expressió d’un gen poden provocar grans canvis en la mida dels ulls. Així conclou una recerca coliderada per la #UniBarcelona. 🔬 La professora @isabelalmudi.bsky.social és una de les autores principals de l’estudi. @biologiaub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social

We are recruiting! We are looking for a PhD student to study rapid adaptation to stress in bacteria (shorturl.at/sr0Mj). Come join us in Barcelona!

Transgenerational effects of heat shock on gene regulation and fitness-related traits are stronger in arid than temperate Drosophila populations https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.13.637908v1

This has been a fantastic adventure - to capture the genomic regulatory code underlying brain cell types (using deep learning models trained on chromatin accessibility), and then use these models to compare cell types between the bird and mammalian brain
