New preprint from our lab! Why is not everyone working on Transposons? Loss of H3K9me3 maintenance in human neural progenitor cells leads to transcriptional activation of L1 retrotransposons www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Read this preprint today from @jakobssonlab.bsky.social lab that profiles and CRISPRi perturbs L1 transcription in hiPSCs and cerebral organoids. It is extremely well done. The L1 CRISPRi phenotype in the organoids is subtle and variable but interesting. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #TEsky

We profiled the effects of our CRISPRi system targeting young L1 elements in human pluripotency & brain development. These elements deeply impact our transcriptome, but also have very distinct effects on their nearby genome. Check it out!! 🧬👾 #TEsky #CRISPR #L1 #development #epigenetics

Profiling and targeting young L1s is no easy matter 🧐 check out our new preprint to see how we delve into transcriptional and epigenomic profiling of L1s, and investigate their involvement in pluripotency and early brain development 🧠

Well done paper from Wenfeng An's lab showing Yy1 activates L1 TF monomers but surprisingly not GF monomers. More monomers = stronger Yy1 activation academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...

The HuSH complex silences retrotransposable elements. We identify HuSH2, centered on TASOR2, targeting KRAB-ZNFs and interferon genes, balancing retrotransposon silencing and immune regulation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
