We are hiring.🚨 The Tissue Gene Regulation Lab is looking for an experimental PhD student or PostDoc to join our efforts in devising new single cell methods and decoding gene regulation. 💻🔬🧫 Come join me and my lab in beautiful Copenhagen. 🇩🇰 PhD - lnkd.in/dtKz_gnA PostDoc - lnkd.in/dBgn6AcK

We have a new website. The Tissue Gene Regulation Lab can now be found at tgrlab.org. 🫀 🧬 More information and updates will be added continuously.

Join us for this exciting @embo.org workshop to explore recent advances in our understanding of enhancer mechanisms and the critical roles of enhancers in human health! 🧬 🧪 Submit an abstract by March 17 to be considered for short talk. Register by April 1 to participate! 😊 @sdu.dk @dg.dk

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” -Hannah Arendt, “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” 1951. It's happening now 😰

PhD position vacant in the lab. Please spread the news. Study topic: Mammalian nuclear RNA production and turnover systems. Learn more about the lab here: www.mRNP.au.dk

Great summary from Ayako Suzuki on the impact FANTOM and FLJ had on genome annotation and protein inference before reference genomes 🧬 even existed. Full length cDNAs, cap and oligo trapping 🪤 were leading the way! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Job alert.🚨 Come join us in beautiful Copenhagen 🇩🇰 to develop computational tools to decode gene regulatory mechanisms from single cell data.💻🔬🧫 @randersson.bsky.social will be hiring either a PhD or a PostDoc. There is no supervisor I could recommend more! tinyurl.com/3v4uvmz4 tinyurl.com/yc83enfa

Job alert! We are hiring a postdoc or PhD student focusing on * developing computational methods to resolve gene regulation in single cells * investigating the mechanisms and cell-type specific effects of genetic variants PhD student: bsky.app/profile/jobr... Postdoc: bsky.app/profile/jobr...

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War. Same link, new title and some updates.

How can we build better predictive models? And what can AI tell us about complex ecosystem mechanisms? I’m hiring a PhD student to work with me on applying data-driven discovery methods on high-frequency lake data to begin September 2025. Application is due on May 4.

In 1933, the German Chancellor dismantled democracy in only 53 days. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Our new paper is finally out, showing that the same enhancer sequences - and likely the same transcription factors recruited to them - affect the activity of distal enhancers and their looping over to target gene promoters. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A one-way relationship or mutual influences? In our new review we discuss a few recent studies on the interplay between enhancer-promoter interactions and transcription. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We are hiring! 3-year BBSRC-funded postdoc position available. TEs, epigenetics, pregnancy: if you love one or more of these keywords, apply through the link below. Please spread the word.

📣 Registration for the next Non-Coding Genome course at @institutcurie.bsky.social closes on February 15th! Don't miss this opportunity to explore the versatility of non-genic DNA elements and non-coding RNAs with internationally renowned experts. ▶️ training.institut-curie.org/courses/non-...

1/ Interested in how genetic variants influence complex traits? In our new preprint, we show that variant effects depend on the polygenic background in which they occur, and why it is critical to consider polygenic background when studying complex traits. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Together with other JEDIs @michaelrera.bsky.social @drosostalis.bsky.social @ksiudeja.bsky.social @felsenberg.bsky.social and Gerit Linneweber, we are trying to restart this awesome initiative that was unfortunately silenced during COVID. More information here: flies-jedi.github.io Please repost!

Every cell in our body is unique. EMBL researchers have developed a statistical tool – LEMUR – to compare tissues and organisms using single-cell RNA sequencing and use it for applications in human health and fundamental biological research. #AcademicSky 🧬🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two new #preLights to kick off #2025 🎊 1⃣ The trophoblast: where instability is intrinsic. First demonstration that aneuploidy is a feature of trophoblast stem cells & may confer cells with an advantage during placental development.

Transphobic scientists are so weird. Like, the basic principle of all science is to check ideas against the measurable reality of the universe, and discard those ideas that don't fit. Trans people exist. That's reality. Scientists who cannot deal with reality should find a new line of work.

1/2 We’re hiring a Postdoc to join us at the University of Copenhagen. Are you fascinated by 3D chromatin function and super-resolution microscopy? Then this might be the job for you. Start date 1st of April 2025, starting salary 4700 Euro/month. Apply here: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

"I learned that labs can be successful when they’re managed in a healthy manner—by valuing both mentorship and productivity. This type of lab environment allows scientists to develop to their full potential, which only improves the research." www.cell.com/news-do/50-i...

✨New✨ Brand lab preprint - Quiescent neural stem cells adopt a transient 'stem cell-neuron' identity to coordinate their reactivation across the CNS. We've been discussing the neuron-like traits of quiescent NSCs for years, so it's been wonderful to see Laura and Jocelyn uncover these mechanisms! ⚡
