Excellent work (as usual!) from the Genikhovich group! Highly recommended read.

Happy Darwin day, everyone! Charles is 216 years old today. He is not here anymore, but his theory is still alive and well!

Elon Musk trying to fix the grant overhead system in US academia is like a brain surgeon performing an operation on a patient using a sledgehammer... 🤦 BTW, the ones who are going to suffer the most from this are state universities, not the Ivy League... www.science.org/content/arti...

1/3 🎬 film review: I am very bad in working and sleeping on 🛩. So flying to Colorado and back on multiple Delta/Air France flights enabled me to fill quite some gap in recent movies (I love cinema but have no time). My impressions: Killers of the Flower Moon: Breathtaking and heartbreaking. 5⭐️ 🧵

1/4 🚨 a brand new @biorxiv preprint from the lab! We charcterized both transcriptionally, morphologically and functionally (phagocytosis) immune cells from #Nematostella! We are convinced that our data supports the existence of such specialized cells! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

Transferring flights at Paris CDG as part of my long journey to @keystonesymposia.bsky.social on Non-coding #RNA. I'm very excited to attend this cool event for the first time! (and also visiting beautiful Colorado would be a 1st for me. Ummm, but temperatures look a bit scary! 🥶).

It was a pleasure to host the awesome @yehumoran.bsky.social in our Developmental Genetics Club and learn about toxins and their role in modulating complex predation interactions!

1/3 🚨 new preprint from our lab! For many years, it was unclear if and how RNAi contributes to antiviral immunity in Cnidaria. Sure, it is a key component in flies and nematodes, but these are protostomes. Yael Admoni finally tested this with help from 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New insight on gonad morphogenesis ! Our new paper reveals how germ & somatic cells interact through TGF-Beta feedback loop to drive gonad morphogenesis in Hydractinia. Check out the full paper in Science Advances ! tinyurl.com/245rw699

1/3 Our paper about miRNA target complementarity in Cnidaria is finally published in @emboreports.bsky.social This work was led by the talented Yael Admoni with help from Arie and Rubi in collaboration with the labs of @thecocodium.bsky.social and Michal Rabani www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

1/3 I am very excited to tell you about our latest work where we looked not only into sea anemones but also 🪸 We find in #Nematostella that stress induces not immunity, but also viral replication, actually much faster than the immune response! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We went today to visit my parents, and this is what we came back to...

Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature perception can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Anyone has experience with the Illumina NextSeq P4 50 bp kit (1.8 billion reads) for RNA-seq? Did it work well for your needs?

Giving a talk about a project that is now in the 3rd round of major revision in a CNS journal... @odedrechavi.bsky.social is this how you do it? 🤪

SOX and POU are crucial Transcription Factors in animal development, believed to be innovations of this group. Here we find them in unicellular relatives of animals. And hold tight, you can use a choanoflagellate 🦠 SOX gene to make a full chimeric 🐁 ! Read more here 🧵: rdcu.be/d0dPN 1/6
