Preprint alert! 🎉 @C_D_Todd and the team used multi-omic profiling of human and mouse embryonic development to identify a conserved program of epigenetic priming at lineage specific enhancers for all three germ layers within the epiblast.

Last chance to apply and join our team as a postdoc. We want to work with you and do some really cool epigenetics experiments to understand how brain cells regulate gene expression in Alzheimer's disease.
Apply today 💪🧬🧠
📢 Come and join our team! My lab is recruiting a postdoc to work on cell type specific epigenetic regulation in Alzheimer's disease. Apply by 4 Jan.

Excited to host @stefanschoenfe1 from @BabrahamInst as part of @QMULepigenetics seminar series. Please try to join us in person, we promise there will be lots of chat on #enhancers and histone modifications, stem cells & importantly 🍺🥂
We are looking forward to having Stefan Schoenfelder from @BabrahamInst for our next @QMULepigenetics seminar Titled "Cis-regulatory control of pluripotent stem cell fates" on 30th Sept, 16:00 BST join in-person/online qmulepigenetics.com/webinars

So happy our work is now out! @AdvSciNews I'll miss my days as a slice electrophysiologist! Hope our work can spark some cool ideas in the exciting field of voltage imaging!

We're thrilled to be at the @CambridgeIndy Science & Technology Awards this evening! Our Virus Fighter and Epigenetics Escape Room #publicengagement projects are finalists in the STEM Initiative of the Year category #SciTechAwards
Fascinating insights into early embryonic development coming from an incredibly talented colleague (who you should all be keeping an eye on)
Now online in @CellStemCell! We discovered that extraembryonic membrane amnion is formed in two waves in primate embryos and established a pluripotent stem cell-based model closely recapitulating this process 🧵1/13

Our colleague @C_D_Todd is on @theGenomicsLab podcast today! Chris talks to @Olivia_A_Grant about transposable elements, epigenetic priming of enhancers and more!

While painful to listen to my own voice I'm excited to see the interesting discussion about transposable elements I had with @theGenomicsLab host Olivia will be released tomorrow! (this was a real test of how much I remember my transposon knowledge)
quick spoiler of tomorrow's episode with @C_D_Todd from @ReikLab at the @BabrahamInst !
fun convos about transposable elements and epigenetic priming of enhancers, tomorrow at 10am! 🧬
Also I can't stress enough how this was a great experience and that I can encourage anyone who is approached by @Olivia_A_Grant to get over their nerves and get involved!

Now published in @eLife! 🎉 We show that transient iPSC reprogramming can substantially rejuvenate human fibroblast cells (many markers suggest by about 30 years)! Congratulations to @Diljeet_Gill who led the work. Thread below 👇🧵

Been wondering how to best do CUT&Tag and how it compares to ChIP-seq? We've got you covered!
📢 New preprint led by @dihuscientistdj
and Leyla Abbasova, where we optimised and benchmarked CUT&Tag:
