she/her - PhD student and artist. Exploring transposable elements in deep sea amphipods with @QUADRATdtp

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

And finally all 26 @QUADRATdtp talks all together!

This was such a great week, thank you for organising Izzie and Louise!

[CGEBM Aberdeen @cgebm_aberdeen]

@cgebm_aberdeen will exhibit at @PandJLive on 28th Oct along with our colleagues, showcasing @aberdeenuni 's extensive technologies and expertise. All welcome to this free event to enjoy science, learn, connect and explore solutions.

I'm now working as a bioinformatician for CGEBM, which means I have the pleasure of teaching these courses. Come join us in Aberdeen and learn some bioinformatics 🖥️🦐

[CGEBM Aberdeen @cgebm_aberdeen]

Announcing CGEBM Bioinformatics Courses for 2025/26. #genomics Courses 1-2 days, taught in person, training in #Unix/cluster computing, #genomeassembly , #RNAseq , #microbiome, other applications of short read sequencing. Full details on our training page: https://t.co/DmIxfltHCg

I'm excited for my @eseb2025 presentation later today. I'm part of the symposium on the Genomic Basis of Evolutionary Innovations! I will have stickers to give out too (if bribery is required for attendance) 😁

@RoyalSocBio @GenSocUK It was a lovely conference!

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

A wonderful set of talks from all the new PhD students in our department and from three Research Fellows, lots of very varied, very cool research!

I think the picture got lost the first time, let 's try that again.

Here are all 25 talks together!

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

I'm still buzzing after the @GenSocUK
Meeting!

Here are all 25 talk summaries together

@SaraMaciasRNA @GenSocUK Absolutely! Let me know your email and I can send over a high quality version 😊

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

And with that the afternoon of @GenSocUK short talks is done! We've had: 1) KRABs binding L2/MIR elements, which would effect cardiovascular development; 2) DGCR8 prevents the accumulation of TE-made double-stranded RNA; 1/3 🧵

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

4) chromosome-level assemblies reveal chromosome structure evolution; & 5) centrophillic ATHILA retrotransposons in Arabidopsis

A lovely end to the @GenSocUK Meeting, thank you for the best presentation prize!

Today we had: 1) HUSH complexes suppressing young L1s; 2) TE insertions in centromeres; 3) My talk on amphipod TE and HSPs; 1/2 🧵

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

Here are my favourite facts from the @GenSocUK Medal Talk and Balfour lecture. Of course much more fascinating information was also included
1) siRNAs cause the triploid block which kills triploid maize progeny, which are bad
2) Alternative approached to getting ancient omics seq

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

5) single molecule arrays to capture ORF1p as a marker of cancer; 6) The ORF1p derived L1TD1 allows and contols L1s. 3/3 🧵

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

3) Integrase searches for the AC40 pol-III domain, if the AC40 domain is removed Ty1 can no longer integrate; 4) The interphase of endonuclease, Cryptic, reverse transcriptase and CTD from ORF2p of L1;  2/3 🧵

[Tilly (Matilda) S Scott @TillySScott]

4) TE can create introns, longer TE-made introns are more detrimental; 5) SPIN1 and SPOCD1 control young LINE1s in the germline; 6) low GC content may help TE "hide" from piRNAs.

Another great set of @GenSocUK talks: 1) AFD neuron disruption in C. elegans results in an increase in Tc1 elements; 2) conserved LTRs generate extracellular sRNA; 3) effects of methyl-6-adenosine can be good or bad, depending on external factors; 1/2 🧵

A wonderful start to the @GenSocUK Transposon meeting!
We've had: 1) TE acting as gene switches, 2) CELLO-seq, 3) circular DNA and structural variations, 4) KRAB zinc finger proteins and pancreatic development, 5) epigenetics and KRABs in mice, and 6) pack-CACTA

I've made an account in the other place, come say hi! 🦐

I'm busy getting ready for my next conference presentation at the @GenSocUK Transposon meeting. Layla approves of the custom stickers
