Congratulations to @andreannafw (now Dr Wright) from the lab on her successful PhD defence yesterday 🥳. Thanks to @myantlab and Adele Murrell who were kind enough to act as examiners.
Looks like it will be a great meeting and sorry to be missing it, enjoy everyone. Look out for @ChristineRSci and @andreannafw from the lab to hear about their exciting projects using synthetic biology to understand DNA methylation. #epigenetics.
The paper version of our DNMT3B study is now out in @emboreports 🥳:

You can read more on the previous thread but here is a summary of the main updates. This is one for Southern blot fans! 🧵1/9
Kicking off Edinburgh's Atoms to Galaxies🌌 #pint23 events we have @SeanHMcMahon telling us how you would you even recognise alien life if it was staring you in the face 🦠
Beer apparently has a more complex biosignature than some microbial life so all may not be as you expect 🍺
Last week our lab JC diverged into plants 🌱 with this interesting pre-print from @WilliamsSci:

Inspired by @jrichardalbert's efforts we wrote up our thoughts on @PREreview_ and you can read them here: https://t.co/aS7VBOOkqL
We have an exciting PhD project available with Veronique Vitart and @DrColinSemple. Are you interested in gene regulation, human variation and disease, and want to have experience of both bioinformatics and wet-lab, then please apply: https://t.co/vUb8qcednY
This is what a Unit looks like! Thanks to everyone who came to our retreat, including our @EdinUni_IGC colleagues, and braved the weather for this photo opportunity.
@EdinburghUni new finance system has left lots PhD students unpaid this month and staff can't even track who! An organisation failing to pay its lowest paid workers during a cost of living crisis is outrageous @PandemicPGRs@UCU@UCUScotland
Hello #epigenetics twitter, we're looking to use @NEBiolabs EM-conversion module for assessing DNA methylation levels in amplicons rather than genome-wide. Wondering if any of you out there might have useful advice/protocols on setting this up?
