Development, heredity and structure.

Postdoc, Columbia University
PhD, @wbderry lab University of Toronto

[Matthew Eroglu @matt_eroglu]

Why are so many inherited traits not explained by genome sequence variation? In my PhD work with @wbderry we describe a new mechanism of inheritance in animals that may account for this ‘missing heritability' 🧵https://t.co/K0tfW4PIoi

"Leaving sticky notes for the children" - Here's a new "Dispatch" @EthanEwe and I wrote in @CurrentBiology about the super cool discovery that @matt_eroglu and Brent Derry had about transgenerational amyloids! (published recently in @NatureCellBio)

@wilson_md @wbderry Thank you!

[Department of Molecular Genetics, U of T @MoGen_Grad]

MoGen researchers at @UofT found that amyloids—proteins tied to diseases like #Alzheimers—can influence heritable traits in C. elegans w/o DNA changes. Published in Nature Cell Biology.

Study led by @wbderry and @matt_eroglu

@xenopuselegans Congrats!

[Chen Wang (王琛), PhD @xenopuselegans]

Our neurotransmitter atlas is officially published! This final version includes a lot of extra data (incl. in suppl. files) that weren't in the earlier versions, but I think they could be useful—feel free to check them out!

@iscotthsc @NatureCellBio Thank you! This pic was my phone background for the past 3 years, so a bit surreal to see it on the journal cover 🤣🤣

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

[Matthew Eroglu @matt_eroglu]

@sofiquinodoz Great work, congrats! General question, do all WT nucleoli show phase separation (FC-DFC-GC) or some contexts where this is not observed?

Noncanonical inheritance of phenotypic information by protein amyloids: https://t.co/9YJNeH7fUP

[Nature Cell Biology @NatureCellBio]

💫NEW: @wbderry, @matt_eroglu & co describe protein amyloid structures that are stably inherited across generations and transmit #EpigeneticMemory in C. elegans. MSTR protein loss results in #transgenerational feminization through ectopic GLD-1 expression.
