📢 Last chance to register and join us in person for #EESWildModels!

🌏 'Wild frontiers of model organisms' will bring together lab- and field-focused researchers from ecology, genomics, quantitative cell and molecular biology and showcase how exploring the wild frontiers of model systems is increasing our understanding of the biology, ecology and evolution of organisms, ranging from microbes to plants and animals 🌿🦈

Attend talks, network, socialise, and experience the EMBL Heidelberg campus atmosphere! 🧬🤩

Did you know that the environment of our ancestors can influence epigenetic information that is inherited across generations?

@AnaBoskovic18's group studies how these epigenetic factors regulate gene expression and influence embryonic development:

[Flora Vincent @vincentflora]

Very nice coverage in @Nature about how bringing labs into the field is an incredible opportunity for environmental sciences, & how it's a dream come true for many of us. Special feature on @EMBLtrec & Niko Leisch, head of @embl Mobile Labs. @TaraOcean_

We are excited to be launching a call for an independent fellow in machine learning and AI at EMBL Rome. Bring your ideas for applying ML/AI tools to understand omics, animal behavior, and/or neural activity datasets to EMBL. https://t.co/d7gCq8iYZo

For many molecular biologists, proteins are not only objects of study, but also dear friends (or enemies).

Here, Sofia Rucli from EMBL Rome talks about her relationship with the protein OGT, a molecular ‘candy man’ of the cell.

@MaryRoseMuseum Sitting crossed legged on a hard floor in primary school, watching live. Loved it.

[EMBL Rome @EMBLRome]

We are very pleased with the publication of this study aimed at investigating the role of circular RNAs in the brain.
The paper is the result of the hard work of our Gene Editing and Embryology Facility (headed by @neil_humph) and collaborators at the @SapienzaRoma

[David R. Liu @davidrliu]

Today we report in @NatureBiotech a system for the laboratory evolution of engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs) that enables the discovery of eVLP variants with desired properties, including improved production and delivery potency. 1/13

This .gif is from an amazing new study. It shows an oocyte being extracted from an ovarian follicle and being replaced by another oocyte.

This process can have an amazing effect. If you plop an old oocyte into a young follicle, it can reverse its age, making it fertile again!

[David R. Liu @davidrliu]

Sammy Basso @SammyBasso, one of the most remarkable people to share our world, passed away last night from complications associated with progeria, the ultra-rare ‘rapid aging’ genetic disease Sammy both suffered from and transcended.

Sammy realized that a base editing treatment that corrects the root cause of progeria and rescues animals with the disease would likely not be ready in time for him, but worked tirelessly every day to bring this potential treatment to other patients so they might have a better life.

Sammy made the most of every day, living with great purpose, intention, and joy that was inspiring, infectious, and reminded us of what’s truly important.

We miss him terribly. 😔

👏What a 3 days that was at the #EMBLtrec Symposium!
🚀 3 days to share work, review progress, discuss & network, leading to new ideas, collaborations & connections!
👏 Bravo @EMBLtrec for the incredible organisation!

[EMBLtrec @EMBLtrec]

Day 2 of TREC Symposium 2024 is starting 🙌 

This morning, we will learn how environmental contexts modify coastline species. Leave your highlights about it in the comments to share this knowledge broadly! 

Also, don’t forget: use #EMBLtrec on your posts and tag us @EMBLtrec
