#GStransposons
We’re back for the second day of our transposons meeting. @odedrechavi.bsky.social is talking about transgenerational memories #GSTransposons

Next up is @SaraMaciasRNA
discussing how DGCR8 acts as a gatekeeper of the interferon response by preventing cytoplasmic TE-dsRNA accumulation #GStransposons

Our president Anne Ferguson-Smith is giving the next talk on epigenetic control of variable expressivity via mammalian retrotransposons! #GSTransposons

Brilliant talk at #GStransposons at the @gensocuk.bsky.social meeting, really enjoyed this
And with that the afternoon of @gensocuk.bsky.social 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 🧵

The last talk before coffee break is @pascale_lesage talking about cell defense mechanisms to limit Ty1 retrotransposition and protect the yeast genome #GSTransposons

Congratulations to our 2024 Balfour Lecture winner @pontus_skoglund.
Pontus’ lecture focuses on Ancient genome evolution in the past: us, our best friends and our worst enemies! #GSTransposons

We start our afternoon session with Didier Trono talking about transposable elements, their polydactyl domesticators and the species-specificity of human biology #GSTransposons
