Have a look at this online tutorial from EMBL-EBI Training! ⬇️

Highlights from EMBL 'Quantitative biology to molecular mechanisms' day 2: ▶️ Alexander Van Oudenaarden showed how to detect rare variants in mitochondrial DNA in single cells, how to mutate it, and that it mostly presents a neutral drift. Checking membrane potentials, however, revealed phenotypes. ▶️ Helge Grosshans presented a very cool integration of ATAC-seq, TF-binding motifs and peak phases to explain rhythmic chromatin states in nematode development. ▶️ Mo Khalil, Luca Giorgetti and Christine Moene all showcased very exciting reporter essays to understand TF-binding and its modulation through cooperativity, enhancer-promoter interactions and 3D chromatin. 3 take-aways: reduce binding affinity and increase cooperativity to recude off-target effects (MK), neutral TADs are a great playground (LG) and, surprisingly, target gene-body and UTRs are important for enhancer effects (CM). ▶️ Marko Jovanovic presented SPIDR: a multiplexed method for mapping RNA-Protein interactions. The trick - beads with barcode plus split and pool: https://lnkd.in/dHPEcW75 Also, as always, a great poster session! Presented our work on gene-expression based cellular lineage inference, and learned about cell segmentation for image-based approaches and how machine learning can come up with equations to estimate over-complex functions. #EMBLOmics EMBL Events

A sincere thank you to everyone involved in the EMBO Practical Course: 'The Fundamentals of High-End Cell Sorting', held from 4 – 8 November 2024🔬🧫✨ What a fantastic course!

Exciting and insightful first day at the EMBL conference "Quantitative Biology to Molecular Mechanisms" #EMBLOmics EMBL Events - Here are some selected highlights: ▶️ Lacra Bintu presented a high-throughput-screen for transcription effector domains using the rTetR dox-inducible DNA-binding domain. https://lnkd.in/dxaUgc_d ▶️ James Hackett showed fantastic screens addressing the question whether chromatin marks are cause or consequence and whether they are persistent. https://lnkd.in/du9D3vX5 ▶️ Kathryn Lilley talked about a whole range of amazing toolkits to study sub-cellular localization of RNA, protein and their interactions - LOPIT, OOPS and LoRNA. https://lnkd.in/dcKXBQXX https://lnkd.in/dEPCgMAv ▶️ Abdelghani Mazouzi introduced very cool "phenomics" tools highlighting the utility of gain-of-function screens. A bit tired after this talk marathon, but motivated for 2.5 more days of ground-breaking high-throughput science.

Are you ready to elevate your skills and learn how to analyse your biological data using open-source software? Then #EMBLDataAnalysis is for you! 🙌 You won't need to install the software on your local server, the results generated by different containers can be organised in pipelines, and reproducible research is guarantee by the possibility of sharing the docker images used for the analysis. Don't miss out 👀 🛎️ Apply by 27 February 2025 🗓️ 1 – 6 June 2025 📍 EMBL Heidelberg ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eBAJ8G75

We're pleased to present our latest training collection, which introduces concepts and resources for exploring the effects of gene-environment interactions on human health: https://lnkd.in/eBbGDYpH This collection is suitable for anyone interested in understanding how interactions between genes and the environment can impact human health. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful. It features relevant human cohort datasets, environmental readouts, and functional studies, and also emphasises the importance of ethical and legal frameworks regarding data privacy, consent, and genetic discrimination, which are crucial in this field. You can access this collection at any time and for free. Human Ecosystems at EMBL Dayane Araújo Ajay Mishra

Last week we hosted a virtual conference 'The next generation in infection biology'. We hope everyone found it useful and left with fresh ideas and lots of new connections! #EMBLInfectionBiology 🦠💻 It is a unique format, the meeting taking place online and focusing on networking and career opportunities in the field of infection biology. The participants got to present their work, connect with the leading research institutions, and join activities like career panels and networking sessions in small groups. 💡🫱🏾🫲🏻 Many thanks to organisers, speakers, panellists, research institutions representatives, as well as to our lovely participants! 🙏🏻 Scientific organisers: Maria Bernabeu – EMBL Barcelona, Spain Jan Kosiński – EMBL Hamburg, Germany Eva Kowalinski – EMBL Grenoble, France John Lees – EMBL-EBI, UK Nassos Typas – EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Conference organiser: Sophie Dutzi
