DFAM (database of transposable elements) 3.9 is out! A lot of cool new stuff and a special update for Drosophila melanogaster... 1/2 #Transposon #DFAM
Today we released Dfam 3.9 with many new community submissions and the result of a thorough curation and update of the Drosophila Melanogaster library. www.dfam.org (release notes: www.dfam.org/releases/Dfa...)

After @tehub.bsky.social satellite workshop at #ICTE2024 and the creation of a working group on benchmark, what about the next step ? A manual curation workshop ? Share your thougth with the TEhub

I ❤️ Diversity-Generating Retroelements! DGRs are abundant in prokaryotes and have been domesticated to create protein diversity via reverse transcription. This new structural study reveals a unique way of priming RT via precise positioning of the RNA around the enzyme.

If you're at #PAG32, do yourself a favor and attend Clément's talks on Transposable Elements / polymorphism detection.
#PAG32 I'd bet that every genome studied at PAG has a least 1 #Transposon, if not thousands! Find us on Sunday for an exciting session on #mobileDNA!

Did you ever wondered how "jumping genes" actually jump? 2 papers now published in Nature show the 3D structure of the enzyme responsible for this process for human LINE-1 retrotransposon (links 👇). Congrats to the authors!

Great initiative by Ilya Kirov to make PhD positions in the transposon / mobile genome field easier to share and find.

Here is a link to the google table he created for this:
