Group Leader @igmm-montpel.bsky.social 👩🔬 Passionate about Development, Epigenetics and Reprogramming 🐭🧬🔬 X-chromosome inactivation aficionado! https://www.igmm.cnrs.fr/en/team/epigenetic-reprogramming-and-mammalian-development/
This went under the radar but answers a fundamental question in Epigenetics...
From many hundreds of olfactory receptor genes, each neuron selects expression of only single one (near-randomly). How?
Outstanding work from Mathieu Boulard and colleagues

💡 New paper out in @natcellbio.nature.com 💥💥💥🚀🚀🚀 We uncover an unexpected role for endogenous Xist RNA in regulating X-linked genes that escape X-inactivation well beyond early development, in differentiated, non-dividing cells and in vivo post implantation embryos 👇👇👇👇
Congratulations 👏👏
This is today !
We are thrilled to host Elphège Nora next week in Montpellier 🤩 ☀️🧬

🧬Le magazine de la Métropole de Montpellier consacre un article à Jamal Tazi, pour son rôle dans la découverte de l’Obefazimod (ABX464), molécule issue de la recherche académique et développée grâce à une collaboration public-privé exemplaire.

New paper from the lab: we’re using long-read sequencing to disentangle isoform complexity at allele-specific loci 🧬💡
Here, we combine the PacBio Iso-Seq workflow with the established WhatsHap phasing approach to assign long reads to the correct allele in polymorphic F1 mouse hybrids.
Spread the word! There is a professor position opening at our University @upcite.bsky.social. There are several possible (great) labs to join, but if you are interested in DNA methylation and epigenetics in mammals, don't hesitate to contact me directly!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)
@viroscope.bsky.social (@karimaj.bsky.social team) partage dans The Scientist ses travaux sur les deltavirus et l’imagerie de cellules, des cellules humaines aux cellules de boa constrictor 🐍.

An Interview with Azim Surani
Ashley Moffett and @geraldinejowett.bsky.social spoke to Azim, recipient of both the 2025 Kyoto Prize and 2026 Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize, about his non-traditional and inspirational route into academia:
journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.
👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus.
