We were missing the paternal side... (skipping 🤯 paternal epigenetics)... we observed that another SLFN, Slfn15, was abundantly expressed from the paternal allele in incompatible embryos. And guess what ? it is tied to another transposons insertion, ETn/MusD, found only in incompatible genomes !

#TEsky Fun Friday thing: we were in a meeting talking about a PCA with different human retrotransposon subfamilies on it, and someone described one as a 'weird Alu', which prompted at least three of us to say 'Weird Alu Yankovic', so that's fun

Fortuitous rendezvous lunch with some previous and current lab members, like a ray of light on a Friday afternoon! The best part of academia is the people you meet 😊
