SMC and recombination enthusiasts: we updated our work describing the loop extrusion properties of budding yeast condensin and its function in biasing donor usage for mating-type switching. Lots of cool new data, check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Three must read papers for PhD students. #scisky #PhD #science #research #academicsky 1. The importance of stupidity in scientific research Open Access journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Our new non-denaturing nanoscale 3D DNA tracing technology provides single-cell (and sister-chromatid specific!) readout of chromatin structure with 10kb genomic resolution - Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations to Kai and Oyvind!!

Excited to share our new paper in @cellreports.bsky.social that reshapes our understanding of chromosome organization's deep evolutionary roots! Our work dives into the origins of the machinery that structures our very genomes. 🔗: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... #Genomics #Evolution #CellBiology #LECA

It’s out! The evolutionary origins of yeast point centromeres uncovered! “Ancient co-option of LTR retrotransposons as yeast centromeres” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How does chromatin linker length affect its emergent phase behavior? 🧬👩‍🔬 We explore this question via microscopy and MD simulations: Our new paper, in collaboration with the Rosen and Redding Labs, is out today!! 🔥

I am excited to share this animation of the budding yeast inner kinetochore. Created for David Barford's lab @mrclmb.bsky.social This DNA-binding protein complex acts as an anchor for the spindles that pull chromosomes apart during mitosis. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #blender #animation #b3d
