The Ly Lab is recruiting two #postdocs to study intercellular DNA transfer. Join us to tackle fundamental questions at the intersection of genome instability, cell-cell communication, and cancer evolution. Please share! 🙏 Full posting: cri.utsw.edu/careers/

Interested in studying nuclear condensates across the cell cycle? Our latest methods paper in STAR Protocols may be exactly what you are looking for! Here, we describe a high-throughput, novel imaging approach that tracks condensate dynamics in human cells. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Out today - structure of the human HIRA histone chaperone complex bound to nucleosomes. Ever wondered how nucleosomes are assembled in the wake of transcription? It takes a 'hulk of a protein complex'. Work by the amazing Wei Tian weetian558.bsky.social. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵

Excited to share our latest paper! We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. @cp-cell.bsky.social (1/7) www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Small contribution to the eternal match happening inside every cell: in the red corner, replication. In the blue corner, transcription. Both convinced they own the genome. Another amazing collaboration with @hamperllab.bsky.social and @luijsterburglab.bsky.social lnkd.in/ey9tH7YF

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab by @melissamcevoy.bsky.social The S/G2 checkpoint prevents the premature shutdown of the DNA replication program. Without it, cells fail to finish replicating their chromosomes and have severe mitotic errors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Interested in microbiology, immunology, and host-pathogen interactions? Come work with us! Our department at OHSU is opening a search for a new tenure-track faculty position. See the job advertisement for details. Please share within your networks! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

New preprint out today from the lab! congrats to Celina Sanchez on this exciting work! check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are excited to launch the full program for the 2026-2027 season of the Genome Integrity Italian Network webinars! Join us every first Tuesday of the month via Zoom: uzh.zoom.us/j/6598481621... Subscribe here to receive a calendar file with all webinars: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Are you a recent Ph.D. graduate? Apply for the Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. The $30,000 grand prize will be awarded for outstanding research in cell and molecular biology, genomics, ecology, or molecular medicine. Apply by 15 July: https://scim.ag/4lUpKMN

Excited to share our @natprot.nature.com paper on using RNA proximity labeling to map subcellular RNA transcriptomes. We’ve been working in this area for a while and wanted to create a resource paper to guide the uninitiated reader. rdcu.be/fblvI

Microhomology-mediated end joining acts directly on replication forks to repair single-ended double-strand breaks

Another great opportunity for genome integrity / replication stress aficionados to attend two excellent seminars with a simple click. Join us in a few days (Tue April 7th)! 👇

To kickstart this new Bluesky account: We're hiring! The Bertolin Lab @dundee.ac.uk is looking for a postdoc to work on DNA-end homeostasis & genome stability, funded by Wellcome Trust Award. Exciting science, fantastic environment, founding role in the lab. Details in the flyer — get in touch! 👇

🧵 Thread: What happens when transcription isn’t properly shut off during mitosis? Our new preprint explores just that 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dear Colleagues, Delighted to share that our first lab paper is now published in Nature.!!! 😊😊😊 We identify a previously concealed “safety limit” in DNA replication program: cells intrinsically rate-limit PCNA via PAF15, shaping strand-specific and global replication dynamics. 👉 rdcu.be/e1bBt

I am excited to share the first paper from the Saldivar lab! A special thank you to all who contributed. Precise control of transcription condensates across S phase balances linker histone expression with DNA replication, ensuring genome stability: Molecular Cell www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
