1/ New preprint alert! In collaboration between the Rosen, Redding, Collepardo-Guevara & Gerlich labs, we uncover a surprising principle of chromosome organisation: electrostatic repulsion positions centromeres at the chromosome surface during mitosis. 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I am pleased to share a new preprint from my postdoc in the @dseruggia.bsky.social lab. We discovered a structural dependency within the CORE module of the transcriptional coactivator SAGA, which regulates the stability of its histone acetyl transferase, KAT2A. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

We found a new asymmetry in the large-scale chromosome structure: sister chromatids are systematically shifted by hundreds of kb in the 5′→3′ direction of their inherited strands! The work was led by Flavia Corsi, in close collaboration with the Daniel Gerlich lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/
