New exciting work on genome segregation in Haloferax by @premrajka.bsky.social and @bramkamplab.bsky.social group. 🧬<>🧬

📢 Interested in #chromosomes 🧬 & #archaea thriving at the edge of life? PhD project in York,UK on how archaea pass on their genome to daughter cells.Friendly supervisors: me, @steve-quinn-lab.bsky.social & @georgerheath.bsky.social www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 📅 January 7, 2026 Please RP🙏thx!

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

🎉🥳👏Congratulations to Olivier and to the consortium. Excellent results will come to light soon in the #GenomeBiologyI2BC Department.

🚨 Another funded PhD alert🚨 We are recruiting again! For a PhD student to start with us in the @langridgelab.bsky.social October 2026 - please share 👀 If you are interested in foodborne pathogens, public health and phage, look no further 🦠🏥🧬 ➡️ tinyurl.com/3zvavp2t ⬅️ Apply by 6 Jan 2026 🗓️

#qed seems to be a new AI tool that could change the way we review (and write!) papers. Let’s try it!

Nucleoid structure and dynamics influence natural chromosomal transformation in Bacillus subtilis: the role of EbfC url: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Another new team at #GenomeBiologyI2BC. Congratulations @cecilecourret.bsky.social

Kicking off day two at the Spatial Organization of Biological Functions meeting at ICTS Bangalore! The first day was fascinating! #SOBF2025

How do SMC complexes load onto DNA to get ready for loop extrusion? @roisnehamelinf.bsky.social & co discovered that Wadjet, an SMC complex involved in bacterial DNA immunity, performs some impressive molecular gymnastics 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️. Check out the new paper: www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

🚨 First pre-print from my team !! TL;DR: presence of polymorphism (sequence differences between the homologous chromosomes) can *increase* the local rate of recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana, turning cold regions of the genome hot (purple v. grey) !

📝New preprint! #MicroSky 🕰️We chart the full, synchronized lifecycle of a predatory bacterium using Hi-C, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq & microscopy. 🧬We uncover dramatic shifts in nucleoid architecture & transcription, tightly coordinated with predation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The @yorkmuseumstrust.bsky.social's Hospitium was such a lovely location for the @biochemsoc.bsky.social #BioPhyChrom2025 conference dinner. Gorgeous gardens, fabulous food & captivating conversations Thank you to the organisers for creating a great program & friendly interdisciplinary environment

This also happened at #BioPhyChrom2025, congratulations @ceesdekker.bsky.social @danielabarilla.bsky.social @damelab.bsky.social @graingerlab.bsky.social

New paper! We generated and/or (re)analyzed ~100 #metagenomics Hi-C datasets to provide a comprehensive analysis of bacterial and viral metagenomes across VERY different environments. Congratulations to all authors especially Amaury Bignaud and @mmarbout.bsky.social for the huge work! #metaHiC
