Thrilled to share this collaborative work, including our @gerlichlab.bsky.social, uncovering a fundamental charge-based principle of centromere positioning! Check it out 👇

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/

Delighted to share that the results of my main postdoc project are now published in @nature.com 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Today marks the 80th anniversary of Italy’s Liberation Day, commemorating the end of the Nazi-fascist regime. The freedom we inherited must be protected every day, because fascism doesn’t belong in the past, unless we keep it there. La libertà va difesa ogni giorno. #25aprile #liberazione

Now with the proper working link, sorry for the trouble! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

New preprint from the @gerlichlab.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social! How do DNA breaks locate homology sites in the vast space of the human genome? We show how cohesin guides homology search for faithful repair! Read more 👉 https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.10 Follow along for key insights! 🧵

The Vienna Biocenter Summer School 2025 call is now open for talented undergrads, it's a great prog. for students who are interested in the life sciences. training.vbc.ac.at/summer-school/ @impvienna.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social @gmivienna.bsky.social @maxperutzlabs.bsky.social

New updates to the upcoming DNA repair/Genome Stability conferences over 2024/2025. Please let me know if you have meetings to add: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

ok, Genome Stability people. Here are our two starter packs - since I can't pin them both independently to my profile, have to make a new post. Still adding new people to the second pack. As usual, please reach out if you would like to be added! bsky.app/starter-pack... bsky.app/starter-pack...
