New paper alert from the group!! 🚨: DNA flexibility tips the balance between stability and plasticity in nucleosomes One of the works from my PhD, co-led alongside @nachper.bsky.social, is finally out! Work from @rcollepardo.bsky.social & @janhuemar.bsky.social ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... ⬆️

How do DNA sequence and histone chemistry tune nucleosome stability and plasticity? Check out our latest work to find out. Now available on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @juliamaristany.bsky.social @janhuemar.bsky.social @rcollepardo.bsky.social Share with your colleagues!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

A Goldilocks zone of DNA flexibility defines stable yet plastic nucleosomes, tuned by histone chemistry https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.16.706184v1

New preprint alert! Very proud of this work, lots of hard work that turned into a really cool story! This was my first chance to step into a senior role, but most importantly, it means far more to me than just the science. You should always say yes to new projects. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Congratulations to @janhuemar.bsky.social (JRF at Catz since 2023) who is part of an international team of scientists responsible for a long-awaited visualisation of liquid droplets forming inside a cell known as condensates, key for processes such as DNA repair: caths.cam.ac.uk/cond... @cam.ac.uk

Super excited to share that our paper is now out in @science.org. Lots of work, but also lots of fun getting this out. Be sure to check it out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Also, follow: @huabin-zhou.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social @kieran-russell.bsky.social @rcollepardo.bsky.social

Very excited to present OpenCGChromatin🔥🔥🔥 A new coarse-grained model that probes full chromatin condensates at near-atomistic resolution to reveal the molecular regulation of chromatin structure and phase separation Brilliantly led by @kieran-russell.bsky.social, with the Rosen and Orozco groups

So exciting to see this amazing paper out! Many thanks to @jojdavies.bsky.social for inviting us to contribute with our models to this fascinating story! @rcollepardo.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social

🚨 🚨 🚨 New preprint alert!!! 🚨 🚨 🚨 In the past, we have learnt that Oct4 can induce nucleosome breathing on the mono-nucleosome level. But what happens when you have a fibre of multiple nucleosomes? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @rcollepardo.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social

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...

🚨 New paper out in Nature Comms! From the Rosen, Redding and Collepardo Labs, we uncover how #nucleosome spacing fine-tunes the architecture of #chromatin condensates. 👇 A short thread on how physical #genome organization emerges from molecular interactions: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So excited to finally see our CTPR-condensate work published! Well done Chris, Mateo, Julia et al. ❤️ @chemicalscience.rsc.org @phar.cam.ac.uk @rcollepardo.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

🌱Join us for the first #FragileNucleosome seminar of this spring! We are excited to host @juliamaristany.bsky.social & @chribue.bsky.social this week! If you have registered before you can join from the same link, if not, don't forget to register! us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Excited to share our newest collaboration with @kazu-maeshima.bsky.social and @masaashimazoe.bsky.social, where we show that H1 acts as a liquid-like glue in chromatin. Go check the paper on the biorXiv!

We are happy to share our work on local #nucleosome dynamics integrating #temperature inputs into an #epigenetic switching mechanism. ⚠️ Preprint alert!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Proud to have the final version of our paper on mutations + condensates + scaling laws published in @elife.bsky.social! Work led by @juliamaristany.bsky.social w/ @rcollepardo.bsky.social ! Read the digest here: elifesciences.org/digests/9906...

Happy holidays from the Collepardo group ♥️

Excited to be a part of this story!!! Check out our new manuscript exploring how linker DNA length controls chromatin's ability to phase separate

Is chromatin ordered or disordered? It all depends on the linker DNA length. Check our latest work with Mike Rosen and Sy Redding. We explore how changes in linker DNA length (as small as 1 bp) fine-tune chromatin structure, between order and disorder, and the properties of chromatin droplets
