Beautiful new story from Neil Johnson's lab, hard work driven by Wang, many collaborators incl' Jean Yves Masson, and small contribution from us. Super happy to see this in press! PALB2 and 53BP1 govern post-resection homologous recombination DNA repair: Molecular Cell www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Fresh of the press, a beautiful collaborative work with and from the Sung lab, led by the amazing Francisco Neal, now back to his "normal" life (med school) post PhD. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Distinct roles of the two BRCA2 DNA-binding domains in DNA damage repair and replication fork preservation

Want to learn more about RB? Here is a free author link to a new review. Hot of the press, out of the @duijflab.bsky.social Well done Pascal :) authors.elsevier.com/c/1k-zt5Eb1B...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

I hope that European agencies take note of what's happening in the US right now and go on a shopping spree. It has been a few years that my European colleagues and I have been considering moving back home. If there was a way, we would. In drove. China could do the same: large mistreated talent pool.

The lab 2024 article is out! BRCA1/BARD1 ubiquitinates PCNA to promote continuous, ssDNA-free, DNA synthesis in a RAD18-independent pathway. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am looking PhD students interested in structural and mechanistic enzymology. We have DOE-funded CryoEM projects teed up great thesis work on higher order protein assembly and to capture protein motion during turnover. If you know of undergrad students looking please send them (NSF-GRFP ideas)..

ok, I tried to make a starter pack on genome stability/DNA replication/DNA repair etc. Sorry if I couldn't find someone, please nominate yourself and your colleagues in comments or DMs, looking forward to connecting with everyone! go.bsky.app/9jdDNxG
