Our work on the interplay between loop extrusion and chromatin mechanics is finally out in @physrevresearch.bsky.social . Congrats @hosseinsalari.bsky.social for the hard work ! 👏 journals.aps.org/prresearch/a...

Happy to share our Current Opinion review on the key challenges in accurately predicting 3D distances between chromatin segments and computing their dynamics. Thanks to @djost-physbiol.bsky.social @lucagiorgetti.bsky.social for the invitation to write this review! @shuvadipdutta.bsky.social

Thanks also to @lucagiorgetti.bsky.social and @djost-physbiol.bsky.social for the invitation and for putting together a very interesting themed issue - the other reviews in the issue can be found here www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

🚨SUMOylation regulates the formation and function of Polycomb foci. New preprint from Cavalli lab where we performed modeling: SUMOylation regulates the PRC1 self-attractions mediating PcG condensate. Look at the preprint 👇https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.05.704038v1

TSA treatment may induce cellular and structural memory !! Happy to have been part of this beautiful story, lead by @fpaldi.bsky.social in Giacomo Cavalli's lab. Now published in @natgenet.nature.com 👏. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New preprint from the lab. Combining modeling and data analysis of SisterC data in yeast, we investigate cohesion of replicated chromosomes and show that sister chromatids are loosely and asymmetrically aligned in G2/M. Check the tweetorial below ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

SMC and recombination enthusiasts: we updated our work describing the loop extrusion properties of budding yeast condensin and its function in biasing donor usage for mating-type switching. Lots of cool new data, check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our Mini Review went online last night in Current Opinion in Genetics & Development "Block copolymer concepts of how transcription organizes the stem cell genome" doi.org/10.1016/j.gd... Fig. 1: Stem cell–typical organization of the genome and transcription, and the block copolymer sorting concept.

🚨Our work on the impact of DNA replication on 3D genome is out in Genome Biology: replication-dependent loop extrusion by sister-forks, wave of replication, no evidence for large-scale replication factory. Great collab with @aurelepiazza.bsky.social. More here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

New preprint from the lab !! Loop extrusion may provide mechanical robustness to chromatin. Great work by Hossein Salari. @cnrs.fr @lbmcinlyon.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"A la découverte des chromosomes", la conférence immersive imaginée par @djost-physbiol.bsky.social est en ligne sur la chaine Youtube du CNRS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHh_... @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social @cnrs-rhoneauvergne.bsky.social @ensdelyon.bsky.social

🚨 new preprint from the lab. Combining modeling, new Hi-C data in yeast and data analysis, our study offers new insights into the spatial and dynamic organization of chromatin during replication in eukaryotes. Check the tweetorial below ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
