ICYMI: New online! How classical genetics uncovered key determinants of TE silencing

Germ cells have their own versions of core transcription factors and fertility depends on them. We're hiring a PhD student to figure out how! 📢 Fly genetics + proteomics + genomics. Fully funded. Aarhus University 🇩🇰 Deadline May 1 👇 Please share with anyone who might be interested!

We have been cooking up this story for a while and we are excited to finally be able to share! Read on if you're interested in whole plant regeneration WITHOUT the application of hormones!

Happy 30th birthday to this paper published March 22, 1996, one of the studies that moved chromatin biology from correlation toward mechanism. Brownell et al. linked a transcription-associated Tetrahymena HAT to yeast Gcn5p, providing a biochemical link for chromatin modification to gene activation.

On my way to #Fungal26! I'll be speaking at #MagnaFest presenting work on regulation of Pmk1, a key component of fungal pathogenesis. If you wanna chat I'll be at poster 652A from 7pm on the 18th. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! @thesainsburylab.bsky.social @genetics-gsa.bsky.social

Visiting with science trainees, I get asked a lot for advice, and I've landed on this as key for me: Rather than worry about where life will take you– no matter where life takes you, Aim to do good and do it well. As to the “Where life will take you” question, only time will tell.

I am happy to see Tatsuya awarded!

Join us in Norwich this July for the TSL Summer Conference in Plant-Microbe Interactions! ☀️🌱🧬 Discuss the latest approaches & discoveries in plant health with international and local speakers. ⏰ APPLY by 30 March '26 ⬇️

Thrilled to see this published! 😄 Our dispatch examines potential additional fungal symbionts in lichen partnerships and the key challenges in unraveling their biology. Thanks for involving me in this @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social @currentbiology.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Very excited to announce the FIRST symposium on epigenome editing! These tools are becoming widely used in mol bio, ag & therapy.

Always happy to discuss plants and chromatin 🌱🧬 Great questions from the students! Thanks for the opportunity 👨‍🏫

Today’s @thesainsburylab.bsky.social MSc lecture focused on epigenetics (broadly defined), delivered by our chromatin aficionado, @vgeshkovski.bsky.social

Siyu @siyusong.bsky.social introduced the concept of PCoA. She created this PCoA plot based on our lab members’ research interests. Quiz: Is Tatsuya, sitting in the middle, interested in everything or nothing? 🤔

DNA replication globally disrupts the epigenome. But does this create a chromatin-access opportunity for TF binding to facilitate cell identity change? Now 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢-𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐂-𝐬𝐞𝐪 shows 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘰 chromatin opening & TF binding occurs specifically post-replication, in cellular differentiation & reprogramming!
