Enjoyed three days at #EMBOMobileGenome —fantastic talks and inspiring discussions on TE regulation across diverse model systems, great community! Excited to share our recent work on solo LTR silencing in S. pombe via talk and poster by @vishnuss.bsky.social. @pombase.bsky.social @embo.org

Impressive study and great talk at #EMBOMobileGenome! Enjoyed it a lot!

Having a lot of fun at #EMBOMobileGenome 😃 Perfect timing for our paper from the lab of @toddmacfarlan.bsky.social to be out @natcomms.nature.com!! …and I’m currently on the job market looking for a new scientific home! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A conserved H3K14ub-driven H3K9me3 for chromatin compartmentalization www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new @narjournal.bsky.social paper! Using ReLo and AlphaFold, we described a network of interactions between Drosophila piRNA pathway factors suggesting new links how they coordinate to ensure transposon silencing and genome integrity. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Our latest paper on a histone methyltransferase-independent function of PRC2 controlling small RNA dynamics during programmed DNA elimination in Paramecium is now published in #NAR. #RNAbiology #TEsky #smallRNAs #PRC2 #DNAelimination 1/5 academic.oup.com/nar/article-...

Wonderful opportunity to work with Martin Howard and my group trying to understand how chromatin influences gene transcription and expression. Integration of theory, modelling, and experimentation. Come and join the team! Please repost! jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?...

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died. A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio. An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers www.magd.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...

Today I am so pleased to present our work on how chromatin remodelers affect mesoscale chromatin organization. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This one feels special: our latest work on subtelomeric heterochromatin is now on www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... This story was driven by the virtuoso PhD work of Agnisrota Mazumder @agnisrota.bsky.social, co-mentored with @al-sadylab.bsky.social, and grew out of our #MSCA Cell2Cell network.

Amazing 2. day at the GfG ‘Epigenetics & Chromatin’ symposium. Fantastic flash talks, a great first poster session and many memorable talks: among others @erhardtlab.bsky.social, @rodvilla.bsky.social, @thebraunlab.bsky.social, @flurylab.bsky.social, Ehrenhofer-Murray, Liefke, Heun, Imhof & Brehm.

What a great first day at the GfG symposium on epigenetics & chromatin. Fantastic talks by @akispapantonis.bsky.social , @apombo1.bsky.social, @marcusbuschbeck.bsky.social and Philipp Korber. And Peter Becker giving the Max-Delbrueck lecture. A real treat for the audience!

We have lift off!! 🚀 Yesterday was the official opening of EpiC! The DNRF Center for Epigenetic Cell Memory at the Danish Cancer Institute! Our EpiC team with director Anja Groth @groth-anja.bsky.social, were joined by Jesper Fisker, CEO @cancer.dk & Niels Mejlgaar, CEO @dg.dk to celebrate 🎉

Excited to share our newest results on ZNF512B: It not only regulates chromatin organization, binds NuRD and H2A.Z, and acts as transcriptional repressor (Wunderlich et al., NAR, 2024), it also participates in mitosis and is crucial for stem cell differentiation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations, Dr. Kalita!!!

Farewell to guest student Rosario Brockhausen (Constructor Univ. Bremen) 🎉 . In just 2 months she made big strides, key manuscript contributions & was a wonderful colleague. Hope to see her back soon! 👋

New paper out by RTG2355 members Jennifer Kothe, Theresa Dietz, Robina Scheuer & Elena Evguenieva-Hackenberg, identifying a new attenuation mechanism that apparently monitors ribosome availability and translation efficiency in the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti

The nuclear lamina strengthens the nucleus and organizes the genome. So what happens when you acutely degrade it in living cells? Not what we thought! (1/n) www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...

Exciting paper on how the nuclear envelope talks to chromatin!

🧪 Open PhD or Postdoc position 🧪 The project is in collaboration with my new collegue Miha Modic. If you are interesed in RNA modification, centromeres and bioinformatics this is for you! Miha has more positions to fill, infos on his linkedin: linkedin.com/in/miha-modic-9aa8a752.

We're looking forward to the GfG “Epigenetics & Chromatin” Symposium in Giessen, Sept 24–26! Fantastic chance to learn from leading experts, connect with fellow researchers, and compete for €300 poster and talk prizes (plus free membership!). Hope to see you there! #Epigenetics #ChromatinCommunity

Novel insights into the silencing of an understudied transposable element - check out our latest preprint by @jakobschnabl.bsky.social and colleagues

Hey there, Our latest paper is out in Cell. We made a knockout collection in a human fungal pathogen, performed over 140 screens, and developed 6 follow up stories. Phenotypic landscape of an invasive fungal pathogen reveals its unique biology Share link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1lFMiL7PXu...

What a day! Very proud and truly happy as Karl @kcfo1.bsky.social wonderfully defended his PhD at LMU Munich. 🎓 Such a special moment for us all — celebrating a fantastic teammate and long-pillar of the lab. Great to have the team from @jlugiessen.bsky.social join us. Huge congrats, Dr. Olsen! 🥂👏

Since April, we have been busy curating pathways using GO-CAM pathway modelling. So far, 466 proteins (33 pathways) have been modelled. We have modelled signalling pathways, metabolic pathways, and other processes. The full list is here: www.pombase.org/documentatio..., and will increase weekly!

You can apply to our postdoc position until 12 Jan: We are looking for a Postdoc in Functional Genomics to examine the roles of conserved yet unstudied proteins, focusing on cellular quiescence and ageing. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Happy to join Bluesky! We have news for friends of RNA in fission and budding yeast - our census of RNA-dependent proteins is online: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We are using R-DeeP (pioneered by @maiwen-ch.bsky.social) @pombase.bsky.social & @yeastgenome.bsky.social (1/n)

Thanks to TJ and Asifa for the opportunity to participate in the 224 Freiburg Epigenetics Conference. This MPI represents a unique and important scientific enterprise that will will stand the test of time. A pleasure to part of this event!

@pombase.bsky.social now using InterPro release 103.0, with the update to Pfam 37.1. It was a little slower than usual because our developer has COVID 😷.
