Choose Science. Choose Europe. A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open. With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond. Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF

Cell cycle duration determines oncogenic transformation capacity Tumours usually originate from a specific cell type in a given tissue; cell types that have faster cycles are more likely to become cancerous 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us!!!

🔬 New from the Farnung Lab: We established a fully in vitro reconstituted chromatin replication system and report the first cryo-EM snapshots of the human replisome engaging nucleosomes. Brilliant work by @felixsteinruecke.bsky.social with support from @jonmarkert.bsky.social! tinyurl.com/replisome

It has been bittersweet last week, when we bid farewell to Pedro and Prasanthi who are embarking on a new adventure!🥹 Thanks a lot for all the hard work and high spirit!🙏

IMBA is recruiting a Junior Group Leader! Are you interested in starting your own lab, pursuing curiosity-driven basic research in the life sciences? Apply now to our group leader position. The deadline is May 28. Link is below.

We are seeking a new colleague to join us at the Vienna BioCenter, specifically at my beloved home institution, IMBA @imbavienna.bsky.social we value collegiality and a passion for curiosity driven science. Being a great and fun human being also helps!

Don't miss this exciting conference dedicated to the study of gene expression regulation, one molecule at a time! Technologies ranging from (epi)genomics, (epi)transcriptomics, to functional (epi)genetics and imaging! @stirlingchurchman.bsky.social @laghalab.bsky.social @arnaudkr.bsky.social

📢 Job Alert! The Faculty of #Biology of the @uni-freiburg.de is seeking for a researcher with a competitive, internationally visible profile in #ChemicalBiology focusing on #BiologicalSignallingResearch. Join us and apply by 28 February, 25! More info: uni-freiburg.de/stellenangeb...

Unpause! I'm super happy to now be able to share the published version of our paper at Science Advances showing that: 1) active histone mods occur independently of transcription 2) transcription coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

✨ Excited to share my latest preprint on how H3K4 methylation promotes transcriptional memory from gametes to embryos across a transcriptionally silent window — crucial for proper zygotic genome activation and development. 🐸🧬✨ 📄 Check it out here:

Big congrats and welcome to Freiburg!🤗 Exciting times ahead!🤩

Happy holidays from the very first @flurylab.bsky.social christmas dinner! We had lots of fun and even more cheese😅

We are looking for new group leaders. If RNA is your thing, and/or computational biology and you want to start your own group, check out these links. Feel free to contact me about these! And, please help me spread this. Thanks! www.imb.de/jobs/jobdeta... www.imb.de/jobs/jobdeta...

Many other super lab members not (yet) on Bluesky! So finally, two postdocs that just moved on... @denbobalab.bsky.social has established his group at MPI on #microbiome-germline axis. @mdura.bsky.social has just preprinted on #intergenerational-inheritance and is on the market! Check them out!

Fascinating talk on chromatin replication by @flurylab.bsky.social of @mpi-ie.bsky.social today. Thanks for organizing @cibss.bsky.social @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social!

Please join this starter pack for everyone working from chromatin replication to epigenetic inheritance and cell fate! Now still small, but we hope to gather everyone interested in joining. Please message us to be added, go.bsky.app/ALFFRUN

My first post on Blue Sky - moving over ! For all post-docs out there - fantastic opportunity @EMBL. Independent group leader position: Core funding, state-of-the-art core facilities, access to fantastic Ph.D. students, and of course amazing colleagues. Please apply www.embl.org/jobs/positio...

We are establishing an open access infrastructure for optical pooled screening and looking for a computational scientist to join us for this great adventure. Come to Copenhagen and be part of a great scientific community: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

The latest from our group, led by Megan Ostrowski and @martyyang.bsky.social, is now published in final form (www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...! Many thanks to our excellent peer reviewers for suggesting several experiments (including CAF-1 perturbation) to really improve the study =) #epigenetics

Polycomb restores H2A ubiquitin By read-write action #ChromatinHaiku #ncPRC1-RYBP www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Please see our paper in Nature on read-write mechanisms of H2AK119 ubiquitination by Polycomb repressive complex I. Congrats to the whole team, especially Victoria and huge thanks to our collaborator JP Armache! Also big thanks to Mark Foundation for Cancer Research for the support! rdcu.be/dZ5HZ

The peer-reviewed version of our paper is out! Thanks to all co-authors, editor and reviewers for the smooth process 🤓🎉 And don’t miss the chromatin haiku! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

New conference that will explore gene regulation mechanisms at molecular resolution. We bring bring together a fine crowd that uses microscopy, genomics and theory to chart the future of the booming fields of #singlemoleculegenomics and #singlemoleculemicroscopy. Join us July 15-18th 2025 at EMBL

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

Great to see Aleks Szczurek's paper out today! A wonderful team effort with Emilia Dimitrova, Jess Kelley, and Neil Blackledge. Have a look if you are interested in how Polycomb controls transcription to repress gene expression. rdcu.be/dTD3t
