Postdoc🚨! Come join our HFSP team to uncover how chromatin moves in cells and what this means for genome function! Great opportunity to combine single-cell genomics, live imaging and polymer physics in the unique mammalian retina with @andersshansen.bsky.social, Davide Michieletto & Sandra Tenreiro

Great to see this published @genesdev.bsky.social. Evidence that enhancers can activate a bystander gene in an adjacent TAD, and that cohesin facilitates this. @uoe-igc.bsky.social. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40436628/

What happens if an expression construct has strong predicted splice donor sites inside the ORF? Would removing them increase protein expression?

Three-dimensional organization of amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has fascinating features! Very prominent dots at between convergent gene positions, something never really seen for other species. More about the puzzle and how the team of my PhD colleagues resolves it: doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Excited to share James Jusuf's preprint: By integrating Micro-C with SuperRes Live-Imaging we can calibrate genomics&imaging to perform absolute quantification of looping (e.g. this loop is present 3%) We quantify mESC 36k loops: <loops> are generally rare (2.3%) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Couldn't agree more with Paul Nurse that “Research institutes and units play a unique, beneficial role in the UK’s RDI landscape and this sector should be expanded....” So the MRC should rethink their regressive decision to close MRC Units. www.science.org/content/arti...

🌟 if you're thinking about becoming a #mentor but unsure: Your unique experiences can guide and #inspire others! 💙 It might be intimidating to label oneself a "mentor", but mentoring is about sharing your journey, not having all the answers, and you can help at any stage of your #ScientificCareer

Now for a science question. Does anyone know of an alternative to ERT2/tamoxifen for tight control of protein activity (e.g. recombinase) in tissue culture cells? Tetracycin promoter could work for inducible transcription, but requires to express an extra protein, so less convenient.

For my first real post here, I want to advertise Sci.STEPS - an international mentoring program for scientists I am co-organizing. We are recruiting mentors right now! Check it out and join us for the next season. www.scisteps.org/call-2025 We welcome anyone related to science in any shape or form!
