While it is hard to predict ahead of time *what* the actual discoveries will be that we will make together, it is relatively safe to assume *that* they will happen. Welcome new T-Track Prof. Miha Modic @paraspeckle.bsky.social to @kit.edu Karlsruhe I am so very excited to have you with us now!

All you nuclear biologists out there: Here is a cautionary tale not to be fooled by peripheral organelle staining. It might just be that your antibody got trapped because it is "too good".

Wow, some of *the* nuclei labeling experts are addressing the “ring staining problem”. I can confirm this observation, I’ve seen a lot of our samples affected by it, good to have a systematic account of the phenomenon!

You know what happens when you release this stretched DNA-hydrogel from the pipette? It snaps right back! With help of Niemeyer Lab @kit.edu our Chiara Schmitt made this gel from a circular DNA template by Rolling Circle Amplification. We plan to mimic spatial sorting known from “real” chromatin.

Sadly, me, for the past two years; so many challenges impacting my ability for productive research and teaching Sorry to the many colleagues, trainees, and students affected, and, sorry to myself :-/

New review that is a positively easy read, summing up two findings that, each, totally changed my view of transcription factories: Transcription factors can hand over from one to the next within minutes Transcription factories exert non-local control by sequestering machinery from remote genes 👏👏

If you happen to be in Regensburg at DPG German Physical Society, check out our PhD student Aaron Gadzekpo’s talk today Monday 10:30 :-D He’ll present amazing new results on scale-bridging simulations of phase-separation of artificial DNA-nanomotifs. Location is lecture hall H44, come by!
