Our new review on how the #chromatin domain is formed in the cell is now available @Curr Opin Struct Biol.📄✨ We critically discuss the domain formation mechanism from a physical perspective, including #phase-separation and #condensation. 📥 Free-download link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1keGn,LqAr...

Making intrabodies from antibodies just got easier! Learn how we made đťź­đťźµ intrabodies to bind and light up peptides and histone modifications in live cells. And thanks to Academia, all sequences are freely available. (video credit: Yuko Sato @YukoSatoT2) (1/15) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/n Excited to share our new preprint! Using live imaging in Drosophila embryos, we show that RNA Pol II clusters switch from sites of initiation to elongation during zygotic genome activation and that they are stably associated with an active gene: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share my recent work on designing new Hsp70 activators to regulate condensates, and thus reveal their functions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @uwproteindesign.bsky.social @cp-cellchembiol.bsky.social

Hasta pusieron a una Lilia Lemoine en la Comision de CyT. Yo hago ravioles, ella hace ravioles.

Our latest work: how can compartmentalization emerge in a eukaryotic genome lacking canonical heterochromatin? By investigating bacterial genomes put in yeast, we show that the presence or absence of transcription is sufficient! #chromatin #3Dgenome #generegulation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 👇

Very interesting Perspective regarding role of loop extrusion by cohesin on genome organization and function (!)

Genome architecture folks, this perspective is really worth your time www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
