It's out! Thanks to everyone involved giving me the opportunity to contribute!

It’s amazing how clearly he lays it out and how literally no one has picked it up.

For all those tempted to think centrism is the antidote to fascism. No, this is it. This is where it's at. We need a strong, decisive, anti-fascist left.

Happy to share our latest review, in which we discuss how small-scale 1D features of nucleosome positioning influence large-scale 3D genome folding patterns: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Great team work with Abrar Aljahani and Clemens Mauksch!

It’s finally out! 🥳 Today @cellcellpress we report non-mineral fossils of ancient chromosomes in skin from a woolly mammoth that died in Siberia, 52,000 years ago. 🦣💨 Don’t miss our thread below! 🧵👇🏽

experiment of the year

New preprint from the lab just dropped! Led by former PhD student Spiros Palikyras, our work explains how cells exploit the changed biochemistry of their nuclei to cluster CTCF on nuclear speckles and commit to the fate of senescence. A long(ish) thread... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is a great plan if the NIH wants to discourage people who are changing fields, taking on ambitious projects, or have any chance of family life disrupting their postdoc

Very excited to share the first preprint "Reconstitution of chromatin reorganization during mammalian oocyte development" from our lab🤞 Most of the experiments were done by my first PhD student Jing, who joined our lab at the second year of his PhD 😆 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PenguiN, our viral metagenomics assembler, just got accepted at BMC Microbiome! In contrast to the standard de Bruijn graphs assemblers, it uses all-vs-all alignment in linear time to merge reads. This allows it to often resolve severalfold more strains than dBG assemblers.

Our lab (papantonislab.eu) is still looking for a PhD candidate with a strong computational biology background and a keen interest for genome assembly and #3Dgenomics to join our subproject in the exciting EvoREST initiative on genome evolution. Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) Uni Göttingen

“Scientists must collectively advocate for reforms to how science is funded, who is funded, how governments define intellectual property regimes, and how scientists are incentivized,” argue Madhu Pai, MD, PhD and Ṣẹ̀yẹ Abímbọ́lá in a new #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/80E

Our annual tradition of sacrificing billionaires to appease Poseidon is going well I see

This is soo true! By far the best book I have ever studied with on the topic! Volume 1 and Volume 2 in combination is great for either self study or alongside a course!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've just started a new position as a leader of the Comparative Invertebrate Zoology group Institute of Evolutionary Biology UW. Thanks to funding from NAWA Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange I will keep working on my beloved catenulids. You can find more details here: bit.ly/3AOoCad

Extremely excited to share this work by Maik Engeholm out in Molecular Cell: Chd1 engages overlapping dinucleosomes, and collaborates with FACT to restore and remodel overlapping dinucleosomes. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10… Patrick Cramer

How is the information for cell type-specific interphase chromosome folding inherited through mitosis? In new work, led by Allana Schooley, we discovered that there are two ways, defining two distinct folding programs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
