*Recruiting new group leaders*
The @lmcb-ucl.bsky.social at University College London are looking for outstanding candidates to sponsor for career development fellowships. Fellows would then be assessed for tenured positions at the end of the fellowship term.
1/3 New bioRxiv preprint from the lab: βMinute-scale coupling of chromatin marks and transcriptional burstsβ. Led by Xiohui Gao & Chaebeen Ko. bioRxiv : www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
Brain with puzzle overlay to show that our study provides missing pieces of the puzzle of human brain development by delivering the most comprehensive picture of hindbrain development to date. We have strived to go beyond just another multi-omics atlas to gain deep insights by: 1. Meticulously annotating cell clusters 2. Extracting regulatory programs in terms of coordinated gene sets and accessible regulatory elements 3. Using deep learning to identify regulatory syntax 4. Resolving context-specific TF activity
Excited to share our preprint on our new multi-omic atlas of human hindbrain development. Led by postdoc Piyush Joshi, in collaboration with @kaessmannlab.bsky.social and Pfister labs, our atlas represents the first comprehensive view of human hindbrain development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
'The regularization effort underway in Spain actually began as a citizen-led initiative endorsed by more than 900 nongovernmental organizations, including the Catholic Church, and it has the support of business associations and trade unions alike.'

happy i could be a part of this paper from the Gilan lab out now. Along with many other things, it provides strong evidence of chromatin memory for gene activation, and suggests that DOT1L is the missing link balancing the fast and slow arms of the MLL/Polycomb axis
Ad for a postdoc position in centromere biology with colorful chromosomes and centromeres made out of FIMO.
π§ͺ My lab has an opening for a postdoc position soon! Please share/get in touch!
Today in @natgenet.nature.com, we report a saturation genome editing study that systematically dissects the degron of Ξ²-Catenin, which contains 5 of the 25 most frequently mutated regions of the human cancer genome, and >70 recurrent missense mutations.

Congratulations Pradeep!
Check out our new findings showing BRD4's role in preventing the premature activation of developmental transcription factors via #Polycomb, providing new mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorder #CdLS #NDDs, #chromatinopathies www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
An example of a voter suppression ad on Facebook. This ad was part of a Russian election interference campaign.
Exposure to voter suppression ads on Facebookβwhich targeted non-White residents of battleground statesβwas associated with a 1.9% decrease in voter turnout in the 2016 election, representing approximately 4.7 million fewer votes nationwide. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/HJGf50Y7FPG

Synovial sarcoma is driven almost exclusively by a single oncofusion β SS18-SSX
For years, the assumptions on disease mechanisms were simple:
β‘οΈ SS18-SSX works by hijacking SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling activity
Our new study shows that assumption was wrong π§΅π

I did not know she was on Bluesky, but this whole work was led by @afroditisotiriou.bsky.social, a truly talented scientist that will finish her PhD this year and has not started looking for postdoc positions yet...
Also very cool co-ordinated back-to-back with a sister preprint from colleagues (and office mate) @gerrybrien.bsky.social reporting the same finding π€

SS18::SSX activates Polycomb target genes without BAF β
Instead, transcription relies on EP300 via the SS18 QPGY domain

Anyone know anything about Jennifer Harvey, who first isolated the virus containing HRAS (Harvey-Ras) at Mill Hill in 1967?
Prepping a lecture including the discovery of Ras oncogenes and wanted to add pics of the scientists involved.

Yes, this is where you would work (the round building, not the boat)
We are looking for a postdoc to join our team! If you're interested in translating a cutting edge genomics technology (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) to real-life applications in hematology, this is for you. We offer a unique working environment ON THE BEACH: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs...
We have an exciting PhD opportunity through the EASTBIO programme, co-supervised with Diego OyarzΓΊn. This project combines synthetic and systems biology to uncover the gene-regulatory circuitry hijacked in a cancer model. Weβre looking for candidates with a strong interest in functional genomics.
I'm a longtime fan of Affinity Designer as an affordable Illustrator-killer for figures, and... it's now free?! www.canva.com/newsroom/new...
Highly recommended if you're sick of paying Adobe $. Maybe Canva can buy NPG too and get rid of the OA fees.
