Can anyone advise on the quality of plasmidsaurus RNAseq compared to other services in the UK please?

Paper alert from @codyz.bsky.social y.social and Yang Liu. New mechanism for chromatin remodeling by ATRX. Super cool story. Congrats to #lugerlab alumni.

Dr Christopher Switzer from the University of Leicester gave a great chemical biology perspective on Reactive Sulphur Species involvement in the hypoxia response today in Liverpool. Very impressed.

Post-replicative chromatin accessibility predicts cell fate change Knudsen and colleagues use repli-ATAC-seq to compare replicated and unreplicated chromatin in two models of cell identity change. They find that lineage-specific elements are accessible earlier in rep...

DNA replication globally disrupts the epigenome. But does this create a chromatin-access opportunity for TF binding to facilitate cell identity change? Now 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢-𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐂-𝐬𝐞𝐪 shows 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘰 chromatin opening & TF binding occurs specifically post-replication, in cellular differentiation & reprogramming!

The UKRI grants pause risks forcing out mid-career medical researchers The fact that a mere few months’ hiatus imperils the futures of those without permanent posts underlines the fragility of UK biomedicine, says a researcher

New group leaders on temporary contracts in the UK were already under a lot of pressure

Congrats Nezha!

Less Survivable Cancers receive just 19% of research funding despite causing 40% of all cancer deaths. This glaring inequality is why we're calling for government to #CloseTheResearchGap. @lesssurvivable.bsky.social

J-domain proteins: from molecular mechanisms to diseases

We wrote a paper on the conference about JDPs in Gdansk and I have several of my latest research explained and presented in it.

A few days left to apply for exciting PhD and Postdoc opportunities in wonderful Copenhagen and join our efforts in understanding Epigenetic Cell Memory.

Well done Hana! Great news 🙂

Great opportunity!

The caterpillar, an epigenetic wonder! Recent birthday celebrations in the lab.

Our latest paper has just been published in Cell!

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

This is very cool!

12 and a bit 5km runs in October, challenge complete! Thanks for all the sponsorship. £585 raised for Cancer Research, and almost £1M nationally - which is amazing! @cancerresearchuk.org

Another great opportunity for a PhD linking hypoxia to cell matrix mechanobiology!

Spatial biology in neuro-oncology award certificate for Michael Müther and Colin Hammond. Awarded by standard biotools and the european association of neuro-oncology.

Very excited to receive this Spatial Biology in Neuro-Oncology Grant to pump-prime our studies into histone supply biology in high grade glioma patient samples!

Thanks to @standardbiotools.bsky.social and @eanoassociation.bsky.social for your generous support!🙂

🥳🧬🙌Exciting times ahead!! 🤸🧬🥳

Great opportunities for chromatin transcription related PhDs or a postdoc, with a cool boss in Birmingham!

That's £10 per km. Thanks a lot for all the donations!

Thats me finished my 10th 5k in October! My best time yet, 26 min 40s. Sponsorship goes to @cancerresearchuk.org

£355 raised so far, please sponsor it all goes to a good cause.
