Happy to share our last review on replicative gaps and sensitivity to PARP inhibitors. Where is my gap ? have a look ! portlandpress.com/biochemsoctran… @BiochemSoc
Well deserved!
The #EMGS is pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Samuel H. Wilson Award for Studies on DNA Repair, Dr. Mark Hedglin, PhD! Don't miss his presentation, "Rad6 Is Dynamically Accessible for Activation Within the Rad6(Rad18)2 Complex: Mechanistic Insights into a Ubiquitin…

🛟Wow cyclic peptides are cool! Excited to share a new publication on "Potent Cyclic Peptide Inhibitors Disrupt the FANCM–RMI Interaction". Work led by @yuhenglau to which we contributed structures and ideas. The top hits mimic native MM2...but in reverse! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Three days, fresh data, & sparkly debates on how replication gaps drive cancer & disease. Grateful for every talk & discussion. Thank you for pushing science forward—next stop: great papers. Science moves fast when we move together! @CicciaAlberto @LabVincenzo
📢 For all DNA fiber enthusiasts! 🟥🟩 We are thrilled to announce the release of our long-awaited AI-based workflow for the automated and quantitative analysis of DNA fibers. It's an exciting step forward—check it out on bioRxiv! lnkd.in/dQWUPtsP
Our new preprint is now on bioRxiv! 📄 We introduce qAID, an AI-based workflow for automated analysis of DNA replication dynamics. Glad to have contributed a small part to this study.
