Happy to share two post-doc papers co-authored with the amazing @AnaMonteagudo4 and @teresa_urli. We had amazing collaborators for both projects, even our supervisor @maxvcg joined in on the experimenting! 1: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39180406/ 2: rdcu.be/dXXqh

Happy to see this was published yesterday! It was great working on this with Shankar and @ShifaanT. And thank you to the great editorial team at @NatRevMCB.

Congratulations to our 2024 Genetics Society medal winner, Robert Martienssen. Rob is sharing his work on Germline small RNAs, the triploid block and the drive for maize domestication #GSTransposons @CSHLplants

The HuSH complex silences retrotransposable elements. We identify HuSH2, centered on TASOR2, targeting KRAB-ZNFs and interferon genes, balancing retrotransposon silencing and immune regulation. nature.com/articles/s4146…

excited to share COMET! A scalable CRISPR approach we (@carwils) developed to identify multidomain proteins that modulate transcription at specific endogenous genomic loci. @arcinstitute @ucsf doi.org/10.1101/2024.1…

Does 6mA exist in eukaryotic DNA? This is our take on this dispute: yes it does, and can be very abundant, but mostly correlates with presence of the MT-A70 writer AMT1. Then, 6mA is associated with transcriptionally-permissive chromatin (H3K4me3) 1/6: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
