Today in @nature.com, the @genophoria.bsky.social and & Vijay Ramani labs reveal that our picture of how nucleosomes regulate DNA accessibility has been too simple. They find that over 85% of nucleosomes in mammalian cells are structurally distorted, with DNA partially accessible even while wrapped.

Congrats to Gary Karpen on his election to the National Academy of Sciences. A win for model organisms and basic (chromosome) science!

This is definitely something that should be discussed before implementation. Read and provide feedback. What we need is more funding, not more restrictions. A particularly bad move for Starting, and specially, Consolidator stage.
