🚨 New preprint from the lab. SMC-mediated loop extrusion organizes the 3D genome. But how does this process—well characterized in vitro on naked DNA—navigate the crowded, nucleosome-dense chromatin landscape? Check the tweetorial below ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

(1/9) Excited to share my preprint on Polycomb 3D chromatin interactions from my postdoc with @andersshansen.bsky.social! We were surprised to find that canonical PRC1 doesn't seem to be the only contributor to these interactions: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our paper on apoptotic chromatin compaction is out now! Take a look in @embojournal.org, where we investigate compaction in living and dying cells, and show that histone deacetylation prevents DNA from spilling into extracellular vesicles in apoptosis @gerlichlab.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social

How does gene expression change during regeneration? Are specific enhancers activated or is there extensive genome re-modelling? Working with the team of Guillermo Orsi, we show that insect (cricket) and crustacean (Parhyale) genomes become re-modelled on a genome-wide scale.
