😊 New preprint! In budding yeast, Dna2-intrinsic condensation regulates long-range DNA-end resection. Analyses suggest redistribution of condensate grammar in humans. Congrats to Chris Jordan and the Mekhail, Wyatt, Cowen & Hakem labs! More to come soon. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thrilled to share a new important study from the lab, published today in @nature.com, showing how cohesin mediates efficient replication fork plasticity and stress response, using its loop extrusion activity to promote 3D contacts on replicating DNA: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
