Happy to share our latest publication, in which we show that the arrangement of nucleosomes around CTCF sites contributes to higher-order organisation of chromatin into TADs: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

(1/n) Excited to present the latest work from the de Wit lab, where we identify and characterise loop extrusion-mediated fountains in mammalian genomes using acute depletion of 3D genome regulators: doi.org/10.1093/nar/.... A Bluetorial🧵:
Extrusion fountains are restricted by WAPL-dependent cohesin release and CTCF barriers
Abstract. Interphase chromosomes are mainly shaped by loop extrusion and compartmentalisation mechanisms. However, their temporal component and cause-effec

Very happy to share the peer-reviewed version of our paper in which we study the formation and function of pair-wise and multi-way enhancer-promoter interactions in gene regulation (see thread below): www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nature research paper: Extensive mutual influences of SMC complexes shape 3D genome folding

Extensive mutual influences of SMC complexes shape 3D genome folding - Nature
Orthogonal acute inducible degradation cell lines are used to delineate the mechanisms of how extrusive cohesin, cohesive cohesin and condensin interact to remodel chromosome architecture from interphase to mitosis.

🔥New Night Science paper!!
Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Our new findings on how chromosomes get ready for cell division are now published in @cellpress.bsky.social!

Congratulations, Kai, @andibrunner.bsky.social and everyone else involved! 🤩

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

Scientists led by Melina Schuh & @ninadini.bsky.social @schuhlab.bsky.social have shown in mice that aged egg cells repair their #DNA less efficiently than young ones, and that repair becomes more error-prone with advancing maternal age. ⬇️

New preprint from the @gerlichlab.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social!

How do DNA breaks locate homology sites in the vast space of the human genome? We show how cohesin guides homology search for faithful repair!
