Some news 🎉
After five incredible years in Tübingen, it’s time to say goodbye.

Starting February, the Mutualisms Lab will relocate to the John Innes Centre, right next door to @berasymbionts.bsky.social and her group at The Sainsbury Laboratory 🪲🦠

Unpause! I'm super happy to now be able to share the published version of our paper at Science Advances showing that:
1) active histone mods occur independently of transcription
2) transcription coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
RNA polymerase II coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters
Transcription initiation limits histone acetylation and H2AZ incorporation at promoters.

When publication becomes a graduation requirement, the student’s fate depends far more on the efficiency of their environment than on their talent or effort. That’s not academic excellence, that’s structural luck.

Fun week for DNA methylation research! Here is a thread of three cool papers that came out, all with an evolution angle. And a bonus 4th that examines DNAme/PcG interplay (certainly an interest for our lab!) #Epigenetics

Out today, our take on 6-methyladenine #6mA evolution in Eukaryotes @natgenet.nature.com. We asked a simple question, is really DNA 6mA common across the eukaryotes? The answer is "yes" if you're a unicellular eukaryote 🦠, not so if you're multicellular 🐝🌱🍄. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9
Adenine DNA methylation associated with transcriptionally permissive chromatin is widespread across eukaryotes - Nature Genetics
Long-read sequencing in 18 unicellular eukaryotes reveals that 6mA is widespread across eukaryotes and is enriched at transcriptionally permissive regions, which are also marked by H3K4me3.

With Watson's death can we stop teaching his simplified version of the Central Dogma (DNA-RNA-protein) & instead teach what Crick actually proposed? It promotes understanding & critical thinking. wellcomecollection.org/works/xmscu3...
A drawing that Crick did of the Central Dogma "“Once information has got into a protein it can’t get out again.” Information here means the sequence of the amino acid residues, or other sequence related to it. This is we ma be able to have DNA to RNA (arrow connecting), RNA to protein (arrow again), DNA to protein (arrow connecting), and DNA to DNA (circular arrow of DNA back to DNA) or RNA to RNA (circular arrow). But never protein to protein, protein to RNA, or protein to DNA.
