Diversity of topics, interdisciplinary environment and excellent platform support! Recommended!

We identify robust replication origins functioning across diverse chromosomal contexts and confirm a model where CFSs arise from transcription-dependent repression.
Congrats to J. Mandelbrojt, C. Tonnerre-Doncarli, T. Baret, A. Masson. A great collaboration with M. Debatisse.

Transcription at an inducible common fragile site reveals replication origin strength hierarchy Abstract. While genome-wide analyses in vertebrates suggest that transcription negatively regulates replication origin activation, thereby shaping the land

A H3K27me3 reader complex couples H3K27me3 accumulation to nascent transcription of transposable elements in Paramecium - Genome Biology Background The ability to deposit histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks is essential for transcriptional repression by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). This is largely attributed to Polycomb repres...

Flyer for symposium: https://ctrlepiedit.sciencesconf.org/

Very excited to announce the FIRST symposium on epigenome editing! These tools are becoming widely used in mol bio, ag & therapy. It's time to bring leaders together to discuss this rapidly growing and exciting field. And why not in Paris! Please register & share! (1/2) ctrlepiedit.sciencesconf.org

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ever worried that your redesigned genome might not replicate as expected? Well, help is at hand with a genome language model for replication origins from the Boemo lab (with a little bit of help with some new data from us). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am very happy (and a bit scared) to present to you what we have been working on over the last 4 years. This manuscript is exactly what I dreamt of when I started the lab and I could not be happier and prouder of the outcome!
