Nucleosome aficionados! Our new review "Nucleosome spacing across cell types, diseases, and ages" is out in NAR: https://t.co/Z1TgEYxBH8
A huge effort to pull together what we’ve learned about nucleosome spacing in many systems. Enjoy!

6/ A fantastic collaboration between the
@DavidovichLab and the @Eddy_McGlinn labs, led by a brilliant PhD student, @SamAgius0, who is now looking for a postdoc position!
5/ We propose that H3K27me3 mimicry has repeatedly emerged during evolution as a mechanism to antagonise PRC2 and restrict the spread of Polycomb domains.
I am delighted to share our characterisation of natural antagonism of TLR7/8 in Nature Immunology. We propose a model where 2’O-Methyl RNA fragments keep TLR7/8 in check, preventing autoimmunity. > https://t.co/Kh8y8C8pMw
AlphaGenome paper and models are out today! https://t.co/WHejipHfu7. We have seen great community engagement since we released the API. We hope to open more use cases with the model weights! https://t.co/TUfKPeOYyY
We updated the supplementary note with some very interesting case studies. I encourage everyone using AlphaGenome for non-coding variant interpretation to read it.
It was a huge team effort, I’m very proud of all of our co-authors @googledeepmind!
Excited to share our latest preprint: "SWARM: A Single-Molecule Workflow for High-Precision Profiling of RNA Modifications" https://t.co/KceYfGMCho

1/ 🚀 AEBP2 isn’t what we thought.
You were told that AEBP2 promotes PRC2 activity on chromatin. We found the opposite: the most prevalent AEBP2 isoform inhibits PRC2 activity.

1/ It's long been assumed that AEBP2 recruit PRC2 to chromatin. Now, we show that AEBP2 usually does the exact opposite:
The only isoform of AEBP2 that is expressed in most cell types and tissues inhibits the chromatin-binding activity of PRC2. https://t.co/WpJ8EETV1p
