The Robert laboratory studies the role of chromatin in gene expression.

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Our recent paper is online! Great work from @JeronimoCelia and fantastic collaborations on math modeling with Andrew Angel in Jane Melor's lab and on SMT with Jee Min Kim and Vu Nguyen in Carl Wu's lab. Also, nice help from lab members Christian Poitras and @Lambelie.

Online Now: FACT is recruited to the +1 nucleosome of transcribed genes and spreads in a Chd1-dependent manner https://t.co/f7lZx8zGnV

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Ever wondered what would happen if the TFIIH kinase module was separated from the TFIIH core?
Check out this new preprint from the Buratowski lab with contributions from @JeronimoCelia from our lab.

If you are in the Toronto area this Friday and are interested in FACT, come to my talk @UTMBiology.

[UTM Biology @UTMBiology]

#UTMBiology invites y'all to our #Seminar, this #Friday, Oct 28, noon, DV2080
Dr. Francois Robert @FRobertLab will lecture us on

@ircm_mtl @JohnsHopkins Fantastic talk from Carl Wu yesterday @ircm_mtl, followed by a great discussion.

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Fantastic talk from @AdelmanLab today at @ircm_mtl about the role of swi/snf at promoters and enhancers in mammalian cells.

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Our first lab lunch out in ages. We are saying goodbye to @yifeit73 who is going to @MIT for her PhD. We are very proud of her.

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Very Nice work from our colleague @MMalleshaiah

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Congrats JF!

[Jean-Francois Couture Lab @jfcouturelab]

It's finally here! Check out our paper in the latest issue of Science. Congrats @hosseindn and Alexis. Great collaboration with Jacob lab at Yale and our colleagues at @uOttawaBMI: @mamunoz1cl @EmilioIAlarcon1. Thanks to all other authors.https://t.co/KXz5LUZ6p0

If you are in the Montreal area, do not hesitate to drop your plasmids in our box.

[plasmidsaurus @plasmidsaurus]

Announcing our first Canadian dropbox 🇨🇦, at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal @ircm_mtl, in the corridor outside room 2015 (2nd floor). External users can give samples to the security agent at the entrance of 3688 St-Urbain. Shipping Wednesdays!

Nice review on the Mediator kinase module by @TaatjesL

[TaatjesLab @TaatjesL]

Check out our @TrendsBiochem review on the Mediator kinase module, highlighting work from @CramerLab, Espinosa, Firestein, @RobKlose, Kovarik, @FRobertLab, Serrano, Struhl, Tsai, and more. Open access: https://t.co/oTGxVOpHVX

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Our Institute is recruiting a PI! The IRCM (@ircm) is a great place to do research. Fantastic core facilities, access to students from @UMontreal and @mcgillu, research ranging from fundamental to clinical.... #generegulation #transcription #geneexpression #chromatin

[Michel Cayouette @MichelCayouette]

We have a PI position open @ircm_mtl ! Excited to have new colleagues! The IRCM is a great environment with fantastic core facilities and an ideal place to start a lab! Come join us!

Congrats John 👍

[John Pascal Lab @LabPascal]

Our new paper on PARP1/2 and HPF1 is out @Naturecommunications!

HPF1 dynamically controls the PARP1/2 balance between initiating and elongating ADP-ribose modifications https://t.co/PubyiOH5ph

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

I second that.

[Francois Robert @FRobertLab]

Nice work from @M_Saleh90 and @gabezentner. Glad that @JeronimoCelia and I could contribute a little bit.

[PLOS Genetics @PLOSGenetics]

Saleh et al study the role of #yeast Mediator coactivator complex subunit 16

They show that Med16 removal downregulates #genes dependent on the SAGA complex and upregulates genes dependent on the TFIID complex
