Giunta Lab of Genome Evolution @ University of Rome Sapienza. We study human centromeres' tug-of-war between fast evolution & essential function. AIRC funded.
We have some BIG news! @Simona_Giunta has been awarded an ERC STARTING GRANT from the @ERC_Research for her project "CentroFUN". Full news here: https://t.co/UishBZRd8e
We are incredibly happy, grateful & ready to celebrate @SapienzaRoma today - all welcome! 🍾🥂🧬

What is the molecular basis for maintaining centromere size and position? In a great collaboration with @NAltemose@GiuntaLab and @FachinettiLab labs, we investigate the long standing question of how heterochromatin maintains centromere size/position! https://t.co/I41gYDcL8B
I am starting a new video series called WAY COOL GENOMICS! Join me as I showcase examples where genomics is used in a study that is important, impactful, – and just plain WAY COOL!
Two exciting opportunities for suitably qualified postgraduates/postdocs to join the Steve Jackson lab at the world renowned @CRUK_CI@Cambridge_Uni, https://t.co/OEog9BGuS2 and https://t.co/dL8MEl4PRf. Come join us!

Dear community, we are very happy to announce the next Giin webinar!! Don't miss it on Tuesday, April 9th, from 5PM Rome (11AM NYC), with Stephen Jackson @SPJacksonGroup and Simona Giunta @Simona_Giunta. Zoom link: https://t.co/V7xPTI4YNK
What have we been doing since starting the lab in 2021? Assembling human genomes & studying their centromeres at basepair resolution. A new era of epigenomic is here! Check out our first work on preprint, constructive feedback wlecome 🧬🧫❣️NB.This work is supported by @AIRC_it
🧬Complete Human Diploid Genome Alert❗️
So proud to share our first work as @GiuntaLab now on bioRvix - a monumental feat for a single lab assembling T2T RPE1 as a new reference to achieve epigenetic precision:
It's not just the length but how you use it!😊https://t.co/W3jT06z5wE
@Simona_Giunta sharing with the scientific community the new word she invented "isogenomic" and showing why that's important. Thanks to @nanopore for a fantastic #NanoporeConf - more great things to come, watch this space! 🧬🧫🤗
