Dear #Epigenetics Friends & Colleagues – Do YOU know where your histones are?
Our Xmas prezzie to the community (and perfect holiday reading): we went hunting for #histones and found them in all sorts of weird and wonderful places.

My lab has been working for the past 15 years to develop a method to isolate specific genomic loci to identify its chromatin composition & protein interactome. Finally,… our superb physician/scientist Dr. Bercin Cenik @bkcenik did it and here it is https://t.co/f0vKe8pCFS Not only was she able to develop this method, which she calls TurboCAS, she was able to identify known & novel regulators of heat shock & Myc expression. Cannot wait to see what Bercin and TurboCAS will discover about the molecular basis of transcriptional regulation with great impact on clinic in the next few years! @NU_BMG_SQE@NUFeinbergMed@MolecularCell
We had an amazing X-Mas party with members of the Institute for Genetics! 🎄✨
Games, drinks, singing, and a lovely dinner. Many thanks to this incredible team of brilliant and caring scientists. Truly an honor to be part of this unique research family! ❤️
@mpgpresident Es war schön dich wiederzusehen, Patrick!
Du hast eine sehr beeindruckende Rede gehalten, die nachdenklich machte, aber uns gleichzeitig auch inspiriert.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit, die du für uns WissenschaftlerInnen machst!
Our new study, initiated by an undergraduate in the lab, was set to examine the effect of mutating histone H3.3 K122 to alanine. To do so, we attempted to generate murine ES cells mutating all four alleles, but were surprised when we couldn't generate these lines!
Excited to share our study on ZNF512B's role in binding NuRD, acting as a repressor, and facilitating DNA aggregation is now published in @NAR_Open!
Big thanks to our amazing collaborators @OlallaLab, @JoelPMackay, Marek Bartkuhn, & Falk Butter!
