In our latest paper, we uncover condensin II as a novel BLM interactor critical for genome stability in S phase. Condensin II contributes to BLM localization at active forks and undergoes a transient structural change in S phase.https://t.co/rHRyRFtMC9

Our new preprint is now on bioRxiv! 📄 We introduce qAID, an AI-based workflow for automated analysis of DNA replication dynamics. Glad to have contributed a small part to this study.

Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer, most commonly affects children and young adults.

New research solves the mystery of what drives the genomic rearrangements causing the aggressive development and evolution of osteosarcoma tumours.

RAD52 dominates DNA repair at #centromeres over RAD51 & NHEJ's factors, leading to apoptotic cell death. Centromeric DSBs reveal nuanced repair pathway choices. #genomics #research PMID:39360606, Nucleic Acids Res 2024, @NAR_Open https://t.co/h5faeqcszW

Our study on how the human MCM2-7 helicase is loaded onto replication origins 🧬 is now online @Nature! 🎉

Our findings reveal that unlike in yeast, human MCM loading does not require ORC6 and can occur through multiple pathways.

Our article "MCM double hexamer loading visualized with human proteins" published in Nature today! ❄️🔬🧬🎉🥳

Great collaboration with John Diffley's lab. Congratulations to Florian Weissmann, Julia Greiwe and all other authors! https://t.co/D13VcIXABT

[Genetics Society of America @GeneticsGSA]

The spindle assembly checkpoint in #yeast has been implicated in promoting large chromosomal arrangements, which can cause cancer.

A new #GENETICS study revisits this observation, finding it originated from an experimental artifact & does not hold true.

Our Repli-Histo labeling marks nucleosomes in euchromatin and heterochromatin in live cells. We reveal genome chromatin is essentially replicated from regions with greater nucleosome motions. 1/2
