Thrilled to share our paper is out in @PLOSBiology! 🎉 We explore how satDNA organization is linked to transposon repression. A huge thanks to my amazing co-first author @flyhi_ankita and all the collaborators who made this possible! 💕

1 month left of the Phd, nothing is working, and thesis isn't finished yet..... its fine

[Ankita Chavan @flyhi_ankita]

Excited to share our work in collaboration with the @ericjoycelab and @RanganLab highlighting the role of Stonewall in chromatin organization in Drosophila female germline, now published and featured on the cover @GenesDev.

A new study from @LabSantoro shows how nucleolus attracts genomics domains and establishes repressive chromatin marks. Special thanks to the contributors! Go now and check it out - https://t.co/AXkSCEQcd0

A green alga cell can swim 100 microns per second.

Scientists put little baskets on a wheel. As algae became trapped, they pushed and spun the wheel around.

Extremely jazzed to be awarded an @snsf_ch Ambizione grant! I'll be joining @DmmdUzh as a junior group leader where I'll be studying the intersection between cell size, senescence, and genome maintenance. Big thanks to @altmeyerlab 1/2

pretty wild: a woman with amygdala damage was ~literally fearless, so doctors are like "hm what if we make you breathe a lot of CO2, probably won't bother you" but whoops "this was the first time patient SM experienced fear in any setting...since childhood"

The academic fantasy

[FungLabMeiosis @FungLabMeiosis]

the synaptonemal complex of a single chromosome looks a lot like a snake moving around inside the meiotic nucleus!

This is what the end of a PhD looks like if you even care

Are you curious about the proteins orchestrating nuclear architecture? Whether and how chromatin organization affects gene expression and cell fate? Check out our preprint showcasing recent work in collaboration with the @ericjoycelab and @RanganLab. https://t.co/n1NDmHVIec

Barcodes are everywhere, but what about in biology? In our new preprint we propose that somatic homolog pairing could be mediated by non-specific interaction "buttons" arranged in a barcode pattern 🧵
