🚨New preprint from the lab🚨
🧬 What keeps certain chromatin domains anchored at the nuclear periphery? Our new genome-wide HiDRO screen uncovers a key role for RNA-binding protein hnRNPK.

Our lab is on the lookout for curious and creative PhD candidates as part of the @RNA_iit. Don't miss out - there's still time to apply! @semm_it @IITalk#compbio
Last week, #SMLMS2024 started! Considering we had an earthquake hitting Portugal just days before, we can say it was definitely groundbreaking. Hope you all had an amazing meeting!
Looking forward to seeing you again at Bonn's #SMLMS2025 hosted by @UEndesfelder and @HeilemannLab
our next talk features @JumanaAHA and her impressive work on chromosomal homolog interactions 🧬🔬 Jumana is also a new PI hiring, start applying now 😊 #SMLMS2024@SMLM_Symposium
✨We're launching a Community Spotlights series to highlight some of the amazing people we've connected with through our work. We're thrilled to feature @prof_dasgupta for the first spotlight! Learn about Shoumita's work & her upcoming book: https://t.co/iqHBqpx9LQ.✨
Join us to explore Genetics & Spirituality on May 22! Hosted by UNMC in Omaha + online. It’s been an honor working with Pastor Richard Randolph and co-organizers on this launch event for the Science and Spirituality Institute. Register to attend: https://t.co/A485IKgnyL.
🧬The Genome Organization & Nuclear Function Meeting (@cshlmeetings) kicks off today!
🧑🔬Our Structural Genomics Group Leader, @mamartirenom, is 1⃣ of the discussion leaders, presenting:
🗣️"Sex-determining 3D regulatory hubs revealed by genome spatial auto-correlation analysis"
It was such as treat to have @TingWu_Lab present at @UNMC_GCBA, hear fascinating stories about the evolution of discoveries about homolog-pairing, and exchange deeply thought-provoking ideas. Thanks for your time. We had so much fun!!
Multiplexing with Exchange-PAINT can be also directly leveraged for tokPAINT as well as multi-omic cryosection protocols targeting proteins, DNA and RNA. [6/11]
Great news, this does not only work in fixed cells but also in ultrathin cryosections of tissues, as we show for tokPAINT imaging of Pol II within mouse tissues. [5/11]
Looking forward to my first time giving a talk in front of a biophysics audience @BiophysicalSoc today.
Come to ballroom B at 9:00 to see how I use chromosome walking in super-res to understand homologous chromosome communication. #BPS2024
Achieving sub-3 nm localization precisions, tokPAINT enables detection of Pol II down to level of single antibodies. Bonus: cryosections are openly accessible to probe diffusion, enhancing imager binding kinetics, e.g. for molecular counting via qPAINT. [4/11]
Inspired by previous work (e.g., by @apombo1, @Eric_Betzig, @HeilemannLab) we adopted Tokuyasu cryosectioning, widely known from Immunogold EM, to enable nuclear tokPAINT imaging of Pol II using TIRF. [3/11]
