Genome integrity maintenance during cell cycle progression: This is what we care about, this is what we study. #ReplicationStress & #DNADamage @UZH_Science

[altmeyerlab @altmeyerlab]

Sharing our latest work @UZH_en tracking DNA damage inheritance by Live+QIBC https://t.co/pN5Ivt8DIV. Huge congrats to @APanagopoulos_, M. Stout and all co-authors for this tour de force! Beautifully summarized by @S_J_Aitken and E. Reilly @NatureNV https://t.co/9IVexti382.

[Peter Ly @PeterLyLab]

The Ly Lab @CRI_UTSW is recruiting two #postdocs to study intercellular DNA transfer. Join us to tackle fundamental questions at the intersection of genome instability, cell-cell communication, and cancer evolution. Please share! 🙏

[Peter Ly @PeterLyLab]

Excited to share our latest paper, out today @CellCellPress. We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. (1/7)

[Martijn Luijsterburg @luijsterburglab]

Excited to share our new Nature study! 🧬

We (@UruciSidrit et al) discovered that CFAP20 helps clear stalled RNAPII, preventing harmful co-directional clashes with DNA replication machinery. This protects cells from R-loops and genome instability.

🚨 Exciting news! Our latest study is out in Nature Communications!
We reveal how specific BRCA2 mutations can hijack transcriptional programs—beyond their role in DNA repair.
