What's so special about DNA replication in S-phase? What happens if copying the DNA starts before entry into S-phase?

We used NGS and mass spec approaches to characterize 3 different systems of G1 replication in yeast and studied its consequences.

DNA replication timing directly regulates the frequency of oncogenic chromosomal translocations https://t.co/7vPYIZUZCM Exciting. Congrats to team. Could it draw the line to Kazanov 2015 demonstrating ssDNA-specific APOBEC mutagenesis unusual preference to early RT?

Great in person meeting on AID and Apobec enzymes with old colleagues and friends in the wonderful Quebec City at the Monastere des Augustine.

Very happy to share our latest review article published on @TrendsImmuno today, where we discuss the latest progress on mutagenic DNA repair during antibody diversification in B cells @MartinLabUofT https://t.co/kzQyOpNQhP

Congratulations to Yuqing and Conglei in the lab for their excellent study that was just published in Nature.
https://t.co/urod2yEYgf
And thank you to the many collaborators that helped contribute to this work.

[Xiaole Shirley Liu @XShirleyLiu]

I keep seeing cancer immunology papers where people bark up the wrong tree, i.e. study the function of a gene in immune cell components where this gene actually has low expression. TISCH (https://t.co/jnXuvL6CTR) can help find the cells the gene might have important functions.

Happy birthday to Nobel laureate Dr. Barbara McClintock! 🎉🎂 Learn more about this pioneer who pushed on with her research in the face of every challenge, saying, “They said I was crazy—absolutely mad...When you know you are right you don’t care!” https://t.co/54DcSemzqA

[Almudena Ramiro @aramiro_ramiro]

B cells with higher affinity receptors tend to develop
into plasma cells, while memory B cells are usually lower affinity. What part does AID play at this cell fate decision? Clues in our new study https://t.co/1B00086ukt. Fantastic work @cgomeze_ and cols!

[alberto martin @albertoxmartin]

I am looking for a #PostDoctoral Fellow to study B cell biology and the DNA repair pathways that are associated with antibody diversification processes. More information about the position is available here: https://t.co/whp3QJ7j8k

[Michela Di Virgilio @DiVirgilio_lab]

#DNA repair in #Immunity takes center stage! Congrats to @DevBerliner for the fantastic idea and cover realization, that nicely conveys the key points of @tannishtha_saha review on class switch #recombination! 👏👏👏 From @DiVirgilio_lab at @MDC_Berlin.

[Josep Biayna-Rodríguez @JBiaynaRodrguez]

Excited to share our work! APOBEC3A has emerged as a major driver of mutagenesis in cancer. By CRISPR/Cas9 screening we identify susceptibilities of A3A-expressing cell lines and identify HMCES as a central protein for the tolerance of A3A expression. https://t.co/34dlP2V4mZ
