@ScienceMagazine Replication timing maintains the global epigenetic state in human cells. "loss of RIF1 causes near-complete elimination of the RT program ... coupled with widespread alterations in chromatin modifications and genome compartmentalization." https://t.co/OIErCu84Kq

We showed indubitably that DNA replication is required for and upstream of chromatin modification alteration and HiC compartmentalisation disruption. None of this is possible without the help and input from our talented collaborators. Thank you all for your diligent work. 5/5

Congratulations to @KyleKlein7 and @Olivia_Camel on their work published in Science. Many years of hard work went into this amazing story that finally explains why we have replication timing programs - a brief thread. 1/5

‘Unaffected' late regions maintain their late timing, which is largely orchestrated by their H3K9me3 association. 'Affected' regions lose their late timing and H3K9me3 binding upon RIF1 KO. Through painstaking cell cycle synchronisation we delineated the order of events. 4/5

Check out the new biorxiv from graduate student Dan in our lab. He has created a new method (TIP-seq) that combines all of the best aspects of various protein-DNA binding assays to achieve some of the highest resolution data available at the single-cell level.

✅~10-fold more unique reads per single cell vs state-of-the-art methods

We cleaned up the Bush 1 mess, we cleaned up the Bush 2 mess and we will clean up this mess. Thanklessly as always!

President Biden will have an unenviable task picking up the pieces & trying to unite the country after this farcical 4-year tragi-comedy of a presidency.

The months till inauguration will be dangerous as a desperate Führer in his bunker tries to pull the world down with him.

Nucleosome depleted regions are depleted of histones lol

[Costa Lab - @costalab.bsky.social @vanvanka123]

Question for the chromatin community - Which histone modification (or combinations) is determinant of nucleossome depleted regions (ATAC-seq peaks)? Any pointer to work looking at this are welcome!

[Gilbert Lab @gilbert_lab]

It’s not - don’t you know - Victor doesn’t believe in TADs!!

[Victor Corces @CorcesVictor]

But I like TADs better. They are so...…….triangular

[Genome Biology @GenomeBiology]

Zhao, Sasaki and @gilbert_lab present a high-resolution study of DNA replication timing in various human and mouse cell lines. Replication patterns generally conserved between cell types, with mid-S phase origins being most variable. https://t.co/99JGQEDbXg

We are also still considering keynote speakers - so if you plan to attend and really have a leader in the field you'd like to hear speak. feel free to offer suggestions. DM me! Architecture people, please RT!

[Jesse L. Turner, PhD @tesse_jurner]

This is early - but everyone studying genome structure and function should keep this meeting on their radar:

As one of the Co-Chairs, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
