How did the chromatin field get to the here-and-now ? A sweeping historical perspective of the intersections between technology and biology from our very own Ellen Weinzapfel ! #epicypher#chromatin

Fantastic collaboration with the Musselman lab that shows why those pesky histone PTMs don't always appear to play together : been looking in the wrong place / way : Nucleosomes don't just CARRY the tails - they regulate their use ...
Sharing @ScienceAdvances identification of first RNAPII elongation factor repeat unit ELOA3 gene cluster conserved among primates & regulates pause release. Congratulations Marc & Saeid & thank you @EichlerLab@NU_BMG_SQE@NUFeinbergMed@ScienceMagazine https://t.co/cRAd6BYiwt
A Postdoc at St. Jude was senselessly murdered during a robbery. A Gofundme has been started to support his wife and child during this impossibly difficult time.

Excited to share my first ever paper containing part of my PhD work! If you're interested in Eomes, the Tbox family, and degrons in vivo, give it a read. Μany thanks to current and past Robertson lab members, esp my co-1st authors @ItaCostello and Marilena https://t.co/bgNLrrmvcB
@ATinyGreenCell Lol, and meanwhile Nebula Genomics still hasn't rolled out the platform to let you sell your genetic info that they had advertised like 5 years ago. Anybody wanna buy my genome? $100 OBO. Slightly used, with a few rare variants.
@TheLucyGarner The housing situation there for postdocs was pretty bad when I left in 2013. You basically had to have a bunch of roommates or your whole paycheck goes to rent. The quality of the apartments is often super crappy for what you pay also.
Three of the more costly and frequently used reagents in molecular biology are rolling circle amplification (RCA) mix, chemically competent MachOne (or other E. coli) cells, and Gibson assembly mix. Postdoc Julian Willis—who is starting his own lab in the UK soon—developed homemade recipes for each that reduce costs ~3x (or more at large-scale). Links to each recipe:

@BiochemOxford are recruiting a new Associate Professor. Great city and wonderful colleagues! Those with interests in transcription and gene regulation (either prokaryotes or eukaryotes) strongly encouraged to apply!
Please retweet!

@LabFairfax And the "Fix position on page" option absolutely does not fix the position on page (I was extremely disappointed). Those darn anchors are the bane of my existence!
@GallowayLabMIT@kadochlab This one? https://t.co/8J4r9kaxoG Although finding is slightly different: chrom. accessibility through BAF does not require RNAPII
@OdedRechavi I think rotations should be optional based on a student's preference. If a student already has a lab picked out that they really want to join it doesn't make sense to force them to do rotations. But I do think having the option to try different labs is a good idea.
