Welcome Edith! Exciting start of a new era for the Crick!

We identified a complex network of proteins that regulate MMEJ:NHEJ repair pathway balance in a chromatin context-dependent manner. With impact on cancer genomes. Paper is finally out: nature.com/articles/s4146…

The Journal Club by Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology is a nice format to revisit papers having an impact on the field. Thanks for the opportunity to write about the study by Jih et al. on distinct roles of H3K9me2/me3 describing how #heterochromatin can be transcribed while still being silenced.

Thanks to everyone joining our symposium “Quiescence from a Chromatin and RNA perspective” at Universität Gießen — especially our guest and local speakers! Many fruitful discussions and exciting keynote by 合田圭介 Keisuke Goda! Looking forward to establishing a new training network JLU FB 08 Biologie und Chemie

Now out in The EMBO Journal: FMI researchers in the Marc Bühler lab discovered that yeast communicate through secreted molecules to switch to less favorable nutrients when food is scarce, using mitochondrial proteins to decide the best menu 🍔 fmi.ch/news-events/ar…

What's the most feared part of giving a talk? Answering questions.. Yet, this is the best place to clarify your ideas & create an atmosphere where the audience gets to a higher level of understanding & satisfaction. Here's the effective method I learned from Uri Alon!

Our PhD program is now open to applications for 2025 admissions. Too much cool science to summarize, take a look and apply! Deadline Jan 7th.

Excited to share our study on ZNF512B's role in binding NuRD, acting as a repressor, and facilitating DNA aggregation is now published in Nucleic Acids Res! Big thanks to our amazing collaborators Olalla Vázquez, Joel Mackay, Marek Bartkuhn, & Falk Butter! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39460621/

My co-first author paper now out in nature SWR1 specifically exchanges H2A/H2B dimers for Htz1/H2B dimers in nucleosomes. Here we show double dimer exchange can be processive, explaining how SWR1 ‘proofreads’ dimer identity in a nucleosome. nature.com/articles/s4158…
