Happy to share our new story @CBMSO_CSIC_UAM on @NAR_open DSS1 is an acidic protein that binds and stabilises BRCA2. Looking for variants of BRCA2 in the interface between the two we found one that surprisingly increases BRCA2 binding affinity for ssDNA doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Penny Jeggo the Co-editor in Chief of DNA Repair has done it again and brought together a 10th Cutting Edge Perspective of Genome Maintenance authors.elsevier.com/a/1iIuu5aisDUB… Please read 15 timely reviews on exciting developments in genome stability and damage response pathways.

Women are 4-times more likely to have autoimmune diseases than men. Why is this? From Dou et al. in Cell, today In females, the second X chromosome is silenced by a long non-coding RNA, called Xist (pronounced 'exist') - males don't express Xist Xist, together with almost

Gaza has been a test for humanity, and our political leaders have failed. Their moral authority lies under the rubble, along with the thousands of lives that could have been saved by a ceasefire. We still believe in a more peaceful world, and we are not going anywhere.

After posting our recent discovery of Msc1 as a protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair in late mitosis, we now post a preprint on how Msc1 might work together with the ESCRT-III complex for this goal: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PhD position altert! Pls RT. Interested in exploring how alternative splicing could fundamentally regulate protein synthesis? We have a PhD position open to address this Biological Sciences University of Southampton. Pls DM for more details.

Thrilled to share the first manuscript from Verma Lab! We uncover that cleavage of abasic sites represents a new approach to enhance PARP inhibitor sensitivity. Thankful to the perseverance and hard work of my students Natasha Ramakrishnan and Lindsey Aubuchon rdcu.be/dPbsT

Rest in peace, Dr. Zewail. An extraordinary Egyptian scientist and a true role model. ربنا يرحمك ويغفر لك ويتجاوز عن سيئاتك 🤲

I'm excited to share graduate student Matthew Thompson's fist preprint. He found a surprising similarity in untargeted CUT&Tag, BG4 CUT&Tag, and ATAC-seq enrichment. We plan to submit for review soon and would appreciate feedback.
