Want to do a DPhil Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University ? Here is a link (bioch.ox.ac.uk/graduate-about…) to programmes that admit students. Great labs to choose from. Have a look at kloselab.co.uk if you want to know more what we do in my group! Please RT!

HRB Summer Student Scholarships are now open to support undergraduate students complete short research projects during the summer. The purpose of the scholarship scheme is to encourage research interest. Learn more here: bit.ly/4dM46ou #ResearchOpportunity

Repeat after me: LAB WEBSITES MATTER! While it may seem like a nice-to-have... in today's world, it's a need-to-have. For you, your trainees, and your prospective team members. I couldn't have written this better myself: nature.com/articles/s4225…

I’m excited to share the first preprint out of the Altemose Lab! This stems from a heroic effort by Dr. Matt Franklin Matt Franklin (who's on the job market!), who made surprising discoveries regarding some of the most mysterious regions of the genome. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm a PhD student at University of Oxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!

Our paper discovering a centromere-localized retroelement RNA is now out in Genome Biology 🎉! Transcription of this retroelement is higher in CENP-A chromatin where insertions of this element seem to occur preferentially. Pls check it out and RT! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Fancy a postdoc on human centromere formation/inheritance in Oxford? Get those applications in! If anyone has questions about what a postdoc in the lab/Oxford is like, just drop me a message!

Happy to contribute to this excellent story about heterochromatin role in centromere maintenance, led by Ben Carty ! Heterochrom. boundaries control centromere expansion, drift & number! Great usage of induced neocentromere model and modern epigenomics across the labs🥳

Very excited to share our work Megan Mahlke in great collaboration with Nicolas Altemose Karen Miga Peter Campbell and Rachel O'Neill revealing that human centromeres are heterogenous and naturally evolve over prolonged proliferation. Check it out here biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Biology papers be like "The nucleus is part of the cell and contains a lot of DNA. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated deposition of H3K27me3 establishes domains of facultative heterochromatin, silencing gene expression in a developmentally regulated manner."

🌟 Our #ResearchIsBeautiful campaign continues to inspire! Congratulations to Danny Gold from the University of Oxford for his stunning image which captures microtubules attaching to chromosomes via kinetochores to form mitotic spindles. Hear more from

We are very excited to launch the registration for our 2025 symposium on 'Chromatin, Epigenetics and Transcription' today! Join us at Trinity College Dublin on May 28th for this event featuring keynote, new PI and PhD/postdoc talks and posters! Free registration: allirelandchromatinconsortium.ie/annual-meeting/

I’m excited to share the first manuscript out of my PhD work with Nicolas Altemose, in which we describe FiberFold: a deep learning tool that predicts cell-type-specific and haplotype-specific 3D genome organization from a single experiment! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

My group is hiring a new Postdoc to work on gene regulation and chromatin in Nematostella. Please RT! For more information see here: gahanlab.com tinyurl.com/34xke35d

A three year postdoctoral position is available in my group, investigating plant centromere structure, function and evolution Department of Plant Sciences jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51488/

🚨 Hot off the press!!! Wanted to share this to celebrate the momentous achievement from the Giunta Lab and for the human centromere / genomics communities as a whole... more posts to come next week but for now, happy Fourth & happy reading ❤️🧬💻 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy to share our latest work on the structure and assembly of holocentric kinetochores! Huge thanks to Ines for a very fruitful collaboration, Claudio for all the support, and congratulations to Christine and all co-authors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 Excited to share my first paper as 2nd author! From the Barr & Gruneberg labs, this work explores the structure of the Chromosome Passenger Complex (CPC) and suggests a ‘pivot–tether’ model for how it binds H3pT3-phosphorylated nucleosomes (1/2) Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social)
