Another step closer to understanding the complexity of FLC regulation by showing that antisense transcription and PRC2 repression function in parallel during vernalization ❄️ Happy to share our recent work led by Mathias L. Nielsen 🧬🌱and Govind Menon 💻 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

After 4 years in the lab Svenja Reeck successfully defended her PhD on the spatio-temporal regulation of FLC last Friday! Pictured here with supervisor Martin Howard and Rea L. Antoniou-Kourounioti. Congratulations Dr. Svenja Reeck!!

COOLAIR and PRC2 function in parallel to silence FLC during vernalization - out now! 🌱❄️Great effort by all the authors (on twt Mathias L. Nielsen Eduardo Mateo Philip Wolff Shaoli Zhou)

Today we started a very special meeting at John Innes Centre. The first reunion of all Dean alumni. First time I saw live so many people I read papers from! Good science and a lot of fun ahead! Caroline Dean Yiliang Ding

I'm glad to share that one of my projects in Caroline Dean is now published on bioRxiv. Thanks to all authors! We have used several approaches to characterize FCA condensates in vivo.

I am thrilled beyond words to share with you all that our work, previously posted as bioRxiv, is now out in Molecular Cell Caroline Dean John Innes Centre Miguel Montez Robert Maple Xiaofeng Fang Lori Passmore MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology Politécnica Madrid CBGP cell.com/molecular-cell…

And as back-to-back with this other modelling paper with my dear friend Govind Menon! From Martin Howard group AND Svenja Reeck Robert Ietswaart Robert Maple, among others John Innes Centre, so for me is like having twins 😍 cell.com/molecular-cell…

In our new review paper, Yue Wan and I focused on the functional importance of RNA structure in gene regulation. Many thanks to Yue and Xinang! I really enjoy the writing process. nature.com/articles/s4158…
