What a lovely (early) Christmas dinner with the awesome Martijn Luijsterburg!

🎄Merry Christmas🎅 from the Martijn Luijsterburg!

Our Ulrich lab developed a new technique called Ubiquiton that tags proteins with one of three specific polyubiquitin chains. This lets scientists control the location & stability of cellular proteins, & to investigate how the cell’s control mechanisms go wrong in disease.

Don't think twice! You perfectly fit in this picture 👇Go and apply🧫🧬🔬⚡☀️🤠

Such a cutie 🤩 Enjoy gazing at this structure NatureStructMolBiol as we did when uncovering its cellular importance 😎. An amazing collaboration with the Cramer lab, Goran Kokic & many more

A day full of seintific memes and gifs 🤓😅🔬🧬

Awesome paper on transcription-coupled DPC repair from @cjcarnie, @stingele_lab, Steve Jackson Lab. Glad we could contribute to this amazing work.

🚨 Preprint notification 🚨 👇A new elegant approach to eyewitness the clearance of arrested RNAPII from UV lesions 🚓⚡🧬🔬

Say hi to STK19 👇 it's a new TCR factor 😎🧬⚡

Amazing week full of fresh science at Transcription and Genome Maintenance meeting in Roscoff!🤓🧬🧬🔬 Many thanks to the organizers Gaëlle Legube lab Chromatin Repair & Houra Merrikh for the great line up of spreaks and poster sessions #NER #RLoops #TERRA

I’m so thrilled to share my first first-author pre-print! 💪🎉🥳 This was an amazing collaborative work from Nitika Taneja, Andrés Aguilera and @lugerlab! How do #chromatinremodelers, #Rloops and mutations in #cancer correlate? A small 🧵below for you! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Take a look at this elegant work! 🤓👇👏

Our letter-to-the-editor providing evidence that ARK2N is not a core factor in transcription-coupled DNA repair is now online in PNAS! Well done Janne van Schie and Sem Brussee. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

It was wonderful to have our lab symposium yesterday, filled with great science, new ideas, good company, and delicious food. What a pleasure it is to work with such a fantastic group of people!
