Thrilled to announce our study on the histone variant H2A.W & pericentromeric crossovers is now out in PNAS! We show that loss/knockdown of H2A.Ws boosts meiotic crossovers in Arabidopsis pericentromeric regions: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🎉 Huge congratulations to Wojtek Wojtek Dzięgielewski on successfully defending his PhD today!🎓 An outstanding defense that capped off five years of incredibly productive and inspiring collaboration. Impressive achievements already - and even more exciting work/papers still ahead!💪🚀💡

Our work on the histone variant H2A.W is now published. We show that H2A.W7 represses meiotic recombination on heterochromatin and limits heterochromatin clustering. Great collaboration. Ian Henderson pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
