The short talk abstract and scholarship deadline for the Keystone Interplay of Chromatin Architecture and Transcription Regulation is tomorrow (23 January)! Get your abstracts in to be part of a great meeting in Banff this spring. keysym.us/KSChromatin25

We’re also thrilled to offer continued funding to this year’s Stage 2 Innovators Lucas Farnung, @raflynn5, and Liu Lab (Dr. Kathy F. Liu), who are expanding our knowledge of gene translocation, cell surface RNA, and Y chromosome proteins to make breakthroughs in cancer research!

🎉Super excited to share our story on how the substrate receptor FBXO31 functions as a quality control factor by recognizing amides. This has been an amazing collaboration between Bode lab and Jacob Corn. Special shutout goes to @matthias_muhar nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cells are filled with toxic stuff that damages healthy proteins. Is that garbage just left to rot on the curb? No way! Ubiquitin ligases have evolved to recognize chemical damage and clean it up! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our story on the mechanism of co-transcriptional histone mark deposition is now officially out: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited about mechanistic biology and processes in the cell's nucleus? Join our lab as a post-doctoral researcher! We have a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility at HMS, a brand-new lab space, and a vibrant community at HMS! DM/email me or check farnunglab.com

Very excited to share that my thesis work is out in Molecular Cell! We trained a Structure and Omics informed Classifier (SPOC) to score binary AlphaFold multimer (AF-M) predictions by structural quality and consistency with experimental omics datasets. cell.com/molecular-cell…

Thank you Lucas Farnung for the invitation to visit Harvard Medical School Cell Biology -I had a fantastic day of science and friends 🤩 Moazed Lab AdelmanLab Gygi Lab Brad Bernstein

We are delighted to announce our most recent class of Damon Runyon Fellows! These 13 scientists will receive four years of independent funding to investigate cancer causes, mechanisms, therapies, and prevention. Read more: bit.ly/4kv5JLF

Die #Forschungsfreiheit in den USA steht unter Druck – Reise- & Kommunikationsverbote, wachsende Selbstzensur. Ein alarmierendes Signal, das auch uns in Europa zu denken geben sollte. Jetzt ist es wichtig, solidarisch zu sein. Mehr dazu bei ARD Monitor ⬇️ ardmediathek.de/video/monitor/…

🚨New paper🚨Our new study with Cole Lab uncovers how SIRT6 dynamically adapts structurally and enzymatically to target diverse histone acylations (e.g., H3K27ac) within nucleosomes. Zhipeng A. Wang Jon Markert doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.… #Chromatin #SIRT6 #CryoEM

Interesting science goals from Germany’s new coalition agreement (CDU/CSU/SPD): 🇩🇪 100,000 GPU AI cluster 🌍 “1,000 minds” program for global talent 📜 Reform of fixed-term academic contracts 📈 3.5% of GDP for R&D by 2030 ⚛️ Target: First working fusion reactor to be built in 🇩🇪

Worth noting: 🇩🇪 invested 3.11% of GDP in R&D in 2023. The new 3.5% target for 2030 is only a marginal increase—and was already set for 2025. Ambition looks rather limited.

This support is highly appreciated! From personal experience: Transatlantic cooperation is a pillar of the scientific enterprise!
