Barcodes are everywhere, but what about in biology? In our new preprint we propose that somatic homolog pairing could be mediated by non-specific interaction "buttons" arranged in a barcode pattern 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Jagannathan Lab news - Part 1 A new paper from the lab jointly led by super students Ankita Chavan and Lena Skrutl. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We performed a multi-tissue proteomic screen using our favourite satellite DNA-binding proteins, D1 and Prod, as baits. (1/6)

Are you curious about the proteins orchestrating nuclear architecture? Whether and how chromatin organization affects gene expression and cell fate? Check out our preprint showcasing recent work in collaboration with the Eric Joyce and @RanganLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wishing all the fly-pushers out there a wonderful #DrosophilaDay/#FlyDay as we celebrate the anniversary (11/18) of the isolation of the #Drosophila white-eyed mutant line w1118! #DrosLife #SciArt #FruitFlyArt

Excited to share our work in collaboration with the Eric Joyce and @RanganLab highlighting the role of Stonewall in chromatin organization in Drosophila female germline, now published and featured on the cover Genes & Development. bit.ly/3VG7jic bit.ly/3L1Pghx

A new study from RaffaellaSantoroLab shows how nucleolus attracts genomics domains and establishes repressive chromatin marks. Special thanks to the contributors! Go now and check it out - biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1 month left of the Phd, nothing is working, and thesis isn't finished yet..... its fine

A green alga cell can swim 100 microns per second. Scientists put little baskets on a wheel. As algae became trapped, they pushed and spun the wheel around.

Thrilled to share that our preprint on the role of satellite DNA in homologous chromosome pairing is out 🎉 researchsquare.com/article/rs-553… I’m deeply grateful to my incredible co-authors, The Jagannathan Lab & everyone who provided suggestions and support 💕 Jagannathanlab.com

Thrilled to share our paper is out in PLOS Biology! 🎉 We explore how satDNA organization is linked to transposon repression. A huge thanks to my amazing co-first author Ankita Chavan and all the collaborators who made this possible! 💕 Check it out here plos.io/4akuNAi
