Some (+)ve news to lighten another heavy weekend: our latest preprint (c/o Mattiroli + Ramani labs) is up!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A tour-de-force by 1st authors Bruna Eckhardt & @palindromephd.bsky.social, focusing on chromatin replication. RTs welcome; tweetorial in 3,2...(1/n)
The eukaryotic replisome intrinsically generates asymmetric daughter chromatin fibers
DNA replication is molecularly asymmetric, due to distinct mechanisms for lagging and leading strand DNA synthesis. Whether chromatin assembly on newly replicated strands is also asymmetric remains un...

On our three year lab anniversary (give or take a few days!), I'm proud to share the first original work produced within the Meers Lab: Plate-CUT&Tag! Take a look: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/3
A protocol for high-throughput microplate-based CUT&Tag
Cleavage Under Targets & Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) is a versatile method for measuring genomic occupancy of chromatin-associated proteins with high sensitivity and specificity. CUT&Tag has low sequencing...

In yeast spores, polarity emerges from a different playbook.

Dr. Michael McMurray (University of Colorado Anschutz) reveals how Bud8, Bud5, and Cdc42 machinery help spores establish polarity without relying on classic cortical landmarks.

Our paper is out in its final form! Back in April 2023, my coauthor Aleks Radakovic, then a PhD student, approached me after a talk in Chicago to ask what I thought an aminoacylated tRNA would look like if we pulled it through a @nanopore.

Nanopore sequencing of intact aminoacylated tRNAs - Nature Communications
Accurate protein synthesis depends on aminoacylated tRNAs, but their identities have been hard to measure. Here, authors present aa-tRNA-seq, a nanopore-based method that reveals the amino acid, seque...

Why do #StemCells have lower levels of facultative #heterochromatin, defined by H3K27me3, compared to differentiated cells? By artificially lengthening G1 phase, @4everbiochemist.bsky.social &co show that G1 length is an essential determinant of H3K27me3 landscape @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4lKfztO

In #G3journal, @4everbiochemist.bsky.social and colleagues assessed the role of essential histone chaperone Spn1 in maintaining #yeast chromatin structure. They found that Spn1 preserves nucleosomal, subnucleosomal, and non-nucleosomal protections across the genome.
