Mathematical/physical/computational biologist. Postdoc @johninnescentre.bsky.social. Mostly about Science, occasionally something else. Opinions my own, even when wrong.

Even when the focus is on research with immediate industrial applications, many policymakers recognise that breakthroughs start with fundamental science. That's why Mario Draghi recommended doubling the ERC’s budget.

ERC President spoke at @sciencebusiness.net Annual Conference earlier this week.

🚨 New preprint from the lab. Combining modeling and data analysis of SisterC data in yeast, we investigate cohesion of replicated chromosomes and show that sister chromatids are loosely and asymmetrically aligned in G2/M. Check the tweetorial below ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

8.4 GIGAWATTS of offshore wind just contracted in the UK, thanks to Ed Miliband's recent auction - enough electricity to power 12 million homes.

The US can boil in Venezuelan oil. We're investing in energy you don't need to invade other nations to obtain

Seems like such a waste of funds. Preprint and post publication peer review would cut out the middle man.

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C?

Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C.

1/ 🚀 AEBP2 isn’t what we thought.

You were told that AEBP2 promotes PRC2 activity on chromatin.

We found the opposite: the most prevalent AEBP2 isoform inhibits PRC2 activity.

📢 New preprint !
Please check if you are interested in the comparison between 2d and 3d nematic theories 🤔

I show that the 2d description can lead to artefacts on curved surfaces, and I propose a thin film description of nematic shells with full 3d orientation !

This was a funny summer project 😊

Check out our new work, led by talented @janhuemar.bsky.social, where we uncover that pioneer factor Oct4 remodels chromatin for DNA access not by opening it but by exploiting nucleosome breathing and forming clusters 🔥🔥🔥
janhuemar.bsky.social Jan Huertas @janhuemar.bsky.social · Oct 21
🚨 🚨 🚨 New preprint alert!!! 🚨 🚨 🚨
In the past, we have learnt that Oct4 can induce nucleosome breathing on the mono-nucleosome level.
But what happens when you have a fibre of multiple nucleosomes?
