Exciting work from the Rass lab, and colleagues at the GDSC 🥳
My first post on bsky to share our latest research in @nature.com: “DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication” - defines DNA2’s essential function & elucidates links with primordial dwarfism and cancer. Thanks to the lab, collaborators & @ukri.org @acmedsci.bsky.social
DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication - Nature
DNA2 suppresses recombination-restarted replication and checkpoint activation at stalled forks, and its loss triggers recombination-dependent synthesis, checkpoint signalling and cell-cycle exit, high...

Dear all,

Postdoc positions are available to work on (1) the role of DNA strand break repair proteins during DNA replication and (2) the molecular/structural biology of XRCC1 protein complexes, as part of our work on genetic diseases & cancer. Contact me if interested: k.w.caldecott@sussex.ac.uk

Dear all, over Christmas I was sadly informed that Larry Thompson died on Dec.16th. Those of you that knew Larry and his work will know how big a loss this is to the genome stability community. A brief memoriam and tribute to Larry is available in DNA Repair.

This meeting is always very very special…..don’t miss it.
What are your plans for October 2025? It would be a fantastic time to visit Norway for the Endogenous DNA Damage and Repair conference with a stellar set of speaker covering a wide range of topics. www.endodnadamage.com
