Really excited to share our latest pre-print on the role of cohesin in homology search, now available on bioRxiv!

Cohesin drives chromatin scanning during the RAD51-mediated homology search.
Cohesin folds genomes into chromatin loops, whose roles are under debate. We report that double strand breaks (DSB) induce de novo formation of chromatin loops, with the break positioned at the loop b...

New preprint from the @gerlichlab.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social!

How do DNA breaks locate homology sites in the vast space of the human genome? We show how cohesin guides homology search for faithful repair!

New #preprint from the lab! Do you want to see the invisible? So did we! When DNA genomes get broken, cells somehow find related sequences to fix the break. But how do they find it? We developed a way to look at sequence *search*, not just sequence usage.
