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...

New preprint from the Lab at @cabimer.bsky.social. We present PLAMseq, using TurboID to do like ChIPseq and proximity proteomics in the same protocol with extra powers like mapping protein interactions in the genome.

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
PLAMseq enables the proteo-genomic characterization of chromatin-associated proteins and protein interactions in a single experimental workflow.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Co-Immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assays are the most common approaches to characterize the genomic localization and protein interactors, respectively, for a prote...

Delighted to share the ground-breaking work from BBSRC Discovery Fellow @whgittens.bsky.social mapping physiological Top2 activity without poisons. Acute sensitivity enables sub-minute visualisation of Top2 hotspots hidden within sites of latent topological stress: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Transcription creates superhelical stress in DNA, challenging genome stability. Here the authors find Top2 activity is uncorrelated with transcription unless chromatin is disrupted suggesting that chr...
