Our laboratory seeks to understand how chromosome structure relates to genome functions
29 / and this one illustrates the dramatic differences in loop dynamics after depleting
NIPBL (slow rate, normal lifetime)
WAPL (very high lifetime)
PDS5 (high lifetime, high rate)

28/ and some movies!

This one illustrates the difference in loop dynamics between high lifetime v.s. high rate, at equal processivity.

LEFT - High lifetime: loops take time to grow but remain for very long

RIGHT - High rate: loops grow super fast but eventually dissociate to reform

26/ This was a hand in hand collaboration between experimentalists in our group led by @rinishah.bsky.social , and physicists in @gfudenberg.bsky.social ’s lab led by Max Tortora, with help from @nesslfy.bsky.social in @lucagiorgetti.bsky.social ’s lab.

A fun thank-you video for reading that far:
