Happy to see our work published and glad to have contributed together with @maxraas.bsky.social ! Looking forward to all the projects that will come out of this work!
Excited to share our new paper in @cellreports.bsky.social that reshapes our understanding of chromosome organization's deep evolutionary roots! Our work dives into the origins of the machinery that structures our very genomes.

Ana Almeida, Helder Rocha, Maximilian Raas, Geert Kops, Reto Gassmann, Helder Maiato @i3suporto.bsky.social, et al. dissect the relationship between kinetochore size & CENP-E dependence for chromosome alignment.

My second paper of the year finally out!

While the Polycomb field is dominated by models based on a tight functional coupling between PRC1 and PRC2, we found compelling evolutionary support for the predominantly independent functions of PRC1 and PRC2.

Uncoupled evolution of the Polycomb system and deep origin of non-canonical PRC1 - Communications Bi...
A systematic characterization of the Polycomb system throughout the eukaryotic tree of life reveals that evolution of PRC1 and PRC2 has been largely uncoupled.
