Just back to work after a brief subbatical

Another interesting link between H4K16ac & transposons, genome stability. Congratulations to the Scaffidi lab; we are pleased to contribute to this work.

Registration for Transcription and Chromatin UK is OPEN! Taking place from September 17 to 19, 2025, this conference will showcase cutting-edge research and is a ‘must-attend’ event for the UK transcription and chromatin community & both at home and abroad.
Pl register ow.ly/7QQb50W9Alo & share

Chromatin & transcription meeting is back again. Register your interest here www.biochemistry.org/events-and-t...

Happy holi, the festival of UMAPs

Check out this preprint on MLL2 by Srinjan Basu's lab @srinjan.bsky.social; I am happy to contribute a bit to this tour de force work

This Robbie greeted me at the drowning street entrance when I recently visited Cambridge university to give a talk. Apparently that's his/her job www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambrid...

Great visiting @ragnhildes.bsky.social lab in Oslo

Yes!! Now Bluesky data is on BioRxiv Altmetric

We are excited to share our latest work: Transposable elements (TE) are deregulated in #Preeclampsia placenta, which correlates with elevated type-I IFN. We then show "TE signature in maternal cell-free RNA can predict preeclampsia before the appearance of symptoms" biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
