Cryo-EM reveals open and closed Asgard chromatin assemblies
Ranawat et al. show the cryo-EM structures of Asgard archaeal chromatin assemblies,
revealing that the histone HHoB assembles into both compact closed and extended open
hypernucleosomes. The closed co...

Transcriptional dynamics during karyogamy in rice zygotes
Upon fertilization, male and female nuclei fuse to form the zygotic nucleus in angiosperms. Karyogamy is considered to be essential for proper embryogenesis; however, the transcriptional dynamics duri...

awesome!!!
Scientific drawing is an important skill that used to be an integral part of a scientist's training 📝
I use vectors for my drawings- here are 5 reasons why they are awesome (1/6 🧵)

High-throughput capture of transcription factor-driven epigenome dynamics using PHILO ChIP-seq
Abstract. Assessing the dynamics of chromatin features and transcription factor (TF) binding at scale remains a significant challenge in plants. Here, we p
