𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗡𝗔 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲?Excited to share our new study “Repair of DNA double-strand breaks leaves heritable impairment to genome function”, revealing DNA repair’s hidden cost, out now @science.org tinyurl.com/5n6zw3ye. Led by @sbantele.bsky.social and Jiri Lukas.🧵👇1/n
Repair of DNA double-strand breaks leaves heritable impairment to genome function
Upon DNA breakage, a genomic locus undergoes alterations in three-dimensional chromatin architecture to facilitate signaling and repair. Although cells possess mechanisms to repair damaged DNA, it is ...

Long-term study suggests that the more heatwaves people are exposed to, the more it accelerates body ageing.

Repeated heatwaves can age you as much as smoking or drinking

“In bone marrow alone ~500 million cells are born every min” says Bruce Stillman. Each must duplicate 2+ meters of DNA to avoid errors that can cause cancer & autism. See more from Stillman, @crick.ac.uk’s John Diffley & @uuhsresearch.bsky.social's @jiwasa.bsky.social

From cooperation to conflicts – a complicated relationship between transcription and replication.
A tight coordination between transcription and DNA replication is essential to maintain genome stability. Both excessive transcription and upregulated…

Besides Arthur Ashkin, inventor of the optical tweezers, we are indebted to another innovator: Carl Ludwig, creator of the kymograph. One of the most information-rich and layered data representations available for single-molecule researchers.
