We work on nuclear organization and silent chromatin using the powerful fission yeast model.
Enjoyed three days at #EMBOMobileGenome —fantastic talks and inspiring discussions on TE regulation across diverse model systems, great community! Excited to share our recent work on solo LTR silencing in S. pombe via talk and poster by @vishnuss.bsky.social. @pombase.bsky.social @embo.org

Farewell to guest student Rosario Brockhausen (Constructor Univ. Bremen) 🎉 . In just 2 months she made big strides, key manuscript contributions & was a wonderful colleague. Hope to see her back soon! 👋

What a day! Very proud and truly happy as Karl @kcfo1.bsky.social wonderfully defended his PhD at LMU Munich. 🎓 Such a special moment for us all — celebrating a fantastic teammate and long-pillar of the lab. Great to have the team from @jlugiessen.bsky.social join us. Huge congrats, Dr. Olsen! 🥂👏

One intriguing finding was that most mutants displayed distinct qualitative & quantitative profiles, unveiling heterochromatin domain-specific functions, as seen for many sulfur metabolism genes. (4/n)

Out of 100 screen datasets, we uncovered 360 mutants with reduced or enhanced heterochromatin #silencing —far more than in previous studies that focused only on single chromatin regions. (3/n)
