Asgard histones form closed and open hypernucleosomes. Closed are conserved across #Archaea, while open resemble eukaryotic H3–H4 octasomes and are Asgard-specific. More here: www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

We find the rate of cohesin loop extrusion in cells is set by NIPBL dosage and tunes many aspects of chromosome folding.
This provides a molecular basis for NIPBL haploinsufficiency in humans. 🧵👇

Thrilled to share that we have discovered a brand-new anti-phage defense system! Bacteria have evolved various defense strategies (CRISPR etc) to counter phage attacks. We found a new one - fascinating and dramatic

In an exemplary in vitro/in vivo study, 1st authors @btanalikwu.bsky.social & Alice Deshayes showed that dense linear protein arrays (e.g. telomeres) do stop loop-extruding SMCs!
Great collaboration with Marcand lab.

Q: how does chromatin move?
Using MINFLUX, SPT & SRLCI, we track chromatin dynamics across 7 orders of magnitude in time to provide answers www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Q: How do we get ultra-high-res 3D genome maps?
A: New deep learning model, Cleopatra.
Cleo trains on Micro-C, fine-tunes on RCMC, and predicts genome-wide 3D maps at ultra-high resolution.

In this paper, we identify two amino acid motifs on CTCF that impede cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion - important as CTCF and cohesin are crucial to the structure and regulation of our chromosomes.
