Happy to share our new pre-print from @arnausebe.bsky.social lab!

We developed iChIP2 to profile hPTMs across eukaryotes. Thanks to David and Julen, and specially to @seanamontgomery.bsky.social, the best teammate I could wish:)

Check out what we discovered about chromatin evolution!

Se acabó! I finally got a #PhD 🎓🥂
4 years of tears & anxiety mixed with euphoria, the most genuine laughs & precious friendships. Fabulously chaotic.
Thanks to all those big little #proteins, inside my body and inside the #microscopy chambers 🧪🔬✨

So thrilled to share my first paper as a first author. In these in vitro reconstitutions we observe how purified #spindle #proteins interact with #microtubules using #TIRF #microscopy 🔬👩🏻‍🔬
Grateful to those magic brains of the @surreylab.bsky.social for all the support along the way! 🫂
New: Colombo et al. @surreylab.bsky.social show that NuMA is a mitotic dynein adaptor that binds and caps microtubule minus ends, explaining how dynein, NuMA, dynactin, and Lis1 focus microtubule minus ends at mitotic spindle poles https://buff.ly/41aj9F9
