Had a cracking lab meeting this morning with our latest epigenome editing results (new tools we're trying for the 1st time). Reminded me we're organizing an awesome symposium in Paris in Nov! Here's our updated flyer (new speaker @dfachinetti.bsky.social). Please share! ctrlepiedit.sciencesconf.org

Thanks to @erhardtlab.bsky.social for the news and views on our paper on DNA methylation&centromere www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Dipping into the function of DNA methylation at centromeres - Nature Genetics
Human centromeres contain a small chromatin region with low levels of DNA cytosine methylation that resides with CENP-A. Salinas-Luypaert et al. find a role of DNA methylation in maintaining the size and function of centromeres by controlling the binding affinity of key centromere components.
