Wonderful, thought-provoking review by Sir Adrian Bird on cohesin loop extrusion as disrupter of chromatin organisation rather than generator. Great read! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Cohesin as an essential disruptor of chromosome organization
Cohesin is a multi-subunit molecular machine that is able to create lateral chromatin loops within a linear chromosome fiber. Despite intense study, a…

This is terrifying. I am worried for the non-citizens who will be showing up to the science rallies this week. Please be smart. It’s unlikely institutions will be able to save you.

So much happening in the segmentation space for bioimage analysis. These two papers that were published online today really stood out to me as noteworthy (a thread).

Every scientist should read this. Unbelievable, utterly insane, and outrageous. There is a significant fear that this could also reach Germany with the impending conservative-fascist government (CDU/NSAfD), which Germany is highly likely to have by early summer.

Friedrich Merz, the leader of the German CDU, just claimed in parliament that gang rapes are committed on a daily basis by asylum seekers in Germany. It is pure far right propaganda. The mainstreaming of the far right is happening on steroids in Germany right now.

Researchers used AlphaFold alone (no wet-lab experiments; no cryo-EM etc.) to build a structural model and predict how a huge complex in cells, made of 17 proteins, spans across the bacterial cell envelope to transduce force for motility. Can anyone tell me if this is a first?

Too many AI projects begin at the wrong starting point. They start with an existing dataset, and ask “what can we do with this data?” The harder question is, “what are the biggest questions in your area, and what data would be useful to answering them?” 5/

If your new year resolution is doing a PhD, there is still time left to apply for a project in my group looking at how the condensin complex undergoes such large conformational changes while making loops. I mean look at how cool the starting model is:
