Very excited to present at the Fragile Nucleosome seminar series this Wednesday from 5:00pm (UK time), where I'll be discussing some unpublished work on how SWI/SNF loss changes cohesin binding and localisation genome-wide. Register at the link below! 🧬🔬🎤💻

Some Friday reading...new review in Open Biology where we discuss how SWI/SNF maintains the chromatin environment around centromeres, building on recent work from ourselves and others. Lots of fun putting this together with @alison-harrod.bsky.social and @thedownslab.bsky.social!

Boundary issues: SWI/SNF shapes chromatin patterns in and around centromeres
Abstract. The SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodelling complexes, comprising BAF, PBAF and ncBAF, is known for their critical roles in regulating chromatin

Delighted to share that our paper on the role of PBAF in centromere integrity is out now in @natcomms.bsky.social! It was a long journey but it was made so much easier thanks to my co-first author/coding whiz @alison-harrod.bsky.social, the whole @thedownslab.bsky.social team, & our wonderful boss!
