🧵 New pre-print out from my time at @mib-wur.bsky.social showing how the titration of the initiator protein DnaA on the chromosome of E. coli can generate stable DNA replication @hohlbeinlab.bsky.social @nicoc-micsynmet.bsky.social doi.org/10.64898/202...

🧵 Our study on the elusive titration control mechanism of the replication initiator DnaA in Escherichia coli is now out on @natcomms.nature.com‬! @stephkoe.bsky.social @hohlbeinlab.bsky.social‬ @nicoc-micsynmet.bsky.social @ettema.bsky.social‬ @mib-wur.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

The Escherichia coli replication initiator DnaA is titrated on the chromosome - Nature Communications
A DNA-binding protein, DnaA, regulates the initiation of chromosomal replication in bacteria. Here, Olivi et al. show that the bacterial chromosome sequesters DnaA in a growth rate-dependent manner, s...

Definitely an experience to say the least, but stoked to see it in its final form! Can't wait to share more

I'm beyond excited to share that I've been awarded an @embo.org Postdoctoral Fellowship to join the lab of prof. Johan Elf at Uppsala University @uu.se! Can't wait to dive even deeper in the fascinating world of bacterial physiology!

The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy

Starting to think I should use our dog Ombra as a metaphor to explain students how fluorescent proteins allow you to tell apart things of interest from the background

A dynamic 3D polymer model of the Escherichia coli chromosome driven by data from optical pooled screening
The DNA of bacterial cells is organized in a highly dynamic chromosome structure. To guarantee its propagation, the chromosome must replicate, segregate, and accommodate other biological processes lik...
