FANCJ and RTEL1 facilitate pre-replication complex disassembly following replisome collision
Cameron et al. show that dormant pre-replication complexes are removed upon collision with replication forks in Xenopus egg extracts. They identify FANCJ and RTEL1 as key factors in this process and s...

The latest work from ours and @vram142.bsky.social lab is out! True teamwork to visualize nascent chromatin with strand resolution, using a fully reconstituted system. Very proud of superstar-PhD student Bruna, and @palindromephd.bsky.social. Learning so much from Vijay’s amazing technologies! RT

New work from the Knipscheer group published in @science.org reveals a mechanism involving RNA and DNA repair proteins that helps cells remove G-quadruplex structures. G4 structures are knot-like formations in DNA that can cause damage if left unresolved. www.hubrecht.eu/cells-untie-dna-knots/

Excited our paper is out! G-quadruplex (G4) unwinding via an intricate G-loop assembly and disassembly mechanism maintains genome integrity. Pioneered by Koichi Sato with great collaborators Jing Lyu and @simonelsasser.bsky.social Check it out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr0493 🧵(1/4)

Another day another review request (10 days). With the usual ‘suggest alternatives from underrepresented communities’. This approach doesn’t just overburden the underrepresented groups, it under-burdens the overrepresented ones, freeing them up to do stuff that is ‘objectively’ judged as ‘better’.
