I'm happy to share the first paper from my postdoc work: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... How does RecA find one homologous sequence in an entire chromosome -and what turns that encounter into a repair-competent one? We find that DNA topology is the gatekeeper !! 1/10

Chromosome topology gates productive RecA homology search

In homologous recombination, DNA repair depends on recombinase filaments finding homologous templates on chromosomes whose topology is continually remodeled by replication and transcription. How dynam...

So thankful for winning the Poster Prize at @fusionconf.bsky.social in Prokaryotic Cell Biology for my research on the effects of chromosome topology on DNA repair! Looking forward to developing the work further and sharing more soon !! 🤩🤩

Our preprint is now published in PNAS! This came together thanks to a great collaboration with Antoine Hocher and a strong team effort from the Le Lab. Thank you to the reviewers and to everyone who helped improve it. I hope ParB aficionados will enjoy it. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Here's a new very exciting paper from our #CDlab: www.cell.com/cell-reports... In an exemplary in vitro/in vivo study, 1st authors ‪@btanalikwu.bsky.social‬ & Alice Deshayes showed that dense linear protein arrays (e.g. telomeres) do stop loop-extruding SMCs! Great collaboration with Marcand lab.

Just watched a podcast with Jiankui He, the first person to go. through with CRISPR editing in human babies in 2018. He started a complex debate (both in productive and destructive ways) on ethics in science, future of gene editing and safety of current methods.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch03...

Nice to see that Science(.org) supports and spreads awareness of the massive protests currently ongoing in Serbia! Peaceful protests lead by Serbian University students (later joined by many others), have gathered more than 200 000 people on occasions! www.science.org/content/arti...

Scientists rally in support of Serbia’s anticorruption protests

But some criticize “weak and formal” support for protests from scientific institutions

What is the multiscale structure of chromatin condensates? How does it shape thermodynamic and material properties? We address this at near-atomistic resolution🔥🔥🔥 using cryoET (Rosen & Villa labs, led by H Zhou), a new multiscale model (K Russell) and cryoET-guided sims (J Huertas & J Maristany)

Glad to receive the trust and recognition in being awarded a Dutch NWO Rubicon Fellowship for important work on antibiotic resistance. I will be tackling this problem using a combination of biophysics, biochemistry and microbiology in Joe Loparo lab at Harvard Medical School (Dept. of BCMP).

About the price of a hefty GPU workstation, close to a student’s annual consumables cost in the lab, attendence to 5 conferences, full week of Krios data collection, cost of ~100 samples for proteomics data collection… so many things to better spend the money than these outrageous publishing fees.

The truth is nobody should care how many protein coding genes there are. The gene is a useful abstraction that loses its utility when defined precisely enough to count.
