Check out our new paper! We did Cryo-EM on native Pol II elongation complexes isolated from Drosophila embryos. This was an incredible collaboration across multiple labs and is now available for your perusal. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are sharing a tool developed initially for internal use called VOSE (Volume Operations Simplified Edition) today. It is written specifically to work in ChimeraX (version 1.5+), with no additional libraries necessary to be installed. github.com/jparmachelab...

A wonderful collaboration between Jess Tyler lab, @epicypher.bsky.social, @gcloner.bsky.social, James Kadonaga and our lab at PSU. In this article, we provide the significance of the nucleosome acidic patch.  doi.org/10.64898/202...

New collaborative paper between JPArmache and Bowman (@bowmanlab-jhu.bsky.social) labs show how the yeast CHD1 chromatin remodeler depends on activator elements to distort nucleosomal DNA. This explains how the NegC inhibitor blocks activity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A competitive regulatory mechanism of the Chd1 remodeler is integral to distorting nucleosomal DNA - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Nodelman, Folkwein et al. define a regulatory region in Chd1 containing adjacent inhibitor and activator elements that compete for binding to the remodeler ATPase. The competition between these elemen...

We did a thing... We purified native transcriptional complexes from Drosophila embryos, obtaining +/- stalk Pol II elongation complexes, native nucleosomes, as well as a nucleosome elongation complex. For more details please check out: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
