Thrilled to share our new work bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our Repli-Histo labeling marks nucleosomes in euchromatin and heterochromatin in live cells. We reveal genome chromatin is essentially replicated from regions with greater nucleosome motions. 1/2

I'll have a poster presentation on The 12th 3R+3C Meeting at Fukuoka (My hometown!!!) Look forward to sharing our work to revise the textbook-model of Linker Histone H1. See you in Poster Session 2, P2-48!!!

Katsuhiko Minami and Masa A. Shimazoe won the “Excellent Poster Award” nig.ac.jp/nig/2024/11/in…

I made an account on Bluesky! I’ll be posting the same content as here for a while. bsky.app/profile/masaas…

We often speak about chromatin as being accessible or inaccessible, but what does it mean? We wrote a short review on this, 🔬 focused: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… A big thank you to Tom Fillot for his efforts on this and to ASHansen Lab marcelo nollmann for their help as editors.

Our new review on how the #chromatin domain is formed in the cell is out @ Curr Opin Struct Biol.📄✨ We critically discuss the domain formation mechanism from a physical perspective, including #phase-separation and #condensation. 📥 Free-download link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1keGn,LqArXq…

Linker histone H1 functions as a liquid-like glue to organize chromatin in living human cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_cellbio

My first, first author paper is now on bioRxiv! 🤩 Linker histone H1 is a liquid-like "glue" condensing chromatin, which revises textbooks! 📖✨ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Huge thanks to my PI, Kazuhiro Maeshima, for supervision. Amazing collab with Rosana Collepardo’s group!" (1/n)

Our new preprint is out＠bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Masa A. Shimazoe et al. reveal that linker histone H1 acts as a liquid-like "glue" to organize chromatin in living cells. 🎉 Fantastic collab with Rosana Collepardo, Charlie Phillips, Jan Huertas and others—huge thanks! 🙌 1/2

Congratulations!🥰🤣

I am seeking an Assistant Professor in my lab. If you are interested, please contact me! 📩 国立遺伝研ゲノムダイナミクス研究室で助教を公募中です。ご興味のある方はぜひご連絡ください！ RTお願いします。 🔄 #AcademicJobs #AssistantProfessor #助教公募

Honored to receive the SOKENDAI Award from 総研大 (総合研究大学院大学) for my PhD work! I can't thank Kazuhiro Maeshima, labmates and 国立遺伝学研究所 members enough for their support!. また、博士論文に対し、光栄なことにSOKENDAI賞をいただきました! これからもサイエンスの発展に貢献できるよう頑張ります。

Our new paper is out Science Advances👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧬Our Repli-Histo labeling marks nucleosomes in euchromatin and heterochromatin in live human cells. 🔍Katsuhiko Minami et al.have developed a chromatin behavior atlas within the nucleus. 1/2

🧬My retrospective chromatin review is out@Proc Jpn Acad: doi.org/10.2183/pjab.1… Textbook models of 30-nm fibers are fading. A new paradigm: chromatin forms liquid-like domains—locally dynamic, yet globally stable at chromosome level (viscoelastic)—supporting genome function.✨
