⚡️Out now ⚡️! Our review on the role of H2Aub1 in brain development and disease! Fantastic effort from Lucy Ní Dhubhghaill, Firuze U-B, Eleftheria C, Dr. Charlotte Repton and Alex D. Out in 'Polycomb Proteins' special issue of Epigenomes MDPI - guest edited by Luciano Di Croce and Lluis Morey. 🥳🎉

Are you looking to do PhD? Interested in #stemcells #neuroscience #epigenetics #chromatin, #genomics? Exciting fully funded Ph.D studentship to in Madapura lab Blizard Institute @qmulepigenetics Barts and The London, Queen Mary👌stipend 🙏Barts Charity apply now tinyurl.com/yckrs9pj

Do extrachromosomal DNA (#ecDNA) cluster closely with each other to drive amplified transcription of their resident oncogenes in #glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells? We have explored this in our paper out in eLife - the journal now 1/10 elifesciences.org/articles/80207…

Thrilled to share a preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) combining single-cell RNA-seq and multiplex reporter assays. Amazing collab with stem cells and genomics wizard Samuel Gabriel Regalado, and many folks in Jay Shendure lab. (1/14)

Registering your interest now. Please share this with your colleagues and friends. Opportunity to network & collaborate with chromatin experts. Plenty of slots for ECR talks selected from the abstract at this Biochemical Society #chromatinUK event.

How do distal enhancers control transcription dynamics in living cells? Check out our latest work published in Molecular Cell!! We show that the dynamic assembly and disassembly of TF clusters at enhancers are a major source of transcriptional bursting. cell.com/molecular-cell…


Is our research into the 'dark genome' the coolest science in the world? Unexpected Elements came to find out for BBC World Service radio. Director Wendy Bickmore and Shiprabhatia discuss PAX6, zebrafish models and naked mole rats... Listen from 33:22: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

Hey ZDMSociety! For the next two weeks your Early Career Investigator Committee will highlight some of the great speakers at #ZDM17! Meet keynote Dr. Leila Akkari! Immune cells, cancer and more in Portugal Oct 8-10. Abstract deadline April 8th! zdmsociety.org/zdm17 #zdmsECI


Happy Friday ZDMSociety! 3 more days to send in abstracts to #ZDM17!! Yi Feng Yi Feng and Maria Luisa Cayuela Fuentes maria luisa cayuela are today’s featured speakers…see their work and lots more in Lisbon, Oct 8-10 zdmsociety.org/zdm17 #zdmsECI


Nice correlation between massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) and mouse enhancer assays and great neurodev enhancer catalog. Great work and collaboration from Michael Kosicki, @DianneLaboy, Len Pennacchio and many others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Massively parallel jumping assay (MPJA). High throughput assay to assess the jumping potential of thousands of retrotransposon sequences/haplotypes. Amazing work by Navneet Matharu, Jingjing_Zhao, Martin Kircher and many others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


I am fundraising for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. Check out their JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/Sh…



Many thanks to all who attended our Decoding the Non-coding Genome Workshop last week at Edinburgh Futures Institute . We heard from four fantastic speakers - Jess Powell, Lindsey Plenderleith (The Roslin Institute), Abdelaziz Beqqali (EdinUniCVS) and Shiprabhatia (Institute of Genetics and Cancer) .
