Exploring the biology of repetitive satellite DNA.
Zurich, Switzerland
Joined February 2019
Jagannathan Lab news - Part 1 A new paper from the lab jointly led by super students @flyhi_ankita and @Skrutlnize. https://t.co/8CTNhovavU We performed a multi-tissue proteomic screen using our favourite satellite DNA-binding proteins, D1 and Prod, as baits. (1/6)

The pericentromeric heterochromatin of eukaryotic chromosomes primarily consists of abundant non-coding repeats known as satellite DNA, which promote accurate chromosome segregation and genome...

Proud to have out this paper at @PNASNews from @LisaKursel and Jesus on the synaptonemal complex in C. elegans. It includes what is probably the most beautiful genetic data I was ever involved in analyzing - check it out!

Successful chromosome segregation into gametes depends on tightly regulated interactions between the parental chromosomes. During meiosis, chromoso...

My lab's technician posting closes tomorrow. If have an interest in genetics, DNA repeats, germ cells, and how these relate to aging, there is still time to apply! Learn more at
I am hiring a research technician for my new lab at Stony Brook University! The lab is new, but we share space with others, allowing to work directly with the PI (me) while having a great larger community in lab. Please share! https://t.co/vcWE6KhnrM

@sandhya_manohar @MolecularCell @FEBSJournal This beautiful figure created by @sandhya_manohar illustrates nicley how hyperactive cell growth might sensitize cancer cells to CDK inhibitors as suggested by the recent findings the @DeRobertus @Alexis_Barr @_tonyly @AdeSaurin labs and our group

Do you use cell cycle arresting drugs in your research? Were you excited about recent papers on the relationship between cell size and senescence in @MolecularCell? If you answered yes to either of these, check out our review in @FEBSJournal! ๐งต(1/5) https://t.co/R8knKpGW50

ETH Zurich researchers are illuminating what can happen when cells exceed their normal size and become senescent. Their new findings could help to optimise cancer treatments. https://t.co/NqO2A3Q5NN

Are you curious about the proteins orchestrating nuclear architecture? Whether and how chromatin organization affects gene expression and cell fate? Check out our preprint showcasing recent work in collaboration with the @ericjoycelab and @RanganLab.
biorxiv.org
The association of genomic loci to the nuclear periphery is proposed to facilitate cell-type specific gene repression and influence cell fate decisions. However, the interplay between gene position...

Can cell growth become a competitive disadvantage? We think yes โ In the first paper from our lab (๐) super postdoc @sandhya_manohar finds that excessive cell growth destabilizes the genome - a collaboration with @federico_uliana and @DeRobertus

Ever wonder why cells of the same type tend to have a pretty uniform size? Check out our new paper out in @MolecularCell today to find out why too big can be a bad thing in terms of genome homeostasis and proliferative potential. ๐งต (1/9) https://t.co/OHRq0ls7P9

Manohar etย al. studied how increased cell sizeโa hallmark of senescenceโimpairs long-term proliferation. Excess cell size activates p53-p21 signaling and impairs 53BP1 recruitment to DNA double-str...

Super excited to share together with @jocelyne_vreede and Peter Bolhuis my first research paper published in Nucleic Acids Research! We have developed a molecular simulation approach for predicting dissociation free energies of protein-DNA complexes:

Our first research paper is now published at nature! ๐๐ญ๐ฌWe found that F1 hybrid female mice can have defective chromosome condensation in oocytes, creating a reproductive isolating barrier. Congrats again to our postdoc, Warif El Yakoubi๐ https://t.co/olybynbVwQ

Our colleagues in the Kroschewski lab just published a new paper where they describe the 'exclusome' - a cytoplasmic container of extrachromosomal circular DNA. Congratulations to all the authors! Here is a layman's version on the ETH website:

Cell biologists at ETH Zurich describe a new organelle present in mammalian cells that is made of rings of DNA. This container could potentially play a role in autoimmune diseases, and it could help...
