We are delighted to establish our new Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology @EdinburghUni and grateful to @wellcometrust for support. @SBSatEd @WTcell
Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ https://t.co/bpf06twPqu

Really beautiful and important work by @CurrieCerys @kinetochore @EmmaFor37870390. Happy also for @BMihalas contribution. The first division of human embryos is frequently chaotic!
So pleased to see this paper officially published! We visualised chromosomes in live human embryos for the first time using two methods, and found that the first embryonic mitosis is extended, and frequently shows lagging chromosomes and multipolar chromosome segregation...

Excited to see this out in @eLife . Many congratulations to Rachael, Lucia and Dan. Thanks to the reviewers and editors for a positive experience. Chromatin loops are really important for meiosis! https://t.co/8eBBPClqmU

Meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation require the establishment of chromatin boundaries by the acetyltransferase Eco1, which anchors both chromatin loops and cohesion.
