Thrilled to share our paper is out in @PLOSBiology! 🎉 We explore how satDNA organization is linked to transposon repression. A huge thanks to my amazing co-first author @flyhi_ankita and all the collaborators who made this possible! 💕 Check it out here

Thrilled to share that our preprint on the role of satellite DNA in homologous chromosome pairing is out 🎉 https://t.co/BW6L1wS1TM I’m deeply grateful to my incredible co-authors, @FlyJagannathan & everyone who provided suggestions and support 💕 https://t.co/PwPlRxGb8d

1 month left of the Phd, nothing is working, and thesis isn't finished yet..... its fine

Excited to share our work in collaboration with the @ericjoycelab and @RanganLab highlighting the role of Stonewall in chromatin organization in Drosophila female germline, now published and featured on the cover @GenesDev. https://t.co/BYC40LFTD9 https://t.co/9wQnAUSZxr

A new study from @LabSantoro shows how nucleolus attracts genomics domains and establishes repressive chromatin marks. Special thanks to the contributors! Go now and check it out -

A green alga cell can swim 100 microns per second. Scientists put little baskets on a wheel. As algae became trapped, they pushed and spun the wheel around.

Extremely jazzed to be awarded an @snsf_ch Ambizione grant! I'll be joining @DmmdUzh as a junior group leader where I'll be studying the intersection between cell size, senescence, and genome maintenance. Big thanks to @altmeyerlab 1/2

pretty wild: a woman with amygdala damage was ~literally fearless, so doctors are like "hm what if we make you breathe a lot of CO2, probably won't bother you" but whoops "this was the first time patient SM experienced fear in any setting...since childhood"

the synaptonemal complex of a single chromosome looks a lot like a snake moving around inside the meiotic nucleus!

This is what the end of a PhD looks like if you even care

Me, every year at this time

Wishing all the fly-pushers out there a wonderful #DrosophilaDay/#FlyDay as we celebrate the anniversary (11/18) of the isolation of the #Drosophila white-eyed mutant line w1118! #DrosLife #SciArt #FruitFlyArt

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.

Barcodes are everywhere, but what about in biology? In our new preprint we propose that somatic homolog pairing could be mediated by non-specific interaction "buttons" arranged in a barcode pattern 🧵 https://t.co/0w9HJk7aVv

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)
