My co-first author paper now out in @Nature SWR1 specifically exchanges H2A/H2B dimers for Htz1/H2B dimers in nucleosomes. Here we show double dimer exchange can be processive, explaining how SWR1 ‘proofreads’ dimer identity in a nucleosome. https://t.co/giVaXL7YLl

What's the most feared part of giving a talk? Answering questions.. Yet, this is the best place to clarify your ideas & create an atmosphere where the audience gets to a higher level of understanding & satisfaction. Here's the effective method I learned from @UriAlonWeizmann!

Now out in @embojournal: FMI researchers in the @MarcBhler4 lab discovered that yeast communicate through secreted molecules to switch to less favorable nutrients when food is scarce, using mitochondrial proteins to decide the best menu 🍔

To grow and survive, tiny organisms such as yeast must sometimes adapt their nutrient sources in response to changes in the environment. FMI researchers have now found that yeast cells communicate...

The Journal Club by @NatRevMCB is a nice format to revisit papers having an impact on the field. Thanks for the opportunity to write about the study by Jih et al. on distinct roles of H3K9me2/me3 describing how #heterochromatin can be transcribed while still being silenced.

We identified a complex network of proteins that regulate MMEJ:NHEJ repair pathway balance in a chromatin context-dependent manner. With impact on cancer genomes. Paper is finally out:

Nature Communications - DNA double-strand breaks are repaired by multiple pathways. The balance of these pathways depends on the local chromatin context, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly...
