What is the molecular basis for maintaining centromere size and position? In a great collaboration with @NAltemose @GiuntaLab and @FachinettiLab labs, we investigate the long standing question of how heterochromatin maintains centromere size/position! https://t.co/I41gYDcL8B

🎉 Excited to share my first paper as 2nd author! From the Barr & Gruneberg labs, this work explores the structure of the Chromosome Passenger Complex (CPC) and suggests a ‘pivot–tether’ model for how it binds H3pT3-phosphorylated nucleosomes (1/2) @BiochemOxford @Dunn_School

Happy to share our latest work on the structure and assembly of holocentric kinetochores! Huge thanks to Ines for a very fruitful collaboration, Claudio for all the support, and congratulations to Christine and all co-authors! https://t.co/PP5oUXVdvW

🚨 Hot off the press!!! Wanted to share this to celebrate the momentous achievement from the @GiuntaLab and for the human centromere / genomics communities as a whole... more posts to come next week but for now, happy Fourth & happy reading ❤️🧬💻

A three year postdoctoral position is available in my group, investigating plant centromere structure, function and evolution @plantsci https://t.co/mW072iZPGz

My group is hiring a new Postdoc to work on gene regulation and chromatin in Nematostella. Please RT! For more information see here: https://t.co/vHA6sDoEMm https://t.co/6gxsBDkYFh

I’m excited to share the first manuscript out of my PhD work with @NAltemose, in which we describe FiberFold: a deep learning tool that predicts cell-type-specific and haplotype-specific 3D genome organization from a single experiment! https://t.co/FwJldYnCGe 1/

We are very excited to launch the registration for our 2025 symposium on 'Chromatin, Epigenetics and Transcription' today! Join us at @tcddublin on May 28th for this event featuring keynote, new PI and PhD/postdoc talks and posters! Free registration: https://t.co/pTyAyps6yb

🌟 Our #ResearchIsBeautiful campaign continues to inspire! Congratulations to Danny Gold from the University of Oxford for his stunning image which captures microtubules attaching to chromosomes via kinetochores to form mitotic spindles. Hear more from

Biology papers be like "The nucleus is part of the cell and contains a lot of DNA. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated deposition of H3K27me3 establishes domains of facultative heterochromatin, silencing gene expression in a developmentally regulated manner."

Very excited to share our work @MahlkeMegan in great collaboration with @NAltemose @khmiga Peter Campbell and Rachel O'Neill revealing that human centromeres are heterogenous and naturally evolve over prolonged proliferation. Check it out here https://t.co/63TVGStzds

Happy to contribute to this excellent story about heterochromatin role in centromere maintenance, led by @ben_carty93 ! Heterochrom. boundaries control centromere expansion, drift & number! Great usage of induced neocentromere model and modern epigenomics across the labs🥳

Fancy a postdoc on human centromere formation/inheritance in Oxford? Get those applications in! If anyone has questions about what a postdoc in the lab/Oxford is like, just drop me a message!

Our paper discovering a centromere-localized retroelement RNA is now out in @GenomeBiology 🎉! Transcription of this retroelement is higher in CENP-A chromatin where insertions of this element seem to occur preferentially. Pls check it out and RT!

I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!

I’m excited to share the first preprint out of the Altemose Lab! This stems from a heroic effort by Dr. Matt Franklin @matt_franklin_ (who's on the job market!), who made surprising discoveries regarding some of the most mysterious regions of the genome.

Repeat after me: LAB WEBSITES MATTER! While it may seem like a nice-to-have... in today's world, it's a need-to-have. For you, your trainees, and your prospective team members. I couldn't have written this better myself: https://t.co/f92599V9p3

HRB Summer Student Scholarships are now open to support undergraduate students complete short research projects during the summer. The purpose of the scholarship scheme is to encourage research interest. Learn more here: https://t.co/Wyn7VQqDKa #ResearchOpportunity

Want to do a DPhil @BiochemOxford ? Here is a link ( https://t.co/91DzUxEkId) to programmes that admit students. Great labs to choose from. Have a look at https://t.co/xRFjpV4GRP if you want to know more what we do in my group! Please RT!
