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. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Nucleosome flipping drives kinetic proofreading and processivity by SWR1

Nature - Nucleosome flipping mediates a proofreading and processive mechanism of histone exchange driven by the chromatin remodeller SWR1.

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 🍔 fmi.ch/news-events/articles/…

Yeast chit-chat: How microorganisms talk food shortages

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 are delighted to announce that Professor Edith Heard has been appointed as our new director and chief executive! Edith, who is currently director-general at @EMBL, will succeed Paul Nurse in leading the Crick from the summer of 2025. 🔗 crick.ac.uk/news/2024-07-09_…
"The Francis Crick Institute has quickly established a global reputation for its work at the frontiers of science. I relish the challenge of building on that work. I also want to pay tribute to Sir Paul Nurse, without whom the Francis Crick Institute would not be the world-leading institution it is today." - Edith Heard
