Excited to share our new paper on Nature - how Ku accommodates Alu expansion in primates by binding to dsRNA, providing a clue for both the high levels of Ku and its essentiality in human cells. Thank @chaolinzhang @hchung03 @LenaSteckelberg More to come

Are you ready for Social DNAing again? Dr. Thijn Brummelkamp who made landmark discovery on SLFN11 will tell us the new screen to uncover alternative pathways. Sign up. cancer.columbia.edu/research…
Thank Songtao! Social DNAing will take one week break because the unforeseen condition. We will have Dr. Thijn Brummelkamp join us on Oct 22 from Netherland. Sign up at cancer.columbia.edu/research…
We had a last minute change of schedule. Dr. Pommier will be rescheduled for Oct 29th. Dr. Songtao Jia from Columbia will share his work on the epigenetic regulation of DNA! Please sign up. cancer.columbia.edu/research…
Dr. Yves Pommier from NIH - an expert in topoisomerase and one of the early discovery of SLFN11 in chemo-resistant will visit Social DNAing this week. Sign up at cancer.columbia.edu/research…
DNA is wrapped in chromatin for protection and for regulation. Dr. Downs will tell us how nucleosome dynamics is regulated in DNA repair and replication. Sign up at cancer.columbia.edu/research…
Unfortunately, this week's social DNAing will be cancelled due to unforeseen reasons. We will see you all next week for Dr. Jessica Down's webinar. Please sign in.
Is DNA repair conserved? or maybe not? This week Dr. Gorbunova would tell us how other animals preserve their genome for longavity and cancer prevention.
