New paper out in @ScienceAdvances TOP2B activity is locally inhibited during the estrogen response to favour the accumulation of DNA supercoiling and regulatory chromatin contacts that trigger transcriptional induction science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

TOP2B modulates DNA supercoiling and chromatin contacts during transcriptional induction

During the estrogen response, TOP2B activity controls DNA supercoiling to shape chromatin contacts and regulate gene induction.

The repairome is ‘a platform for new discoveries', which has already helped to detect new genetic mechanisms involved in kidney cancer, and will allows progress ‘towards full control of CRISPR-Cas gene-editing technologies’. Infographic: @CireniaSketches  bit.ly/4fGk4CV

🧬Errores en la replicación del ADN de las mitocondrias —un componente celular— se asocian a trastornos neurodegenerativos como el alzhéimer y el párkinson. Con una ayuda #CaixaResearch, @rfleiro investigará cómo contribuyen estos errores a las patologías, lo que permitirá desarrollar nuevas aproximaciones terapéuticas. tinyurl.com/5n7etfrr
