Fumiko Esashi Lab at @Dunn_School, @UniofOxford. Curious about DNA repair, replication and chromosome segregation, the things that make us who we are.

Ever wonder what’s happening at centromeres in resting cells? Our latest study, led by @xssaayman and in collab with @nussenza, demonstrates striking enrichment of DNA breaks at centromeres in quiescent human cells. Excited to share this work @MolecularCell now!

We are delighted to share our latest work, characterising the role of BRCA2 and its binding partner PALB2 at centromeres, just out in the latest issue of Cell Reports.

This study, conceived 8 years ago, was made possible by a global collab across the UK, USA, Japan and Turkey. The team efforts of Emily and Lucia, relayed by Brian, Jacob, Emoke and Ramazan @rguendogdu, and invaluable assistance from many others, brought this research to life.

We find interesting DNA repair mechanisms that are regulated differently in quiescent cells. Excellent work by two talented PhD students, Brian and Jacob, who have contributed equally. There is definitely a lot more to learn and we welcome any feedback you may have!

#1 Happy to share our work “Specialized replication mechanisms maintain genome stability at human centromeres” @MolecularCell from A. Scelfo, A. Angrisani and T. Wilhelm @institut_curie @CNRS where we provide the causes of centromere fragility.

Happy to share our review article, discussing DNA strand breaks at centromeres🧬Are they all toxic? We explore their origins and impact across cell cycle stages and quiescence - open access⬇️
