Curious about the seemingly contradictory functions of m6A in R-loops? Check out this comment by @a_abakir & @AlexeyRuzov out in @NatureGenet where they propose a new model for a dual function of m6A in R-loop regulation. nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Preprint alert! 🎉 @C_D_Todd and the team used multi-omic profiling of human and mouse embryonic development to identify a conserved program of epigenetic priming at lineage specific enhancers for all three germ layers within the epiblast.

The product of a large and exciting international collaboration! Our study investigating the consequences of the endocrine disruptors DDT/ DDE on the sperm epigenome of Greenlandic Inuit and South African VhaVenda men is finally out.

Very excited to share that our work reconstructing chromothripsis has now been published in @CellGenomics! We reconstructed chromosomes with up to 800 rearrangements on a single allele and queried epigenetic and transcriptomic consequences. Thread below!

Single cell multi-omics (scNMT-seq) showed reduced chromatin accessibility and disrupted nucleosome positioning at ZGA genes. This suggests a novel link between the maternally deposited chromatin remodeller SMARCA5 and transcription initiation in mammalian embryos.

Preprint alert 🎉🐁👩🔬🧬! @OanaKubinyecz used Trim Away to deplete SMARCA5 in mouse zygotes and found that in its absence major ZGA is impaired in 2-cell embryos. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In our latest publication, we recapitulated features of early human #development and characterised the #epigenetic landscape of naive and primed hPSCs in vitro. We found that X chromosome erosion is reversed by resetting and subsequent hPSCs capacitation: science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Excited for the pre-print of our latest work to go public! In this study, we discovered that DNA damage tolerance is required for mammalian primordial germ cell DNA demethylation and development biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
