Are you interested in DNA replication, DNA repair or chromatin? Do you have a passion to find out how proteins function in these processes? Are you collaborative and ambitious? Check out these open positions in my lab (and @FMattiroli lab): hubrecht.eu/about-us/working…
If you are interested in an update on G-quadruplex (G4) structure resolution @QuadruplexPape1, check out our review in the special issue of DNA repair on genome maintenance @DNArepair. Many thanks to Koichi Sato @KoichiS0813 who did most of the work. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
Still trying to recruit a PhD student for a Marie Curie ITN network, which focuses on 'chromatinopathies', syndromes caused by mutations in chromatin associated proteins. Check it out, deadline end of August, please RT:

My first steps into science were on this study during my internship in @marcelvanvugt's lab, under the ever-patient supervision of @StokColin. Great to see it out now, congrats!
A tale of two disasters: Missing #Titanic sub captivates the world days after deadly migrant shipwreck nbcnews.com/news/world/syria… by @chantaladasilva via @nbcnews@sunderland_jude: "The willingness to allow certain people to die while every effort is made to save others ... it’s a, you know, really dark reflection on humanity."
How do LINE family retrotransposons jump around?
Can we reprogram retrotransposons?
What does this have to do with Rum and Raisin?

Dat frame van “BBB negeren = burger negeren” is enkel gebaseerd op het feit dat BBB “de grootste” is geworden in een politiek landschap van lilliputters. Maar NL als geheel heeft uitgesproken pro-klimaat en pro-stikstofbeleid gestemd (GL PvdA Volt Dieren D66 kabinet)
Ever wondered whether there is a function for colocalization of #Gquadruplex (G4) structures and #Rloops? In this pre-print we show how DNA:RNA hybrid formation promotes G4 suppression to maintain genome integrity (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…). 1/7
We broke the world record in ancient DNA today! 2-million-year-old DNA from plants and animals were retrieved from geological deposits and show that North Greenland was once home to an open boreal/arctic community incl. mastodon. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…natureasia.com/en/research/h…

Not many people know David Bowie wrote the song “Heroes” (“We can be heroes, just for one day”) after he and his bench mate considered cleaning the lab scale (they ended up getting coffee instead)
Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!
