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: ru.nl/sites/default/files/20…

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!

How do LINE family retrotransposons jump around? Can we reprogram retrotransposons? What does this have to do with Rum and Raisin? Answers here and below!

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)

Check out this new mechanistic story from my colleagues at the @PKnipscheer lab @_Hubrecht! On the interplay between G4s, R-loops and genome integrity. Great work - as always - from @KoichiS0813! 🧬🐸 #genomeintegrity #xenopus
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

Cool stuff!
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…

Interesting talks today again at the bi-monthly DNA repair meeting, jointly organized by @haicovanattikum @LUMC_Leiden and Wim Vermeulen @MolecularGenet3 @oncodeinstitute!

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!
