Several roadblocks must be overcome to make molecular biology more sustainable, but @GreenLabGuy @ucl argues that we must treat sustainability like we do health and safety in the lab—as a necessity.
ALT "Currently we have de-incentivized sustainability. Not only are many sustainability initiatives entirely voluntary, many scientists don’t see how their work impacts energy consumption, carbon emissions, or often even finances. We need to review these systems if we want sustainability to be fully integrated, just like health and safety is today." - Martin Farley, University College London

a while ago I posed this question...

28 Feb 2023
Biophysics question:
In transcription, RNApol generates positive supercoils ahead of it and negative ones behind it
WHY?
Why doesn’t RNApol instead simply track 1 strand of the duplex, follow its helical twist along the duplex, and thus rotate without any supercoil generation?

This study is amazing! I always wondered if the role of nucleosomes was more about DNA supercoils than 'packaging', these different topologies are a nice hint in that direction. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Did you know JQ1 directly targets BRD4 at centromeres? #Epigenetics is more than gene regulation! To find out more read our updated BioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thanks chromatin community! We’ve been digging around in your repetitive DNA (>40,000 ChIP-seq samples) and have discovered a totally unexpected role for BRD4 and JQ1 at centromeres. Very happy to share our preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
