- Reposted by Ander Movilla🚨 New preprint from the lab. Combining modeling and data analysis of SisterC data in yeast, we investigate cohesion of replicated chromosomes and show that sister chromatids are loosely and asymmetrically aligned in G2/M.

- Reposted by Ander Movilla1/ 🚀 AEBP2 isn’t what we thought. You were told that AEBP2 promotes PRC2 activity on chromatin. We found the opposite: the most prevalent AEBP2 isoform inhibits PRC2 activity. 👉 surl.li/cgwqcq A thread 🧵

- Reposted by Ander Movilla📢 New preprint ! Please check if you are interested in the comparison between 2d and 3d nematic theories 🤔 I show that the 2d description can lead to artefacts on curved surfaces, and I propose a thin film description of nematic shells with full 3d orientation ! This was a funny summer project 😊

- Reposted by Ander MovillaCheck out our new work, led by talented @janhuemar.bsky.social, where we uncover that pioneer factor Oct4 remodels chromatin for DNA access not by opening it but by exploiting nucleosome breathing and forming clusters 🔥🔥🔥
- 🚨 🚨 🚨 New preprint alert!!! 🚨 🚨 🚨 In the past, we have learnt that Oct4 can induce nucleosome breathing on the mono-nucleosome level. But what happens when you have a fibre of multiple nucleosomes? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @rcollepardo.bsky.social @juliamaristany.bsky.social
