🧬🎉 Our new chromatin remodeling study is out: We reveal three states of human CHD1 and identify a novel "anchor element" that interacts with the acidic patch—conserved among remodelers. Our structures clarify mechanisms of remodeler recruitment! Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1l2ik3vVUPVa…

The U.S. National Institutes of Health’s recent decision to impose a 15% cap on facilities and administrative cost reimbursements is misguided and damaging, argue the authors of a new #SciencePolicyForum. scim.ag/41L2C9P
Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's a dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv
On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were
1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
In our SETD2 paper, we visualize a novel nucleosome transfer intermediate during txn. It is the earliest intermediate visualized yet. In the intermediate, the histone chaperone FACT coordinates histone binding with a previously uncharacterized RTF1 helix: tinyurl.com/setd2
We are happy these studies provide new insight into coupling of nucleosome remodeling to transcription elongation. Sarah will be defending her PhD next week!
Excited by these findings we made some mutants in mES cells to ask if disrupting this interaction resulted in similar changes to CHD distribution and nucleosome positions. Perhaps due to complexity or resolution, we don't observe these changes.
Happy to share the latest preprint which is a close collaboration with @ArndtLab with a shared PhD student, Sarah Tripplehorn. Here we show a direct interaction between Chd1 and Paf1C subunit Rtf1 required for nucleosome positioning across genes: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
