IJM Seminar – Joao Matos – 10/10/2023

Invited by the Wassmann Lab, Joao Matos (Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: Building, maintaining and discarding large macromolecular assemblies during gametogenesis The life cycle of sexually reproducing eukaryotes depends on two specialized chromosome segregation programs: mitosis and meiosis. Whereas mitosis drives cellular proliferation and the stable propagation…

IJM Seminar – Daniel J. Cohen – 25/09/2023

Invited by the Ladoux/Mège team, Daniel J. Cohen (Princeton University) will present an IJM seminar on the theme: ‘Chiens de berger’ cellulaires: understanding and controlling collective cell behaviors Collective cell behaviors are fundamental to the coordinated migration, proliferation, and decision-making of cells in a multicellular organism. Imagine if we could program these behaviors, effectively ‘herding’ cells…

Doye Lab – Metazoan nuclear pore complexes in gene regulation and genome stability

The Doye Lab recently contributed to the publication of a new article in DNA Repair: Metazoan nuclear pore complexes in gene regulation and genome stability Abstract: The nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), one of the hallmarks of eukaryotic nuclei, allow selective transport of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Besides this canonical function, an increasing number of additional roles have…

Greenberg Lab – A genetic screen identifies BEND3 as a regulator of bivalent gene expression and global DNA methylation

The Greenberg Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in Nucleic Acids Research: A genetic screen identifies BEND3 as a regulator of bivalent gene expression and global DNA methylation   Abstract:  Epigenetic mechanisms are essential to establish and safeguard cellular identities in mammals. They dynamically regulate the expression of genes, transposable elements and higher-order chromatin structures. Consequently,…

Prioleau Lab – Histone H3 serine-57 is a CHK1 substrate whose phosphorylation affects DNA repair

The Prioleau Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in Nature communications : Histone H3 serine-57 is a CHK1 substrate whose phosphorylation affects DNA repair Abstract: Histone post-translational modifications promote a chromatin environment that controls transcription, DNA replication and repair, but surprisingly few phosphorylations have been documented. We report the discovery of histone H3 serine-57…
