Our paper is now out in Nature: “Ancient co-option of LTR retrotransposons as yeast centromeres” www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short thread on how retrotransposons helped give rise to yeast point centromeres. 1/14

Ancient co-option of LTR retrotransposons as yeast centromeres - Nature

Evolutionarily related ‘proto-point’ centromeres providing resolution to the evolutionary origins of point centromeres are identified in yeast, and comparison shows they evolved in an ancestor with re...

SET1/MLL complexes control transcription independently of H3K4me3

Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) at gene promoters is thought to play a central role in gene transcription. H3K4 methylation is deposited by the SET1 (A/B) and MLL (1-4) multi-protein comp...

Excellent Op-Ed by Peter Zandstra on improving 🇨🇦 science at a time when 🇺🇸 is throttling their golden goose. Instead of bespoke, targeted & ultimately short term solutions limited to a few people, build a deep, more attractive ecosysyem. The best will thrive. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/46242ee...

Canada’s U.S. brain gain is risky without more foundational support for science

Scientists want to come to Canada not only to escape the chaos and uncertainty emerging in U.S. science but also because they are drawn to the energy here
