The Jacques Monod Conference on the mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination is approaching. There are selected talk slots available. Abstract submission deadline: Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

600 directrices et directeurs d’unités du CNRS alertent sur les coupes budgétaires qu’ils qualifient de « rupture » : on leur demande de restituer des crédits DÉJÀ alloués aux laboratoires.

Our new review on NHEJ just came out on G&D genesdev.cshlp.org/cgi/content/... Highlight the 5 phases, and importantly, the 5 protein bridges that bring the 2 DNA ends together for NHEJ. Thank Dr. Geunil Yi, for generating the illustration for all structural models.

Really pleased to share this story from Amphista Therapeutics on the discovery and MoA of a potent and selective BRD9 "targeted glue" degrader. The compound also works in vivo and is orally bioavailable! Fantastic work from the team on a super fun project! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm honoured to speak at the upcoming Genome Instability & Cancer Conference, celebrating the legacy of Angelos Constantinou. His pioneering work transformed our understanding of DNA repair. Register now to join us near his home town in France in March! www.tribute2angelos.fr/page/home/

Hi DNA/RNA folks! With @granzhan.bsky.social @sebastien-britton.bsky.social @glowsticks.bsky.social and others we are launching an International Research Network (IRN) on nucleic acid junctions #3WJ - Thanks @cnrs.bsky.social Chimie! 1st meeting next year (May 25) in Paris Contact me if interested

Hi Bluesky! New here and a bit surprised not to see a starter pack dedicated to Chemical Biology so.. here we go! go.bsky.app/DDpDuvo

ok, I tried to make a starter pack on genome stability/DNA replication/DNA repair etc. Sorry if I couldn't find someone, please nominate yourself and your colleagues in comments or DMs, looking forward to connecting with everyone! go.bsky.app/9jdDNxG
