Come and talk 3D #genome, #epigenetics, #enhancers and #G4s at #FOG2026 at London ExCeL today and tomorrow! festivalofgenomics.com/london/poste... and some fresh stuff in there too!

Brilliant #PhD opportunities for anyone interested in #chromatin, #genetics or #epigenetics!

Eva Nogales @nogaleslab.bsky.social introducing the 2025 CSH Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription Meeting. Co-organizing with Wendy Bickmore @wbickmor.bsky.social and Joanna Wysocka. Will intermittently try to update as allowed

Beyond carrying out vital research, our staff are involved in lots of science outreach activities every year. Recently, we hosted pupils for our annual Careers Lab. This programme is designed to inspire the next generation of STEM scientists & supporters. More: www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/students/car...

How does (local #DNA) structure affect (3D #genome) structure? Can mutating G4s abolish #enhancers key for #blood function? In the second part of our explorations of #G4s in gene regulation, we show how abolishing G-quadruplex structures in the genome disrupts enhancers. 1/9 doi.org/10.1186/s130...

DNA G-quadruplex structures act as functional elements in α- and β-globin enhancers - Genome Biology

Background Enhancer elements interact with target genes at a distance to modulate their expression, but the molecular details of enhancer–promoter interaction are incompletely understood. G-quadruplex...
