New Article! Mapping 3D genome organization at nucleosome-scale with Micro-C and Region Capture Micro-C (RCMC)

Excited to share the first preprint from my lab! Transcription has been implicated in regulating SMC complex function, but how this works has been unclear. Here, we use a yeast quiescence model to examine how transcription targets condensin.

Today #NIH leadership were told no funds can go out for research project grants, R&D contracts or training grants. We have just a couple weeks to get funds out the door before Russel Vought attempts a #PocketRescission on Aug 15. Even if this ends up being temporary, it’s time we don’t have.

Login.gov really just told me “delete your account.”

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Horrendous & painful come to mind. The disaster this would cause is hard to fathom, & yet, that’s the point of such threats & possible actions. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Science funding agency threatened with mass layoffs

National Science Foundation staff heard the plans at a meeting Tuesday.

Disruptions to the NIH impact more than just science; they will hit all Americans in our wallets. I spoke yesterday with Becky Fogel from @kutnews.bsky.social about the important role NIH-funded research plays in the economy. 🧵 1/n www.kut.org/education/20...
