Our new review, looking into the roles of SWI/SNF in the chromatin environment around centromeres, is just out in Open Biology! @kezlane.bsky.social @thedownslab.bsky.social
Some Friday reading...new review in Open Biology where we discuss how SWI/SNF maintains the chromatin environment around centromeres, building on recent work from ourselves and others. Lots of fun putting this together with @alison-harrod.bsky.social and @thedownslab.bsky.social!
Boundary issues: SWI/SNF shapes chromatin patterns in and around centromeres
Abstract. The SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodelling complexes, comprising BAF, PBAF and ncBAF, is known for their critical roles in regulating chromatin

Online now! Online now! An interactive resource mapping the proteome and reactive cysteine landscape across the NCI-60 reveals cell and tissue-specific profiles #chembiol
An interactive resource mapping the proteome and reactive cysteine landscape across the NCI-60 reveals cell and tissue-specific profiles
Montaño et al. generate an integrated proteomic and cysteine reactivity resource for the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, offering quantitative data on over 12,000 proteins and 36,000 cysteines to enable future studies on protein function, cysteine biology, and covalent drug discovery.
