Ever wondered what else SETD2 does beyond transcription? 🧬
Check out our new ‪@natcellbio.nature.com‬ study.
Awesome work from Abid Khan in the lab SETD2 moonlights during mitosis to keep the genome safe from chaos.showing how SETD2 moonlights to safeguard the genome during cell division.

We are excited to share our new preprint demonstrating that nucleic acid interactions with SUZ12 constrain PRC2 activity, establishing a kinetic buffer essential for targeted gene silencing and revealing vulnerabilities in diffuse midline gliomas.

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

Ever wondered how transcription choreographs histone modifications? Our work reveals the basis of co-transcriptional H3K36me3 by SETD2. We visualize how a histone writer coordinates with the transcription machinery! This is the magnus opus of @jonmarkert.bsky.social!
