The discovery of CENP-A, the centromere-specific histone H3 variant turns 40 years!
Grant Rowley wrote a wonderful historical piece on the cell cycle control of this fascinating piece of chromatin! Check it out.

So sorry to miss this excellent meeting! Kudos to the organisers. Enjoy!

Many congrats to a great team effort at @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social

Fresh of the press! rdcu.be/egmY0 We discovered key chromatin modifications that are heritably maintained through mitotic cell divisions in the absence of continued transcription. These hold a memory of past exposure to interferon-gamma, priming cells for future activation of gene expression.

@bencarty.bsky.social and the team did a fantastic job in a wonderful collaboration with @naltemose.bsky.social as well as Dani Fachinetti and Simona Giunta’s teams to help define the molecular basis for maintaining centromeric chromatin size and position. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Two weeks to go until the application deadline for ILESLA. If you or anyone you know would benefit from full funding to carry out a PhD in Life and/or Environmental Science please visit/refer to our website page iles.web.ox.ac.uk/how-apply where you can see open day videos and get full guidance.

Join our team www.jansenlab.org as a @wellcometrust.bsky.social -funded postdoctoral fellow and help us discover how chromatin at human centromeres is formed and inherited. Position now open at @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social! See: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... for details!
