More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

Long time not posting about #redoxepigenetics - today the focus is on HMCES a protein that binds to abasic DNA sites caused for instance by guanine oxidation and removed by BER - by protecing those sites HMCES prevents irreparable DNA damage www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Temporary HMCES-DNA cross-link prevents permanent DNA damage
HMCES, a recently discovered but ancient protein, covalently attaches to damaged single-stranded DNA and shields it from nucleases. Rua-Fernandez and colleagues now show that HMCES catalyzes its own recycling, permitting normal growth and non-mutagenic DNA repair.
