Recent study by the lab on D. Radiodurans - in PNAS! 👏. My colleagues studied how this organism divides. A powerful and elegant combination of optical fluorescence microscopy and cryo-electron tomography on FIB-milled lamellae reveals the subtleties of its division.

Delighted to share our latest publication on Deinococcus radiodurans that was published a few days ago in PNAS!

This work reveals the complex cell envelope composition of this extraordinary bacterium and how it divides!
Enjoy the read!

🚨 new preprint from the lab. Combining modeling, new Hi-C data in yeast and data analysis, our study offers new insights into the spatial and dynamic organization of chromatin during replication in eukaryotes. Check the tweetorial below ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Genome-wide modeling of DNA replication in space and time confirms the emergence of replication specific patterns in vivo in eukaryotes

Although significant progress has been made on our understanding of DNA replication and spatial chromosome organization in eukaryotes, how they both interplay remains elusive. In particular, from the ...

😀Thrilled to have contributed to this study on SRSF2, which, when over expressed, drives replication-transcription conflicts and impacts DSB repair pathway choice! A step forward in understanding lung cancer progression! 🧬 academic.oup.com/narcancer/ar...

SRSF2 overexpression induces transcription-/replication-dependent DNA double-strand breaks and interferes with DNA repair pathways to promote lung tumor progression

Abstract. SRSF2 (serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2) is a critical regulator of pre-messenger RNA splicing, which also plays noncanonical functions in

A huge thank you to LUMICKS, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and NAR Nucleic Acids Research for their invaluable support. Lastly, a big thank you to the Lorentz Center for hosting the event—without them, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Pierre Caron @pierrecaron.bsky.social · Mar 15

The workshop was a real success thanks to the engagement of the participants! 👏
Their oral presentations and posters were fascinating, and their active participation made all the difference.
Looking forward to future collaborations!
