Amazing latest development in NAR demonstrating a direct role of DNA methylation for anti-viral activity. This is also in line with what recently shown by @paeschkelab.bsky.social showing that DNA G-quadruplex structure can play a role in anti-viral activity! Exciting epigenetic times ahead!
Summer break is over the next talks in the nucleic acid webinar will start soon. I look forward to exciting talks and discussion. Join us āŗļø

The new schedule is out For our new schedule of the G4 webinar. Join us for talks on G4s, Z-DNA, R-loops and beyond
We are more than happy about this fantastic joint work
You are interested in immunology and how nucleic acid structures contribute to their function and how this impacts disease development - Rayk Behrendt and myself have open PhD positions for a joint PhD program between Bonn and Osaka.
The G4 webinar series reached its XV round!
š We're excited to announce that it will resume on Sep 18th.
šTake a look for all upcoming dates and don't miss out!

G4 scientists be ready for the next international meeting on G4 structures - G4thering, which I organize with Robert HƤnsel-Hertsch and Harald Schwalbe.
At this meeting, G4 related science will be presented and discussed by top scientist. Join us in Frsnkfurt in summer 2027.
Safe the Date - the next German French DNA repair meeting will be Nov 5-7th in Paris
Love to see many friends of the genome stability community

Abstract. Deoxyguanosine quadruplexes (G4s) form stable non-B-DNA structures that can affect transcription, replication, and genome stability. Depending on
