📣 New meeting on RAD51 biology!
🌐 lnkd.in/eyV8dY_S
🔬 🧬 Come explore the latest discoveries on RAD51 biology, and its central roles in DNA repair, replication, and meiosis.
✨ Fantastic invited speakers and ample opportunities for oral presentations.
Another great opportunity for genome integrity / replication stress aficionados to attend two excellent seminars with a simple click. Join us in a few days (Tue April 7th)! 👇
“I think it’s a real mistake to forget where the pipeline for all this begins.”
John Diffley reflects on the importance of basic research, his mission to decode DNA replication and recreate it in the lab, and the scientific optimism of the 1960s that helped shape it.

A study published in Nature has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate – and thereby a cell’s ability to divide. A protein, PAF15, acts as the brake, preventing the replication machinery from becoming overloaded and protecting cells from replication catastrophe. 🧪
