“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.

Sad to hear. Pierre was for 3 years my office neighbour. Lots of memories of interesting discussions (especially on weekends).
Pierre was a giant of science. With incredible contributions to multiple fields. 🧬🇫🇷

Want to know how histone marks regulate your favorite gene? Go single molecule with ChromSMF: integrated measure of chromatin accessibility and histone marks + DNA methylation, TF footprints and genotype for free! Very proud of @mpalamin.bsky.social ! @embl.org
EpiCrossBorders Week in Edinburgh was a great mix of collaboration & innovation. Starting with a Biotech Start‑Up Ideation Workshop and ending with a 2‑day symposium engaging PI's and students—we can't believe it is our penultimate year! Still so much to look forward to and achieve #EpiCrossBorders

We often piece together chromatin regulation layer by layer from separate assays. But this can be limiting!
In @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab, we developed a method to directly study multiple layers on the same DNA molecule! 🧬
