Our new review on histone bivalency in neurons is out in this issue of Genes & Development!
Had such a wonderful time in your lab, Mary Beth!
Excited to share our new preprint on EZH1-mediated H3K27me3 in the adult brain!
We show that postmitotic neurons accumulate high levels of H3K27me3 broadly across the genome. This is dependent on EZH1, but surprisingly not required for gene expression regulation:

Our new review on Histone bivalency is out!
The first paper out of the Snell lab is live! This review was led by my postdoc Dr. Nichelle Jackson. We dove into the cerebellar contribution to dystonia, specifically focusing on Purkinje cell and cerebellar nuclei dysfunction and calcium handling. www.frontierspartnerships.org/journals/dys...

Check out our new review led by our neuroscience graduate student Anna Voss @annavoss.bsky.social! Anna put together lots of useful tables of these gene families in mouse and human genomes in here. We hope you'll love these H2B genes as much as we do when you read this article!

Wonderful dinner celebrating a remarkably successful postdoc Kart Matlik and sending her off to begin her Group Leader position in Estonia
In this Review, Mätlik et al. discuss the influence of histone bivalency (activating H3K4me3 + repressive H3K27me3) on neuronal development and maturation. #openaccess

Research on histone H2B has grown enormously in recent years. Here, Erica Korb (@korblab.bsky.social) and @annavoss.bsky.social discuss H2B genes, proteins, variants, and modifications, and propose a canonical human H2B sequence.
