A Goldilocks zone of DNA flexibility defines stable yet plastic nucleosomes, tuned by histone chemistry https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.16.706184v1
How do DNA sequence and histone chemistry tune nucleosome stability and plasticity?

Congratulations to @janhuemar.bsky.social (JRF at Catz since 2023) who is part of an international team of scientists responsible for a long-awaited visualisation of liquid droplets forming inside a cell known as condensates, key for processes such as DNA repair: caths.cam.ac.uk/cond... @cam.ac.uk
Super excited to share that our paper is now out in @science.org. Lots of work, but also lots of fun getting this out.
Be sure to check it out!

New paper alert from the group!! 🚨: DNA flexibility tips the balance between stability and plasticity in nucleosomes
One of the works from my PhD, co-led alongside @nachper.bsky.social, is finally out! Work from @rcollepardo.bsky.social & @janhuemar.bsky.social

Make sure to check our latest collaboration with @kaitezhang.bsky.social and @vram142.bsky.social. An effort to move towards simulating non-ideal, "in vivo" chromatin, and learning lots about chromatin organisation while doing it!

Our work on the linker histone is now out in Science Advances!
We show that H1 behaves as a liquid-like glue that helps organize chromatin in living cells.
Very happy to have worked together with @kazu-maeshima.bsky.social and @masaashimazoe.bsky.social
My first, first author paper is now on #ScienceAdvances !
Linker histone H1 is a liquid-like "glue" condensing chromatin, which revises textbooks! 📖✨

Huge thanks to @kazu-maeshima.bsky.social , for supervision.
Amazing collab with @rcollepardo.bsky.social ’s group! 1/

Very excited to present OpenCGChromatin🔥🔥🔥
A new coarse-grained model that probes full chromatin condensates at near-atomistic resolution to reveal the molecular regulation of chromatin structure and phase separation
Brilliantly led by @kieran-russell.bsky.social, with the Rosen and Orozco groups
