Unique territorial and compartmental organization of chromosomes in the holocentric silkworm - The EMBO Journal Hallmarks of multicellular eukaryotic genome organization are chromosome territories, compartments, and loop-extrusion-mediated structures, including TADs. However, these have mainly been observed in ...

How do compartmentalization & loop extrusion organize eukaryotic genomes beyond classical model organisms?
Hi-C analysis of silkworm chromosomes by Drinnenberg, Muller, Mirny et al reveals new combination of these mechanisms, and a new, secluded “S” compartment

Have you wondered how the rules of chromatin folding have evolved? Well, this task is not easy to formalize. But here is our take on it: train species-specific DNA-to-chromatin encoder, apply to DNA of unseen species, and build chromatin rules-based tree of life. Have a look:

Wonderful to work with Sergey Venev in our lab and amazing collaborators Vasilisa Aksenova, Mary Dasso, Jesse Lehman, and Athma Pai.

Inheriting chromosome conformation - Nature Cell Biology Chromosomes unfold and refold each time cells divide. A study by Schooley et al. demonstrates that chromosome-intrinsic and cytoplasmic factors uniquely contribute to interphase chromosome structure, ...

Dynamics of microcompartment formation at the mitosis-to-G1 transition Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Goel et al. produce high-resolution three-dimensional genome structure mapping from mitosis to G1 phase to show unseen interactions between enhancers and...

We co-submitted this article with the work of @andersshansen.bsky.social , @irate-physicist.bsky.social , and authors, who characterize similar cre microcompartments : rdcu.be/eWK1u

Interphase chromosome conformation is specified by distinct folding programmes inherited through mitotic chromosomes or the cytoplasm Nature Cell Biology - Schooley et al. find that mitotically bookmarked loci drive a transient chromosome folding state during G1 entry that is subsequently modulated by factors inherited through...

Happy to share that my postdoc work with @jobdekker.bsky.social is out!

We characterize interphase chromatin folding programs with distinct modes of mitotic inheritance and identify the chromosome-intrinsic capacity to form a microcompartment of active CREs during mitotic exit.
