December 27, 2023

Caiyun Liao's paper on human-specific epigenomic states in spermatogenesis is out in Computational & Structural Biology Journal! See it here.

Ben Walters' article on the regulation of KDM6A in spermatogenesis and implications for epigenetic inheritance is online today in Biology of Reproduction. Read it here. Congrats Ben!

Aushaq Malla's second paper is out today showing that DOT1L selectively drives production of major satellite repeat transcripts, thus indirectly sustaining heterochromatin via its function as a transcriptional activator. See the exciting story here.

Aushaq Malla's beautiful story showing that the histone methyltransferase DOT1L is necessary for histone-to-protamine replacement during spermatogenesis is out in Development. See it here. Don't forget to see the complementary work from the Wang and Cocquet labs, out at the same time, here and here.

Our work led by Kim Griffin, Ben Walters and Haixin Li is out today in Genome Research. The Argonaute AGO2 acts at the time of transcription to (positively) tune a transcript's probability of being translated. See the whole story here.
