Thank you Duncan! Grateful for your guidance and support 😊
Congratulations to @andreannafw (now Dr Wright) from the lab on her successful PhD defence yesterday 🥳. Thanks to @myantlab and Adele Murrell who were kind enough to act as examiners.

A great line-up of speakers at tomorrow's 23nd meeting of the Edinburgh Chromatin, Epigenetics and Transcriptional Regulation Network

Don't miss this Wednesday's 23rd meeting of the Edinburgh Chromatin, Epigenetics and Transcriptional Regulation Network

Looks like it will be a great meeting and sorry to be missing it, enjoy everyone. Look out for @ChristineRSci and @andreannafw from the lab to hear about their exciting projects using synthetic biology to understand DNA methylation. #epigenetics.
Great first day at the @CaixaResearchCA Genome Regulation meeting in Madrid at the @FundlaCaixa. So many great talks about Genome architecture. Feeling inspired ✨️

The paper version of our DNMT3B study is now out in @emboreports 🥳:
embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
You can read more on the previous thread but here is a summary of the main updates. This is one for Southern blot fans! 🧵1/9
New pre-print alert 🚨 @franci_tag shows that DNMT3B PWWP mutations cause hypermethylation of H3K9me3 heterochromatin that is facilitated by its N-terminus. You can read more here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
But here is a quick summary 🧵 1/10
Had a fantastic time presenting my work at @BiochemSoc #biochemEvent Transcription and Chromatin UK!
Congratulations to @andreannafw and @HallHickman for winning @QMULepigenetics sponsored poster prizes at @BiochemSoc #biochemEvent on chromatin & transcription

Kicking off Edinburgh's Atoms to Galaxies🌌 #pint23 events we have @SeanHMcMahon telling us how you would you even recognise alien life if it was staring you in the face 🦠
Beer apparently has a more complex biosignature than some microbial life so all may not be as you expect 🍺

Thanks to everyone who came along to the POGS poster evening!

Last week our lab JC diverged into plants 🌱 with this interesting pre-print from @WilliamsSci:

Inspired by @jrichardalbert's efforts we wrote up our thoughts on @PREreview_ and you can read them here: beta.prereview.org/preprints…

We have an exciting PhD project available with Veronique Vitart and @DrColinSemple. Are you interested in gene regulation, human variation and disease, and want to have experience of both bioinformatics and wet-lab, then please apply: tinyurl.com/58krm45b

This is what a Unit looks like! Thanks to everyone who came to our retreat, including our @EdinUni_IGC colleagues, and braved the weather for this photo opportunity.

@EdinburghUni new finance system has left lots PhD students unpaid this month and staff can't even track who! An organisation failing to pay its lowest paid workers during a cost of living crisis is outrageous @PandemicPGRs @UCU @UCUScotland

Hello #epigenetics twitter, we're looking to use @NEBiolabs EM-conversion module for assessing DNA methylation levels in amplicons rather than genome-wide. Wondering if any of you out there might have useful advice/protocols on setting this up?
