Smc5/6 association with microtubules controls dynamic pericentromeric chromatin folding
Ànnia Carré-Simon, Renaud Batrin, Sarah Isler, Henrik Dahl Pinholt, Timothy Földes, Guillaume Laflamme, Maria Barbi, Leonid Mirny, Damien D’Amours, Emmanuelle FabreSmc5/6 association with microtubules controls dynamic pericentromeric chromatin foldingbioRxiv 2024.11.13.623393; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.13.623393 Abstract Centromeres and pericentromeres are specialized chromatin regions whose organization is critical for proper chromosome segregation through dynamic microtubule attachment. Smc5/6, highly enriched…

Welcome Tingran Wang!
Tingran Wang, doctoral student in the MIT physics Department will be joining our lab for a 3-month rotation. During his rotation, Tingran will be collaborating with Henrik Pinholt and Timothy Foldes. They will be investigating how stretched chromatins in vivo can tell us more about their polymer properties, and eventually directly see evidence of loop…

MIT PRIMES
MIT PRIMES is a free, year-long program, in which high school students work on individual and group research projects in mathematics, computer science or bioinformatics and computational biology and participate in reading groups under the guidance of academic mentors, usually graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. The Mirny lab is very proud of our Prime graduates…
