Our mitosis preprint is now published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. This was a team effort and close collaboration with Gerd Blobel's lab and Ed Banigan and Leonid Mirny. From our side this was lead by Viraat and James. See also a related preprint from Job Dekker's group on BioRxiv that will be online soon. Congratulations to the whole team. And please also see a very nice news article from Anne Trafton at MIT News about the paper. 
Congratulations to former post-doc Shdema, who is now doing independent work at the Weizmann Institute, on her new preprint uncovering the 3D genome structure of tomato species. You can read the full preprint on BioRxiv.
Congratulations to post-doc Masahiro Nagano on his new paper on STAG3-cohesin, which exhibits a short residence time leading to altered 3D genome structure and function and which is important for male germ cell development. You can read the paper in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.
It was wonderful to host Deniz Erkok (who worked with Masahiro Nagano) and Sean Manley (who worked with Jamie Drayton) as MSRP summer students. Deniz and Sean finished off the summer by presenting their summer research at the MSRP poster session.
 We said goodbye to Domenic with a picnic at Killian Court. Domenic recently graduated with his PhD and just started a new position at the start-up XGenomes. All the best for your new adventure, Domenic!
We celebrated two new preprints at JiangNan Boston. Clarice and Varshini's preprint on their Cleopatra deep learning model to predict 3D genome structure at very high resolution and Matteo and Domenic's preprint on subdiffusive chromatin dynamics over very many orders of magnitude in time. Congrats Clarice, Varshini, Matteo, and Domenic.
Welcome to Sean Manley and Deniz Erkok who are joining us for a summer of research through the MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP) - Welcome Sean and Deniz!
