Hopefully, it will serve as a useful resource for many in the field.

I am very grateful to all (new) authors for their contributions to this edition

1.5 kg of methods and protocols (29 chapters): the 2nd edition of ‘Methods in Molecular Biology - Bacterial Chromatin’ is now online and available as hard cover. See also: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

I am very pleased to share our recent study on prokaryotic histone structure and diversity nature.com/articles/s4146… Great work by PhD student @SammyBoterhammy. With @aimeelboyle, @Vikram_Alva, Birte Hernandez Alvarez, Yimin Hu, @MPI_Bio, @LeidenScience

How the group sees me today ...

You have until 5 Sept to register for NWO Biophysics. During the conference the research community committee Physics of Life (PoL) organises its yearly assembly for group leaders on Monday 7 Oct 16:50 in the Baroniezaal. nwobiophysics.nl/group-leader-s…

Two more weeks until the deadline. An excellent opportunity to work on new types of histones from archaea. Especially candidates with a passion for protein-DNA interactions, chromatin and chromatin evolution are invited to apply for this exciting PhD position.

PhD position available: please apply if you are interested in joining our lab to work on exciting new types of archaeal histones. See the advertisement for details. universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

Note that we are also interested to host post-docs to work on this topic (or other topics studied in the lab) and that we are glad to support good candidates in applying for independent scholarships (EMBO, HFSP, NWO-VENI etc).

@AlirezaMashaghi Thank you, Alireza, for your very nice contribution to the book!

Our book chapter on "Circuit Topology Analysis of Single-Cell HiC Data" is out! Thanks to @DameLab for editing this great collection on chromatin biology! #Genome #Topology #SingleCell #Chromatin link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
