New preprint alert! Very proud of this work, lots of hard work that turned into a really cool story!

This was my first chance to step into a senior role, but most importantly, it means far more to me than just the science.
You should always say yes to new projects.

A rendering of multiple Oct4 molecules bound to a chromatin fibre

🚨 🚨 🚨 New preprint alert!!! 🚨 🚨 🚨
In the past, we have learnt that Oct4 can induce nucleosome breathing on the mono-nucleosome level.
But what happens when you have a fibre of multiple nucleosomes?
