Ina Sonnen earned tenure: 'science is like a puzzle' - Hubrecht Institute

What if science is like solving puzzles?

We spoke with @sonnenlab.bsky.social, a group leader who recently received tenure. She tells us about her journey, her research on signaling dynamics, and the challenges of leading a lab.

RNA transcripts regulate G-quadruplex landscapes through G-loop formation G-quadruplexes (G4s) are prevalent DNA structures that regulate transcription but also threaten genome stability. How G4 dynamics are controlled remains poorly understood. Here, we report that RNA tra...

Excited our paper is out! G-quadruplex (G4) unwinding via an intricate G-loop assembly and disassembly mechanism maintains genome integrity. Pioneered by Koichi Sato with great collaborators Jing Lyu and @simonelsasser.bsky.social Check it out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr0493 🧡(1/4)

What governs where DNA replication begins in human cells? Here, we show that origins of replication in human DNA are epigenetically specified and that crucially, this epigenetic mark is required for both DNA replication and cell proliferation! @narjournal.bsky.social academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Pre-print alert!! Did you know that exploration of loss and gain of eQTL regulation in normal versus disease condition from scRNAseq can reveal pos-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (e.g. miRNA)? Have a look at our work, led by awesome @tdwinter.bsky.social, in which we focus on human islets.
