Very excited to present a preprint of the first chapter of my thesis, which focuses the end of the LGM (Ice age / Last Glacial maximum) in Europe, and specifically the post-LGM Balkans.

New preprint from @oguzparasayan looks at the origins of Bantu peoples and sequences four historical (~700BP) Congolese genomes. One interesting finding is a population contraction in both Bantu groups and hunter Gatherers ~1500 BP. Read it here: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Beyond thrilled that the first paper from our lab is out today in @nature! We show that SWI/SNF loss results in gain-of-function for CTCF and cohesin, reshaping the 3D genome, and an unexpected switch between chromatin remodeling complexes. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 1/n
SWI/SNF complexes shape 3D chromatin architecture through CTCF and cohesin
