Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The ChAHP complex is an essential genome regulator that integrates a transcription factor, a chromatin remodeler and heterochromatin proteins into a single functional unit. I will present our recent discovery of its role in repressing transposons and the molecular mechanisms underpinning this function. Our identification of the paralogous ChAHP2 complex and its distinct properties establishes this protein family as a conserved, vertebrate-specific component of the retrotransposon control machinery.
