OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
