Christos Velanis works at the University of Edinburgh and discusses work published in PloS Genetics entitled ‘The domesticated transposase ALP2 mediates formation of a novel Polycomb protein complex by direct interaction with MSI1, a core subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)‘.
Pumi Perera is co-first author on this work from the Goodrich lab that is the follow-on to research published in PLoS Genetics in 2015 ‘Kicking against the PRCs – A Domesticated Transposase Antagonises Silencing Mediated by Polycomb Group Proteins and Is an Accessory Component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2‘. At the time GARNet talked to Justin Goodrich about this paper
