Monitoring and quantifying replication fork dynamics with high-throughput methods
The N. Petryk lab highlights in this work advances in quantitative technologies that deepen understanding of chromosome replication beyond DNA
Contribution of p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms to upregulation of p21 in Fanconi anemia
F. Rosselli's team shows in this article how abnormal p21 expression in Fanconi anemia (FA) contributes to bone marrow failure
Human RAD52 stimulates the RAD51-mediated homology search
In a work led by A. Muhammad, a PhD student under P. Dupaigne supervision in the team, we show that

Restriction of Ku translocation protects telomere ends
In a collaborative effort, the Mazon/Le Cam team used Cryo-EM to reveal how Rap1 inhibits Ku’s NHEJ activity at telomeres.
EZH2 promotes degradation of stalled replication forks by recruiting MUS81 through histone H3 trimethylation
B. Rondinelli co-authors this article of the D'Andrea lab describing the roles of EZH2 at stalled replication forks.
Monitoring Chk1 kinase activity dynamics in live single cell imaging assays
The ATR/Chk1 pathway regulates cell cycle progression, especially during DNA damage by inducing arrest for repair. Beyond damage response, Chk1
Effect of Mismatch repair deficiency on metastasis occurrence in a syngeneic mouse model
This work, led by P. Laplante in Kannouche's team, shows how mismatch repair deficiency causes high mutation rates and microsatellite
