Kind\u2019s work has paved the way for the development of powerful technologies to map chromatin, or balled-up DNA, in single cells, earning him this year\u2019s John Kendrew Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chromatin was understood as a way to package and condense lots of genetic material into a tiny space. In the early 2000s, though, scientists started to understand that the way the two metres of chromatin is wrapped inside the nucleus could itself impact gene expression. Kind was gripped by this new understanding and was determined to research it more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his master\u2019s internship at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Kind came across a poster in the department of cell biology: an announcement of an EMBL conference. But he remembers most the stunning image of a castle on the poster, the Heidelberger Schloss. \u201cI was very much into German writers and philosophers and poets from the Romantic period,\u201d Kind remembers. \u201cSo this picture, of this castle \u2013 it really moved me.\u201d He began searching for a lab at EMBL where he could pursue his PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot in Heidelberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a few laboratories at EMBL were working with chromatin at the time Kind saw the poster. But he joined Asifa Ahktar\u2019s lab, which was studying the underlying mechanisms of gene expression between male and female fruit flies. Kind entered as a biochemist. At EMBL, he picked up skills in fly genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics, all in pursuit of his biggest question: How does this wrapping of DNA play a role in gene expression?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t always easy getting to an answer. One particularly daunting challenge took place in a summer at the beginning of his PhD. It was extremely hot: up to 40 degrees on some days. Kind and his colleagues were based in temporary lab containers. \u201cWe were all in shorts and flip flops,\u201d he says with a smile. \u201cIt definitely was not ideal.\u201d The heat made their experiments a big mess: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t grow bacteria because it was warmer than 37 degrees. They were in heat shock all the time!\u201d But he kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\"><p>Whenever you had an idea, you could just knock on somebody\u2019s door and talk about it<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of my favourite parts of being at EMBL was the collaborative atmosphere,\u201d Kind says. \u201cWhenever you had an idea, you could just knock on somebody\u2019s door and talk about it. We worked really intensely. But then when we went out in Heidelberg, it was also really intense!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of his PhD, Kind demonstrated one of the first links between gene expression and spatial organisation of chromatin. And it had to do not only with how the DNA was wrapped, but also its location within the nucleus. He was specifically interested in the 35 percent of DNA that was touching the interior of the nuclear membrane, or lamina. What Kind found would challenge the way scientists think about cell division and tumour growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spinning yarns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For his postdoc, Kind joined Bas van Steensel\u2019s group at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, who had developed a technique to study spatial organisation of chromatin. But what Kind wanted to do was track nuclear organisation in single cells over time, and so he fine-tuned this technique to figure out which parts of DNA touch the lamina in two methods. The first marks the DNA, the second pinpoints its identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind can explain the complexity of his lab\u2019s work with just a hollowed-out tennis ball, red yarn, and green paint. The tennis ball, he explains, is like the nucleus. Normally the nucleus is packed with DNA, or yarn. But in order to figure out where the yarn touches the ball, Kind paints the inside of the ball. The green paint represents a sort of ink that recognises DNA and permanently stamps it. After unravelling the yarn, Kind can see exactly where it touched the \u201cnucleus\u201d: the contrasting green paint spots. In the lab, this \u201cstained\u201d DNA can be visualised on a chromosome map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\"><p>You need to be in constant reflection \u2013 especially when the big picture lies in single cells<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>But here is where it gets even more exciting. This molecular stamp not only sticks to mother cells, but it is also passed on to daughter cells. Kind predicted that the layout of DNA would be faithfully inherited through different generations. To his surprise, this was not the case. The DNA layout differed between individual cells of the same genetic makeup \u2013 the mother cells and daughter cells. In other words, the green paint spots were in different places among the same strands of yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His work has unravelled even more questions to answer. Among them: What does this mean for the growth of specialised cells? Or tumour cells, which have a chaotic growth and gradual disappearance of nuclear structure over time? Why would one cell decide to give its genome, damaged or not, to the next generation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a Junior Group Leader at the Hubrecht Institute, Kind predicts the next step will be in deciphering relationships between DNA packing and its effects on the regulation of gene activities and DNA repair. Kind remains focused. \u201cWhen you are in the lab all the time, it\u2019s easy to go into tunnel vision and veer into different directions than you were originally going,\u201d he says. \u201cFor that, it\u2019s important to zoom out. You need to be in constant reflection \u2013 especially when the big picture lies in single cells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\"\/>\n\n\n<p><em>Jop Kind will be speaking at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/aboutus\/alumni\/events-networks\/local-chapters\/greece\/\"> EMBL in Greece<\/a> alumni event on the 26th of November, 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMBL alumnus Jop Kind reflects on the questions that led him to this year\u2019s John Kendrew Award<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":8593,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,17593],"tags":[80,64,55,183,118],"embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-8599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-people-perspectives","tag-alumni","tag-cell-biology","tag-development","tag-gene-expression","tag-stem-cell"],"acf":{"article_intro":"<p>EMBL alumnus Jop Kind, this year\u2019s John Kendrew Award winner, reflects on the imaginative questions that led him to the prize<\/p>\n","related_links":[{"link_description":"EMBL John Kendrew Award","link_url":"http:\/\/www.embl.de\/aboutus\/alumni\/alumni-awards\/01_jka\/"},{"link_description":"Kind group at the Hubrecht Institute ","link_url":"https:\/\/www.hubrecht.eu\/onderzoekers\/kind-group\/"}],"article_sources":false,"vf_locked":false,"featured":false,"color":"#007B53"},"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Chromatin cartographer: Meet EMBL\u2019s 2016 John Kendrew Award winner<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"EMBL alumnus Jop Kind, this year\u2019s John Kendrew Award winner, reflects on the imaginative questions that led him to the prize\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chromatin cartographer: Meet EMBL\u2019s 2016 John Kendrew Award winner\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"EMBL alumnus Jop Kind, this year\u2019s John Kendrew Award winner, reflects on the imaginative questions that led him to the prize\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"EMBL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/embl.org\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-24T11:47:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-03-25T09:15:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/161124-kind_ib.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"425\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Margaux Phares\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@mxphares\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@embl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Margaux Phares\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Margaux Phares\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/d1fced3e1bf469536cf90385bd640f83\"},\"headline\":\"Chromatin cartographer\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-11-24T11:47:49+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-03-25T09:15:13+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/\"},\"wordCount\":944,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/alumni\/1611-chromatin-cartographer\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/161124-kind_ib.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"alumni\",\"cell biology\",\"development\",\"gene expression\",\"stem cell\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Alumni\",\"People &amp;
