Tom Ohmer, fellow veteran and talented actor… That is how I would define this magnificent person with a great personality. We talked about his role as ‘Warden Moss' in the movie and what it was like to work on set and act alongside Sean Patrick Flannery. To film a movie in an actual functioning prison must have rattled some nerves. But in this case, it seems all of the actors were well protected and safe from the environment. Tom Ohmer seems to be the better actor when it comes to being chosen and I can see why. Being a veteran, it's not hard to memorize lines and show self-discipline. He was chosen because the director recognized Tom's talent immediately and I don't think anyone could have portrayed Warden Moss better. I cannot stress enough how intense this movie is! For starters, I am sure the actors had to prepare themselves by getting into the right headspace. It's a psychological thriller with some religious aspects, the defining moments are there. For those who have not seen it, it is available for streaming on demand on Amazon. I highly recommend that you give it a watch if you're looking for a mind melt. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/southjerseyhorror/message

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we caught up with Professor Tom Moss from Université Laval in Québec City, Canada to talk about his work on the chromatin structure and dynamics at ribosomal RNA genes. Dr. Tom Moss has been a member of the Department of Molecular Biology, Medical Biochemistry, and Pathology at the Laval University School of Medicine since he was recruited from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom in 1986. Since then he focused on the ribosomal transcription factor Upstream Binding Factor (UBF) and how it regulates the chromatin structure at ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA). UBF binds to the rDNA as a dimer where it leads to six in-phase bends and induces the formation of the ribosomal enhanceosome. This enhanceosome is required for the initial step in formation of an RNA polymerase I initiation complex, and therefore plays an important role in regulating the expression of ribosomal RNA genes. In this Interview, we discuss the function of UBF on the rDNA, how UBF impacts the chromatin landscape at rRNA genes, the role of DNA methylation in this process, and how UBF influences the structure of the nucleolus.
