We have significantly improved the protocol for recording CRE activities and orders with ENGRAM. We also designed new plasmids for easier cloning. Great work with @jennynathans.bsky.social, @troymcdiarmid.bsky.social and @jshendure.bsky.social . Happy recording!!

The single-molecule accessibility landscape of newly replicated mammalian chromatin By developing a long-read sequencing method to simultaneously map replication status and protein-DNA contacts in cells, Ostrowski, Yang, etΒ al. show that newly replicated chromatin is enriched for unw...

The latest from our group, led by Megan Ostrowski and @martyyang.bsky.social, is now published in final form (www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...! Many thanks to our excellent peer reviewers for suggesting several experiments (including CAF-1 perturbation) to really improve the study =) #epigenetics
