⚡This Wednesday! 🥁We've got two exciting chromatin talks coming up from @almassalha.bsky.social and @carmeloferrai.bsky.social
🐣If you haven't registered for the series, please register and join us: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Can one map the genome-wide binding (1) and its protein partners (2) simultaneously from the same sample?

Yes, one can. with CUT&ID ✂️🪪

Spearheaded — singlehandedly — by @annanordin.bsky.social

No need of transgenesis, cloning and overexpression.

Check it out, it's fast and its works.

Kids born the same year that the term “RNA-seq” was coined are heading to college this fall. We are all unspeakably ancient.

Join our seminar next Tuesday, for two insightful talks from Julianne Funk and Nisha D. Kamath with powerful illustrations of how systematic variant characterization is accelerating precision medicine and expanding our therapeutic toolkit.

🚨New paper out! In our @MolCellNews paper, we solve a piece of the puzzle of how our genome folds. We found the two specific molecular "brakes" in the CTCF protein that stop DNA loop extrusion. One of the final pieces of my PhD!

Our new study defines a distinct #neurogenetic condition arising from recurrent structural variants at 16p13.3 palindrome.

Individuals show progressive ataxia, cognitive decline, and a characteristic MRI pattern with caudate & cerebellar atrophy.

In ~5 hours…

Our latest work dissecting the interplay of endothelial and immune cells in non-communicable diseases genetics. We explained 815 loci (29% to 40%) and revealed the complex relationship between cell types and diseases.

Small things matter: Lack of extraislet β cells in type 1 diabetes Early loss of small extraislet β cells in children with type 1 diabetes could explain age-related differences in disease.

Congratulations to @sarahibex.bsky.social and Team at the University of Exeter Medical school (@hls.exeter.ac.uk) on the breakthrough study on #diabetes pathology

both are right: the best is marine microbiology

Reminder! Deadline to apply is midday today!

Promoter-proximal gatekeepers restrict pleiotropic enhancer inputs to achieve tissue specificity Developmental enhancers are central regulatory elements that can activate multiple genes, yet how they selectively regulate one gene over its neighbours remains unclear. Using the Drosophila twist E3 ...

Ever wondered what drives enhancer-promoter specificity? Why would an enhancer activate one gene rather than another neighboring one?

Check our latest preprint, led by @mmasoura.bsky.social, to find out!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Enhancer-promoter compatibility is mediated by the promoter-proximal region Gene promoters induce transcription in response to distal enhancers. How enhancers specifically activate their target promoter while bypassing other promoters remains unclear. Here, we find that the p...

What is a promoter? And how does it work?

We very happy to share our latest work trying to understand enhancer-promoter compatibility.
I am very excited about the results of @blanka-majchrzycka.bsky.social, which changed the way I think about promoters

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

A quick heads-up that we will have two PhD positions available to start in October 2026. One as part of MRC LMS PhD programme, and one as a transdisciplinary studentship with @srinjan.bsky.social and Thomas Ouldridge at Imperial.
