Here is the final version of our study dissecting in vivo, how regulation of Sox2 by its many distal enhancers interplays with CTCF loops throughout development.

Enhancer–promoter interactions can bypass CTCF-mediated boundaries and contribute to phenotypic robustness - Nature Genetics

Genetic manipulation of the Sox2 locus in mice shows that gene activation by distal enhancers does not require CTCF-mediated loops and can occur across ectopic CTCF-mediated boundaries. The ability to bypass CTCF boundaries varies with their insulation strength and the tissue-specific enhancers responsible for activation.

Dear Everyone, thanks.
Especially to the amazing work of my lab mates, my colleagues across fields whose discoveries this is built on, and mentors past and present.

Completely humbled to be awarded an #ERCCoG by @[email protected] to fathom chromatin function at @[email protected] https://twitter.com/ERC_Research/status/1620376382428819461

These cycles are now so predictable that a large scale generative language model could probably easily recreate a year of #scitwitter arguments complete with GIFs

Cool new work from @[email protected] and @[email protected] labs improving cassava bacterial blight resistance by blocking bacterial effector binding through targeted DNA methylation. Great example of the potential of epigenome editing for crop improvement! 🌱🧬

Improving cassava bacterial blight resistance by editing the epigenome - Nature Communications

Activating the expression of host susceptibility (S) genes is one of the strategies plant pathogens employed to promote infection of their host. Here, the authors show that targeted methylation at the TAL20 effector binding element of the cassava SWEET10a gene lead to resistance to Xanthomonas phaseoli.

I love you Adobe Illustrator (even if I feel like I have only mastered ~0.1% of the program after nearly 2 decades of use). But your price is too damn high. As of today, I am an Affinity Designer user.
