A tour de force study from Taipale&Yin labs. It expands the vocabulary of the Regulatory Code by adding 1131 TF:TF composite motifs that are different from the individual TF motifs. The new composite motifs are enriched in cell-type specific elements and active in vivo www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We released our preprint on the CREsted package. CREsted allows for complete modeling of cell type-specific enhancer codes from scATAC-seq data. We demonstrate CREsted’s robust functionality in various species and tissues, and in vivo validate our findings: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What did the two amino acid substitutions in #FOXP2 that occurred uniquely in the human lineage do? 🧪🧬 🧠 Fascinating new @cp-cell.bsky.social study by @shadys11.bsky.social D. Jarosz & J. Wysocka, uncovering a molecular function for these 2 substitutions in promoting the solubility of FOXP2. (1/n)

This is a super-interesting, though speculative, paper from Adrian Bird. He is challenging the prevailing view that the protein cohesin organizes chromatin for functionality (transcription) by creating loops that allow genes to access their regulatory regions... www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

The Hidden Cell, Dark Genome conference has got off to a flying start! We explored the regulation of genes, exciting RNA diversity - micro-exons and where does transcription start - and what are small peptides translated from ‘non-coding’ RNAs doing? How amazing our genomes! #hiddencelldarkgenome

What a fantastic public lecture by @katarney.bsky.social last night about the 'Dark Genome' and the amazing things that happen when evolution and chance alter enhancers to impact spines on fish and digits on hands. What an great prelude to the #hiddencelldarkgenome conference starting today!
