Here is the peer-reviewed version of our study showing how some TAD borders are essential for gene regulation and development. Loss of a single CTCF motif is sufficient to cause embryonic lethality. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It’s been a though couple of weeks, but joining this place has felt like a breath of fresh air. Cherry on top of the cake: a visit from Narry Kim as part of NCI’s #RNAinitiative seminar series. An amazing talk by a giant in the #RNA field. What a treat!

Polycomb-bound regions form some of the strongest and most interesting focal interactions in the nucleus! But what happens when these regions become active and lose H3K27me3? Check the preprint below by the Kassis/Sun labs. 🪰🪰🎉🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

7 years ago, I met a junior fellow named Jason Buenrostro who blew me away with a vision of futuristic genomic technologies Today, we (Ajay Labade, Caroline Comenho) are excited to share our first steps into that future: Expansion in situ genome sequencing 1/
