Mark your calendar! So excited to organize “Frozen Accidents” with art historian Sefy Hendler! Join us Nov 20th at Galerie Colbert (INHA), Paris. Hosted by HiCSA, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Please share widely, especially outside your field. Be there or be frozen!!! (see poster & thread for details)

🚨Happy to share that the first part of my PhD is out on @cp-devcell.bsky.social! This has been an exciting project in the lab of @eileen-furlong.bsky.social @embl.org, studying the regulation of Pol II pausing across embryogenesis and its impact on gene expression dynamics. tinyurl.com/5n88ykk7

Chromatin context shapes SPT5 regulation of promoter-proximal Pol II, fine-tuning gene expression changes during Drosophila embryogenesis
Using rapid SPT5 depletion, Dulja et al. uncover different molecular phenotypes at different embryonic stages. In early embryos, SPT5 depletion shifts Pol II from the pausing site to the +1 nucleosome...

Imagine a tool that lets you test-drive gene expression inside a living cell. EMBL researchers used a synthetic biology approach to test hundreds of DNA sequences for their effect on regulating gene expression in context. www.embl.org/news/science...

Check our latest with Yacine Kherdjemil and @eileen-furlong.bsky.social and our colleagues, where we show Chip (Ldb1) is essential only at a narrow window of embryogenesis overlapping ZGA. It functionally and physically bridges CBP to Zelda to regulate gene expression. www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Chip (Ldb1) is a putative cofactor of Zelda forming a functional bridge to CBP during zygotic genome activation
Chip/Ldb1 is a crucial cofactor regulating enhancer function and chromatin interactions. Using optogenetics, Galouzis, Kherdjemil et al. show that Chip is only essential during zygotic genome activati...

Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes! Check our preprint bit.ly/3XQMFxN + thread ⬇️ 1/11
