Why can't we explain enhancer action despite 2 decades of chromosome conformation technologies? 😬 Our new study spearheaded by Leonid Mirny's group points to a flaw in our assumptions, and to a solution from physical principles By @timothyfoldes.bsky.social 💻& @karissalhansen.bsky.social 🧪 🧵👇

Excited to see our work on the cover of @molsystbiol.org! Cover art by Laura Seclì shows barcoded #stemcell clones navigating inducible perturbations: iPS2-seq reads each trajectory, and catcheR sorts clones—highlighting SMAD2 as a key #cardiac regulator and capturing epigenetically biased outliers.

This is the way forward: here’s hope the “Fondo Italiano per la Scienza” will embrace this model instead of performing long, expensive, and less rigorous new evaluations (plus asking scientists to rewrite in ~half the space an already dense project)

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
