So glad to see our pre-print finally out! Excited to share work stemming my PhD work, which I had the pleasure of developing alongside with my co-first author, Irene Amblard. 🤓

Paper alert! I am really pleased to share the final version of the work led by Irène Amblard in the team on a regulatory switch controlling Cdx2 expression during posterior body development! #regulatorylogic #devbio @mrc-lms.bsky.social @imperialmed.bsky.social

A nice thing happened.. We got the cover of Nature Genetics! 😊🎉 The spheres trace nuclear stages through early embryogenesis, with color bursts capturing the diverse events that shape genome architecture. Art done by my friend and very talented artist @christophewirtz.bsky.social 🎨

Excited to share my PhD work! The question: How is genome organization established? Here, we developed a low-input Micro-C method, Pico-C, and used it to map chromatin architecture across early stages of fly development. Here’s a quick Blue-torial 🙂 (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Three-dimensional genome reorganization foreshadows zygotic genome activation in Drosophila - Nature Genetics
Pico-C, a low-input Micro-C approach, reveals that dynamic three-dimensional genome folding precedes zygotic genome activation in Drosophila.
