Is activation of multiple enhancers and promoters coordinated? Short answer is yes. Check full story from @mathias-boulanger.bsky.social @kasitc.bsky.social leveraging long read single molecule sequencing to address this. @embl.org www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

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...

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Have you ever wondered how the exact location of a gene affects it's activity? The main story of my PhD deals with exactly that question, and is now published in Science! ✨ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... My amazing co-author and friend @mathiaseder.bsky.social summarized the highlights for you

Functional maps of a genomic locus reveal confinement of an enhancer by its target gene

Genes are often activated by enhancers located at large genomic distances, and the importance of this positioning is poorly understood. By relocating promoter-reporter constructs into thousands of alt...

Activity of most genes is controlled by multiple enhancers, but is there activation coordinated? We leveraged Nanopore to identify a specific set of elements that are simultaneously accessible on the same DNA molecules and are coordinated in their activation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is not a HiC map! Ever wondered if multiple enhancers get activated simultaneously? We measured chromatin accessibility on thousands of molecules by nanopore to create genome-wide co-accessibility maps. Proud of @mathias-boulanger.bsky.social @kasitc.bsky.social Biology in the thread👇

It’s always a bit awkward to write about personal experiences. I tried to touch on what Pride means to me and ended up reflecting on heteronormativity, passing, and allyship. Thank you @slefkopoulos.bsky.social for the great opportunity! @ucph.bsky.social #LGBTQIA+ #PRIDE #Diversity

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!

The importance of moving away from bulk! Occupancy of Pol II at promoters is dramatically different between fly and mouse cells! When looking single molecule! Proud of the team! @kasitc.bsky.social @molinalab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s443...
