📣 Preprint alert! We developed a method to analyze concurrent interactions between multiple chromatin regions at single alleles at sub-nucleosome resolution (multi-way Micro-Capture-C, mwMCC) & used this to study structural synergy within super-enhancers. 1/14 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our PBAF paper is finally out in Science Advances! We’ve been working on this project for upwards of 10 years (depending on who you ask), with Alisha heading the effort (and doing most of the work) to understand the role of PBRM1 in breast cancer metastasis. www.science.org/doi/full/10..... (1/11)

PBRM1-dependent PBAF targeting is required for EMT and metastasis in breast cancer
During EMT, PBRM1 targets PBAF to H3K14Ac sites, opening chromatin to activate TGFβ targets and enable breast cancer metastasis.
