Excited to see this preprint out from the lab! Congrats to @heinarsson.bsky.social, Natsuda, @robertkrautz.bsky.social, and all co-authors involved in this major effort on developing nucCAGE and PRIME, and on evaluating transcription initiation-defined regulatory elements for variant interpretation!

Latest from the lab! Led by @xuening-he.bsky.social, establishing a framework for interpretation of the motif syntax of regulatory elements and a quantitative model for transcription factor cooperativity. Plenty of cool stuff revealed, including TF redundancy and synergy, and their regulatory roles!
