Unpause! I'm super happy to now be able to share the published version of our paper at Science Advances showing that: 1) active histone mods occur independently of transcription 2) transcription coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

RNA polymerase II coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters

Transcription initiation limits histone acetylation and H2AZ incorporation at promoters.

Hi friends, If you haven't seen it already, I was part of a mess this week — about science in the United States, and about NIH research aimed at understanding things like Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, and depression. 🧪 Thread with some details. 🧠📈 🧠🤖 1/10

Here is the peer-reviewed version of our study showing how some TAD borders are essential for gene regulation and development. Loss of a single CTCF motif is sufficient to cause embryonic lethality. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Deletion of a single CTCF motif at the boundary of a chromatin domain with three FGF genes disrupts gene expression and embryonic development

Chromatin domains delimited by CTCF can restrict the range of enhancer action. However, disruption of some domain boundaries results in mild gene dysr…

Out now in Dev Cell! scRNAseq trajectories describe the cascade of gene expression as cells differentiate, but turning them into a clear understanding of the underlying biology of a cell type's development remains challenging. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k9qj5Sx5g... (1/)

It’s been a though couple of weeks, but joining this place has felt like a breath of fresh air. Cherry on top of the cake: a visit from Narry Kim as part of NCI’s #RNAinitiative seminar series. An amazing talk by a giant in the #RNA field. What a treat!

Polycomb-bound regions form some of the strongest and most interesting focal interactions in the nucleus! But what happens when these regions become active and lose H3K27me3? Check the preprint below by the Kassis/Sun labs. 🪰🪰🎉🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know
