New preprint from Shendure Lab on Locus-Scale aka Long-@$$ MPRAs led by the amazing Abby McGee & @carinabiar.bsky.social Most MPRAs test ~300 bp fragments next to a promoter. But real enhancers are bigger, act combinatorially and from a distance. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share my postdoc work, out on bioRxiv today! Histones package DNA into nucleosomes to form the building blocks of chromatin, but how modular and programmable is this system? 1/9

With funding cuts and whatnot going on… I want to say that my experience on the @ucsandiego.bsky.social T32 for Genetics with @bahome.bsky.social was VERY influential in my growth as a scientist 🧪🧬💻 and keeping me in bioinformatics during the early pandemic 🦠 (versus pivoting to Big Tech ✨👩🏽‍💻)

How do non-coding variants in enhancers lead to disease? Happy to share our recent work, led by @ewholling.bsky.social, in which we discovered that poised chromatin sensitizes enhancers to aberrant activation by non-coding mutations, contributing to disease. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

A pair of graphs I think about a lot. On the topic of pooled CRISPR screens, the left is "replicate correlation" when simply examining the abundance of guide RNAs, i.e. log-normalized read counts. On the right is taking those same data and subtracting from a common starting point, i.e. pDNA.

The success of AI applied to drug discovery is being decided by a number of clinical trials. So far, the results are lackluster. Why? For AI to have a transformational effect in drug discovery, training data must come from living mammals. (🧵1/9)
