Congrats to @ViraatGoel James Jusuf et al. on new preprint in collab with @Irate_Physicist @blobelgroup @leonidmirny discovering transient microcompartments that connect enhancers and promoters in mitotic chromosomes: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

(1/n) From @ViraatGoel @Irate_Physicist et al. collab w @blobelgroup @leonidmirny biorxiv.org/content/10.110… RCMC at the M-to-G1 transition reveals strong microcompartments between CREs (E,P) in mitosis, that weaken upon G1 entry Sims reveal chromosome compaction as key regulator

Congrats to @ngaboreden @blobelgroup with RCMC contribution from @ViraatGoel @hansen_lab . Having recently worked on what we thought was a looping factor (ZNF143 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ) it was amazing to work on a strong Enh-Promoter looping factor LDB1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share my thesis work, now online at bioRxiv. We show that LDB1 organizes Enhancer-Promoter interaction networks and can function independently of cohesin! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Bittersweet to say goodbye to Christos last week - Thanks for 2 fantastic years and all the best for grad school at Columbia!

Check out Sarah's new review on bidirectional promoters: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share Sarah's new review on BiDirectional Promoters (BDPs). Sarah discusses 6 molecular mechanisms that may account for unique transcriptional properties of BDP with a focus on noise regulation and co-expression: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jI5c,LqArU0…

Check out @DomenicNarducci 's new preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and the companion preprint from @deWitLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

(1/14) Excited to share our new work on ZNF143/ZFP143 by @DomenicNarducci ZNF143 has been widely reported to be a general loop factor Instead we and @deWitLab in a companion preprint show that ZNF143 is a TF with no loop function: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
