Jamie Drayton and I were fortunate to contribute RCMC to this beautiful paper from Eder, Moene...van Steensel that systematically maps the relationship between enhancer location and gene expression (and nice to see RCMC predict expression in Fig 2H-I): science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Congratulations to Masahiro Nagano on his new paper on STAG3-cohesin. STAG3-cohesin has a much shorter residence time which leads to altered 3D genome organization and STAG3-cohesin is important for male germ cell differentiation. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Who's up at BATS? @VarshiniRam23 (@hansen_lab @Anders_S_Hansen): “3D Genomic Mapping Across Human Erythropoiesis” ow.ly/8NXO50WVNaB
Congratulations to Dr. Viraat Goel and Dr. Domenic Narducci, both new PhDs in Biological Engineering from the lab!
(1/13) Thread on @mazzocca_matteo @DomenicNarducci @SGrosseHolz @_jessematthias new preprint Q: how does chromatin move? Using MINFLUX, SPT & SRLCI, we track chromatin dynamics across 7 orders of magnitude in time to provide some answers biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
(1/n) New preprint from @claricehongky Fan Fang @VarshiniRam23 in collab w Jie Liu Q: How do we get ultra-high-res 3D genome maps? A: New deep learning model, Cleopatra. Cleo trains on Micro-C, fine-tunes on RCMC, and predicts genome-wide 3D maps biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mostly on BlåSky but excited to share James Jusuf's preprint: By integrating Micro-C with SuperRes Live-Imaging we perform absolute quantification of looping (e.g. this loop is present 3%). We quantify mESC 36k loops: <loops> are generally rare (2.3%). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our preprint by @DomenicNarducci and the companion preprint by @deWitLab are now out in @MolecularCell ZNF143 is not a general looping factor and was identified as such due to a non-specific antibody. Instead it is TF with the longest residence time measured (to our knowledge)

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…
