Ever wondered what drives enhancer-promoter specificity? Why would an enhancer activate one gene rather than another neighboring one? Check our latest preprint, led by

Promoter-proximal gatekeepers restrict pleiotropic enhancer inputs to achieve tissue specificity
Developmental enhancers are central regulatory elements that can activate multiple genes, yet how they selectively regulate one gene over its neighbours remains unclear. Using the Drosophila twist E3 ...

, Frances Clark, and Xihang Wang on this fun and beautiful story. We answered a question about the randomness of giant cell spacing that I have had for at least 15 years.

During my PhD, I realized the hardest moments weren’t the work itself, but the psychological challenges. We see lots of productivity tips, but PhD students aren’t machines - they're complex human beings. 🫂 Glad to see well-being in

Is giant cell patterning random in sepals and leaves? Check out our new work combining quantitative microscopy, computational methods and modeling, a great collaboration with the Roeder Lab, with F.Clark, G.Weissbart, X.Wang, A.Roeder and co-authors!
