📣 I hereby make my Bluesky debut to announce that our work linking DNA binding affinities and kinetics 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰 and 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘰 for the human transcription factor KLF1 just got published in Cell! @cp-cell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... Key findings in a thread (1/6):

Bah, who needs cohesin if you're at the right place (near). Grover once taught us the difference between near and far (my favourite Sesame Street piece), and now amazing work from @elphegenoralab.bsky.social led by @karissalhansen.bsky.social shows us how: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Looking for some Thanksgiving reading? 🦃🦃🦃 🚨Check out our new preprint on CRISPore-seq!🚨 Combining pooled CRISPR perturbations with single-cell sequencing has been tremendously powerful... but we are missing a lot with current approaches like Perturb-seq and ECCITE-seq.

Many people hours, calls and messages later: OSTA is now “in (pre)print”, though the real thing lives at bioconductor.org/books/OSTA. Check it out, get in touch. We welcome any feedback, suggestions, wishes (& contributions). It’s been a joy working with you @estellayixingdong.bsky.social!

I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵

We are excited to announce our most recent preprint “Single-cell long-read sequencing of the experience-induced transcriptome” (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...) led by @sheridan in collaboration with Richard Huganir. A few highlights:

To probe gene-scale chromatin physics, we built 96-mer (20 kb) arrays with defined histone marks. Combining single-molecule tracking, AFM imaging, and developing in vitro Hi-C, we saw how specific modifications dictate chromatin structure and dynamics. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to share our cross-disorder GWAS analysis of neurological and psychiatric disorders (~1 M cases), now out in @natneuro.nature.com! We show more extensive genetic pleiotropy than previously recognized, supporting a more unified view of these disorders rdcu.be/ePmwD

So excited for upcoming #SfN25 🧠! I will be giving a talk during a nanosymposium all about using iPSC-derived models for studying neuronal function! Please stop by and check all the amazing talks for this session! @sfn.org

Our latest paper has just been published in Cell! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

one of the most gratifying things is to see past lab members make new discoveries! our former star PhD @brianjjoseph.bsky.social honed his skills on neural gene regulation and splicing in our lab. check out his new paper @natneuro.nature.com on ALS/FTD mis-splicing driving neural hyperexcitability!

New study of 800K+ genomes from gnomAD reveals most “pathogenic” variants in healthy people aren’t truly disease-tolerant. They are explained by annotation errors, mosaicism, or compensatory variants. 🧬 A big step for precision medicine! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share our latest preprint using single nuq sequencing and Xenium to define neuron organisation and sex differences in glia within human spinal cord. Truly a collaborative effort, with a big shoutout to Katherin Gabriel and @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Got with the times + made a BSky to share our new, large-scale spatial RNAseq study of adult human #locuscoeruleus! Co-1st auth and cryostat wizard @heenadivecha.bsky.social squeezed 85 tissue sections into 43 Visium arrays. (1/8) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share our latest work led by @kevincziegler.bsky.social and Aydan Askarova, examining cell type contributions of vascular cell types to dementia risk. Many thanks to the donors, and for support from @ukdri.ac.uk and @alzassociation.bsky.social. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

This is such an interesting paper. Why? Because the binding of transcription factor (TF) proteins to DNA governs how our genes are turned on/off/up/down, & so is the primary issue for how our genes work in development and how our cells respond to just about anything.🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new, nerdy paper. We figured out (some) of the rules underlying cell-permeability of probes and designed ligands that light up, grab, and move proteins around. Awesome @hhmijanelia.bsky.social x @uwmadison.bsky.social x @stjuderesearch.bsky.social collaboration! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Excited to share our new preprint on molecular gene x treatment interactions led by Jordan Valone, Brandon Le, and @nanamatoba.bsky.social. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1.... Here, we tried to further develop the "pharmacogenomics in a dish" approach for psychiatry.

Thank you Alzforum for featuring our new preprint identifying regulators of disease states of #microglia. Project led by Amanda McQuade, computation by Reet Mishra, collaboration with the Nunez and De Jager labs. Alzforum www.alzforum.org/news/researc... Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This article is a homecoming for me. As a PhD student, I focused on the growth-rate transcriptional regulation in yeast. Now, ~ 20 years later, we report protein regulation scaling with the growth rates of single cells in mammalian tissues. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our paper on dynamics of microcompartments during M-to-G1 is now published in @natsmb.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Compared to biorxiv, published includes new analysis from James Jusuf and Viraat Goel (from @andersshansen.bsky.social lab) on transcriptional spiking

A few programming notes for #ashg25 from trainees in my group @mdanderson.bsky.social + a thread of me being a proud PI. Please drop by these sessions and talk to @taylorhead.bsky.social, @seantbres.bsky.social , @ytchang11.bsky.social, and me in Boston @geneticssociety.bsky.social next week!

Remember this paper "Low overlap of transcription factor DNA binding and regulatory targets" ? (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) well, well, well 🍿 ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

DNA methylation is one of the most studied epigenetic modification associated with regulation of gene expression. Bisulfite-converted genomic DNA sequencing has been the current gold standard in the field for building genome-wide DNAm maps at base pair resolution.

Looking forward to presenting duoNovo at ASHG this week. We use long-read sequencing to detect de novo variants without having to sequence both parents. It's conceptually straightforward, and performs very accurately among variants likely to be clinically relevant. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
