What an amazing assay. DAF-seq, the evolution of Fiber-seq from the Andrew Stergachis group, using the @pacbio.bsky.social platform: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This will revolutionise our understanding of transcriptional regulation and functional non-coding variants.

On behalf of @ckadoch.bsky.social and myself, we are pleased to present our upcoming @KeystoneSymposia, #KSEpigenetics26 Epigenetics and Gene Regulation in Health and Disease, March 2-5, in Geneva, Switzerland. keysym.us/KSEpigenetic...

Do not forget to apply to the FEBS Advanced Lecture Course: 6th Danube Conference on Epigenetics (19–22 October 2026, Budapest, Hungary. Will be a great meeting as always. Check out the site: network.febs.org/posts/febs-a...

Latest from our lab - great work from Dor...for those interested in #Mkrn3, #puberty, #reproduction, #chromatin, #transcription, #bioinformatics.

Great to see this from a former student in my NUS lab - Adrian @drainteo.bsky.social - looks like a good read.

We're so thrilled to finally share with you the published version of our CUT&Tag optimization and benchmarking paper "CUT&Tag recovers up to half of ENCODE ChIP-seq histone acetylation peaks" - out in @naturecomms.bsky.social today: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

our work on the molecular differences between transcription factor isoforms is out now in Molecular Cell! key point: 2/3rds of TF isos differ in properties like DNA binding & transcriptional activity many are "negative regulators" & misexpressed in cancer www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Two more weeks to send us your abstract! >20 abstract selected talks. Priority to junior scientists and cool biology on gene regulation (DNA/RNA/protein). Come to meet the world leaders in single molecule genomics and single molecule imaging! Help shaping the future of the field in the workshops!

We have 3 openings for ambitious postdocs or PhD students in our #CDlab - for exciting single-molecule biophysics research on nuclear pores, peroxisomes, or archaeal divisomes. Check it out and apply: ceesdekkerlab.nl/come-join-us/ RT=nice!

Fantastic study and collaboration led by stellar postdoc @ioansarr.bsky.social, it was a pleasure to host you in the lab (& thanks to @embo.org for the visiting fellowship)

How do replisomes walk on DNA? And what happens when they run into a G-quadruplex? @sahilbatra.bsky.social and @benallwein.bsky.social provide unexpected insight in our latest paper with Richard Hite @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... Congrats to all authors!
