🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town. Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag. 🔗 Our @natcomms.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵Let’s break down what makes DynaTag so powerful (1/7)

Yadav, Jadhav, @hanasedlackova.bsky.social et al present a novel cell-permeable biotin-HaloTag ligand. The reported ligand expands the HaloTag toolbox by enabling in vivo labeling & providing capabilities for efficient affinity capture of protein variants from live cells rupress.org/jcb/article/...

🔥New Night Science paper!! Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Don't forget that in this crisis, we scientists have two equal responsibilities 1. To stand up for science, for continued government funding & 2. To support the next generation of scientists, ensuring they're trained to sustain the future. Without the second we may win the battle but lose the war.

And the thing is, it's not even surprising. Terrifying how quickly America has ceased to be a functioning democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Yet, far from acting in courageous defiance, many scientists and administrators now seem to think that the best response to the war on DEI is to keep their heads low and wait out four hard years.” Hell yes, Art Caplan. More courageous defiance, less quiet cowardice. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
