Online Now: A genome-wide screen identifies silencers with distinct chromatin properties and mechanisms of repression dlvr.it/TGHjyy

Beyond happy to share the most exciting findings of my PhD research in the StarkLab. 🤩 tinyurl.com/k6rbxjwn Our genome-wide silencer screen revealed that silencers are different from your typical regulatory DNA element. Find out more below 👇 (1/9)

In this review, Grace Bower & I discuss recent evidence showing that, unlike canonical enhancers, long-range enhancers located hundreds of kb from their target genes rely on additional mechanisms to ensure robust gene activation during mammal development sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#Immunotherapy has transformed #cancer treatment, but some cancers evade immune defenses, causing resistance. Anna Obenauf's lab has discovered how inflammatory monocytes—a type of immune cell—can reactivate cancer-killing T cells within tumors. Read more: imp.ac.at/news/article/a…

🆕 publication! 🧬 How do enhancers, located far away in the genome, communicate with their target genes? In Molecular Cell, the lab of @chribue shows how different enhancers cooperate to drive gene expression using a novel synthetic platform ➡️ tinyurl.com/yckubbjb

"Everything in epigenetics is circular". Here, we explore how memory stored locally on chromatin has a crucial role in stabilising cellular state, updating our view of the epigenetic landscape from one shaped by the genotype, to one moulded by experience doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

Ledidi turns any genomics ML model into a controllable sequence designer by inverting the normal ML paradigm. Now, it is significantly faster, flexible, and more powerful than before. Available on GitHub and installable with `pip install ledidi`
