Grateful for these Juan Fuxman Bass and BU Biology peeps! No better crew to run with 🙌

They tried so hard and got so far

This is bananas 🍌

Our latest paper is out today (with A. Xiyal Mukund Josh Tycko and many other talented trainees): High-throughput functional characterization of combinations of transcriptional activators and repressors, at Cell Systems cell.com/cell-systems/f…

Epstein-Barr virus evades restrictive host chromatin closure by subverting B cell activation and germinal center regulatory loci dlvr.it/SthbvG

It ain’t much, but I used all the color options on my multicolor pen - and that must count for something. I hope you like it plasmidsaurus!

3. long-awaited dino - we love to see a dino from twitter make it to our lab!

Now online! SARS-CoV-2 variants evolve convergent strategies to remodel the host response dlvr.it/SwRMmz

My biggest achievement in grad school thus far:

So incredibly proud of my undergraduate mentee Jordyn Choe who has the opportunity to present at this year’s BU UROP symposium!

We are very excited to see our paper published in Nature Communications led by the amazing Anna Berenson (Anna Berenson, Ph.D.)! We introduce paired yeast one-hybrid (pY1H) assays to study cooperativity and antagonism between transcription factors (TFs). nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/6

The first “Berenson et al.” is out in Nature Communications! Super proud of this work and thankful to all involved. 👩🏼‍🔬🧬

Excited to share our latest preprint on TF isoforms! Excellent tweetorial by Dr. Kaia Mattioli This is a large collaboration with the a Vidal, Bulyk, Sahni, and Salomonis labs and many other authors. The project was led by Luke Lambourne , Kaia, and Clarissa Stephanie Santoso

Viral cis-regulatory elements as sensors of cellular states and environmental cues dlvr.it/T7d7nS

Exited to share our recent review on viral elements and their role in sensing cellular and environmental cues!!! Great work by Jaice Rottenberg Tommy Taslim Luis F. Soto-Ugaldi Cami M and Lucia Martinez Cuesta

FREE to read at authors.elsevier.com/a/1jAo2cQbJBKyw till July 19th!

Take a look at this recently published study in LSA: A large-scale cancer-specific protein–DNA interaction network Juan Fuxman Bass Anna Berenson, Ph.D. Yunwei Lu Boston University hubs.ly/Q02GY1KD0

Got out of the nucleus! Tested ~30,000 tiles from human RNA-binding proteins, found lots of domains that downregulate RNA&built an inducible synthetic RNA-binding protein for keeping target RNA at constant intermediate levels: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… So many follow-up projects!
