Numerous biotech innovations started with adapting a protein to its non-native context, which often requires substantial experimental optimizations. Here’s a breakdown by our lead, @Xiaowei0402, on a versatile, efficient computational framework to facilitate such adaptations.

Have you ever looked at a gene in IGV or a genome browser and wondered “What are all those (ATAC-seq/H3K27ac/CTCF ChIP-seq/…) peaks doing?” 🤔 I’m thrilled to share that we developed a new technology called Swap-seq to answer that exact question.

Excited to share some recent collaborative work between the Bintu and Ferrell labs investigating single-cell and population-level transcriptional response functions in minimal mammalian expression systems!

We used HT-recruit repeatedly to discover new protein domains involved in gene regulation and test many mutants. It can be used for domains associated with other functions (if you have a reporter). Now we published a detailed protocol on how to do it: nature.com/articles/s41596-0…
We hope this protocol is useful for people doing large scale protein function work! nature.com/articles/s41596-0…

So we beat on. Gene/cell therapies often use proteins that could be recognized/rejected as non-self by our immune system. We combine algorithms to build proteins that are therapeutically relevant and can masquerade as our own parts doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.24.6…

Incredibly excited that our paper linking single molecule states of TF binding to gene expression using quantitative thermodynamic models is out in Nature today. An amazing collaboration with the Bintu Lab. Congrats to Ben, Michaela, and Julia! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

🧬How do transcriptional cofactors recognize which genes to regulate?🧬 Check out our new preprint from @fordycelab @BintuLab that tackles this question and provides the first-ever quantitative map of disordered transcriptional protein interactions (1/9) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

(1/16) Check out our @SimonMJGaudin paper tiny.cc/icuazz from the Canzio lab out in @ScienceMagazine today on how tuning local cohesin trajectories enables differential readout of the clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) locus across different types of neurons.

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/10.1101/… So many follow-up projects!
Do human RNA-binding proteins have modular regulatory domains that downregulate RNA lifetimes? Our preprint @BintuLab studying this question is now out on bioRxiv, where we indeed identify small domains in RBPs that potently induce RNA degradation! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/9)
Our first RNA-centric preprint is online! Congratulations to @abbythurm and the whole team - we're so excited to continue learning about effector domains in RBPs, and to hear your thoughts about what could come next!

Finally, I would like to note that the NFZ TAD developed by @JoshTycko, @BintuLab , and Bassik lab (link below) works very well in the synZiFTR toolkit, AND it can be further boosted with our new enhancement. That's all for now -- please stay tuned! 4/n

It's a double feature on epigenetic memory today! Check another amazing new preprint on single-cell chromatin compaction and memory establishment from wizard postdoc @fjmrt!
New preprint! We studied how single-cell 3D chromatin structure changes under targeted epigenetic perturbations using multiplexed DNA FISH and synthetic biology tools, and found an intriguing relationship between chromatin compaction and epigenetic memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Huge thanks to @nickels_jan, @abbythurm, Connor Ludwig, @michaelathinks, @bella_arch, Jun Wan, and of course @BintuLacra for all the support during this project. We’re also grateful for an amazing collaboration with the Dong Fang lab and their chondroblastoma model! (9/9)
