Our new paper on epigenome editing is out! We mapped which effector domains regulate transcription across genomic, cell type and DNA-binding domain contexts. Then we built new gene repressor and activator tools with improved efficiency & deliverability nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

A special thanks to all the coauthors: @nickels_jan, @abbythurm, Connor Ludwig, @michaelathinks, @bella_arch, Jun Wan and my incredible advisor @BintuLacra for helping make the story what it is today. I'm also grateful for the collaboration with Dong Fang’s lab @ZJU_China (3/4)

Lastly, I would also like to give a shout out to Nate Hathaway’s lab @UNCPharmacy for writing a beautiful preview article elegantly describing our work. Please check it out here! : shorturl.at/hycOp (4/4)

I’m amped to share our new work to decrypt transcriptional repressors, now on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We paired deep mutational scans with machine learning to predict and even tune repressor activity. (1/8)

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)

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 I am so happy to share the first paper of my postdoc in @Mizuno_lab . Here we hope to summarize the cellular landscape of neurons thru the lens of #cryoET. Hope you enjoy. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ivnv…

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/…

And we're now online at Cell Systems! Check out the updated paper for some new analyses and overview figures that emphasize the impact of understanding transcriptional regulation by viral proteins. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
First publication of grad school now out! I was super lucky to get to work on this w/ Connor, and to bridge my experience in virology with new interests in human gene regulation 🧬
