Following on from this amazing CoB workshop, we wrote a perspective on constructionist approaches to crack the cis-regulatory code.

All credit to @carldeboer.bsky.social who drove this, and never gave up on this piece.

I am fascinated by the sharp switch. It's not a gradual "we should start wrapping up", nope. It's like Cinderella's carriage turning into pumpkin but instead of midnight it's a ticking bomb.

We actually discussed that paper in journal club! I thought your approach of chromatin remodeling changing the landscape was very interesting. I have been meaning to think about this further but I'm starting to learn that unless I block my calendar, it'll never happen! Thanks for the reminder.
