⚠️ The final work of two former PhD students Till @tschwammle.bsky.social and Verena @verenamutzel.bsky.social is out!
➡️⬅️ They dissect how memory can arise from antisense transcription using mathematical modelling 💻, genomics 🧬 and synthetic biology ⚒️! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
My first @umasschan.bsky.social/@impvienna.bsky.social affiliated paper is up!
tomtom-lite is a re-implementation of tomtom targeting the ML age of genomics. Fast annotations ("what is this motif?") and simple large-scale discovery of motifs.
Check it out!

Using a CRISPR screening approach, first author @tschwammle.bsky.social identified new regulators of Xist, and discovered a two-step process that controls and regulates this important gene behind X-inactivation

Happy to share the 2nd part of my PhD @natsmb.nature.com!
Using CRISPR screens, we uncover the TF-RE wiring underlying Xist regulation. Since the preprint, we've added a titration of Xist, showing that XCI is directly dependent on Xist levels.

New online: Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis-regulatory and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus
@jengreitz.bsky.social l & my lab want to co-hire a computational biologist/biostatistician with project management expertise to help map the regulatory code of the human genome and discover genetic mechanisms of disease.

This is not a HiC map! Ever wondered if multiple enhancers get activated simultaneously? We measured chromatin accessibility on thousands of molecules by nanopore to create genome-wide co-accessibility maps. Proud of @mathias-boulanger.bsky.social @kasitc.bsky.social Biology in the thread👇

Excited to share our work on "Ab-trapping," an antibody artifact causing misleading peripheral ("rim") staining in imaging & genomics (IF, CUT&Tag, CUT&RUN). Antibodies fail to penetrate structures, accumulating at the periphery. A 🧵👇

Happy to share the latest story from @arnaudkr.bsky.social's lab @embl.org! With @guidobarzaghi.bsky.social, we used Single Molecule Footprinting to quantify how often chromatin is accessible at enhancers after TF and chromatin environment changes! Check our preprint bit.ly/3XQMFxN + thread ⬇️ 1/11
The importance of moving away from bulk! Occupancy of Pol II at promoters is dramatically different between fly and mouse cells! When looking single molecule! Proud of the team! @kasitc.bsky.social @molinalab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s443...
It’s official 🎉 I am excited to share that I will start my lab this spring at the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology and Epigenetics @mpi-ie.bsky.social in beautiful Freiburg 🤩🗻☀️ I am looking forward to new collaborations and working with the fantastic community in Freiburg & its surroundings!
A throwback to last month's 'Quantitative biology to molecular mechanisms' conference – time to introduce the poster prize winners! #EMBLOmics

I attended the ‘Quantitative Biology to Molecular Mechanisms’ conference at EMBL Heidelberg last week and had the incredible honor of winning one of the Poster Prizes! 🏆
A big thanks to the organizers and all the amazing speakers who shared their inspiring research with us. ✨
