BAF complexes maintain accessibility at stimulus-responsive chromatin and are required for transcriptional stimulus responses biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #biorxiv_genomic

📣Our paper is finally out!🤩 We found that local modification of H3K9me3 using CRISPR/dCas9 at hotspots changes crossover activity, bringing us closer to targeted recombination in plants.🌱 Huge thanks to @SzymanskaLejman, Wojtek, Ania, and Karolina!💪 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢 Postdoc position in plant chromatin biology 🌱 (Strasbourg). Apply before March 30 🔗 unistra.fr/fr/recrutement… #PlantBiology #Postdoc

AlphaGenome is out in @nature today along with model weights! 🧬 📄 Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… 💻 Weights: github.com/google-deepmin… Getting here wasn’t a straight path. We sat down @googledeepmind to discuss the story behind the model, paper & API: youtu.be/V8lhUqKqzUc

When polishing scientific figures for publication, I try to limit fonts + font sizes to reduce visual noise. But doing this by hand is tedious. So I vibe coded a web app to standardize text in SVGs: jef.works/SVG-Text-Stand… Try it out! Spot the differences. Hope it's helpful

The @ENCODE_NIH Phase 4 Registry of candidate cis regulatory elements (ccREs) (2.37 million human and 967,000 mouse cCREs) is officially out screen.wenglab.org nature.com/articles/s4158… Congrats to @MooreJillE @ZhipingWeng & everyone else. Lots more incoming ...

This is an excellent paper with an experimental design and bioinformatics analysis that are both worth learning from.
