Our preprint describing the Range Extender element, which is required and sufficient for long-range enhancer activation at the Shh locus, is out in @Nature. nature.com/articles/s4158…

How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by @gracecbower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

@evgenykvon @Nature Super excited to announce that my first-ever first-author paper is now officially published! 👩🏻🔬🎉🧬

How do non-coding variants in enhancers cause human disease?
Here, in my main PhD work with @evgenykvon, we uncover a surprising mechanism, with generalizable implications for human genomics. tinyurl.com/89tdkevu n/

The first story of my PhD out now in final published form, including new untested variants (see below)!

Our preprint is out nature.com/articles/s4146… In a new set of experiments, we screened a panel of rare and common variants from patients with Autism and identified variants in enhancers of OTX2 & Mir9-2 that reproducibly alter their activity in vivo! Huge congrats to @ewholling

Our genome-wide silencer screen revealed that silencers are different from your typical regulatory DNA element.

It was exciting to dig into all the new discoveries in long range gene regulation while writing this!
Evgeny Kvon@evgenykvon
In this review, @gracecbower & I discuss recent evidence showing that, unlike canonical enhancers, long-range enhancers located hundreds of kb from their target genes rely on additional mechanisms to ensure robust gene activation during mammal development sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How important is Enhancer—Promoter physical proximity for developmental gene activation? Happy to share our work led by postdoc Zhuoxin Chen @Czx17943830 where we systematically address this question in vivo. (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How to test the functional impact of noncoding variants in vivo? Happy to share our work led by @ewholling where we developed dual-enSERT, a new method that enables rapid, quantitative comparison of human enhancer variant activities in live mice. Check this Tweetorial for details
Ethan Hollingsworth@ewholling
Much of human disease-linked variation maps to regulatory regions. Yet, our ability to test the effects of these noncoding variants remains limited. In our new @biorxiv preprint, we asked if we could begin to chip away at this bottleneck: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

I’m overwhelmed by the support from the #devbio and #zebrafish communities. This trip has been really special. I met some of my science heroes (@CagneyElayna, @SolnicaKrezelL, @clawedfeet & @chrmosimann) and talked to a lot of amazing people. Tanks everyone ☺️ #2023SDB

Lots of new insights into Enhancer Biology! Special thanks to @aburger2009 for suggesting this awesome topic for an SDB satellite symposium and to all #2023SDB crew (@Lab_VPrince, Marsha, Laura and Ida) for helping with the logistics.

The #2023SDB Meeting will also kick off with the Satellite Symposium ‘Outside of Exomes: Enhancers in Development and Congenital Disease’ organized by @aburger2009 @evgenykvon kvonlab.org/sdbenhancer #2023SDBenh

(1/n) Excited to share preprint by @ViraatGoel @mileshuseyin
We develop Region-Capture Micro-C (RCMC)
By focusing on specific regions, we generate the deepest 3D genome maps thus far
We see coalescence of enhancer and promoters into “microcompartments”

Humans can be... well... a little self-absorbed... our DNA is the MOST SEQUENCED DNA EVER!
SO. MUCH. DATA.
But are we sooooo special?!? #Zoonomia 1/n
