I'm excited that my first graduate student, @thompsonlab-lyon.bsky.social, is now Dr. Matthew Thompson! He's had a busy week with a first author paper accepted and his dissertation defense. Starting this fall, Dr. Thompson will be an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Lyon College.

We're excited to be able to have summer students in the lab this year. Welcome to Zaryah Smith (Emory University), Carmella Lewis (University of Arkansas), and Luis Vidal (Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts).

I'm excited to share graduate student Matthew Thompson's first preprint. He found a surprising similarity in untargeted CUT&Tag, BG4 CUT&Tag, and ATAC-seq enrichment. We plan to submit for review soon and would appreciate feedback.

Untargeted CUT&Tag and BG4 CUT&Tag are both enriched at G-quadruplexes and accessible chromatin
G-quadruplex DNA structures (G4s) form within single-stranded DNA in nucleosome-free chromatin. As G4s modulate gene expression and genomic stability, genome-wide mapping of G4s has generated strong r...
