This propaganda that H1B visas take something away from American workers makes me sick. H1B visa holders *create* jobs for people like me. Everything I've ever done as a scientist has been made possible by the international workers who trained me and collaborated with me.

Exciting new pre-print from our lab!
New preprint with @gfudenberg.bsky.social
We find the rate of cohesin loop extrusion in cells is set by NIPBL dosage and tunes many aspects of chromosome folding.
This provides a molecular basis for NIPBL haploinsufficiency in humans. 🧵👇

NIPBL dosage shapes genome folding by tuning the rate of cohesin loop extrusion
Cohesin loop extrusion is a major driver of chromosome folding, but how its dynamics are controlled to shape the genome remains elusive. Here we disentangle the contributions of the cohesin cofactors ...

(1/n) Excited to present the latest work from the de Wit lab, where we identify and characterise loop extrusion-mediated fountains in mammalian genomes using acute depletion of 3D genome regulators: doi.org/10.1093/nar/.... A Bluetorial🧵:
Extrusion fountains are restricted by WAPL-dependent cohesin release and CTCF barriers
Abstract. Interphase chromosomes are mainly shaped by loop extrusion and compartmentalisation mechanisms. However, their temporal component and cause-effec

The @keystonesymposia.bsky.social Chromatin Architecture/Transcription Regulation meeting has been fascinating so far! Catch my talk Tuesday (last slot before dinner) and my poster #2501 to learn about how cohesin regulates enhancers.
