(1/4) Thrilled to announce another major release of the HOCOMOCO motif collection, well-known for its silly name and rigorous approach to constructing and benchmarking DNA sequence motifs recognized by human and mouse transcription factors.

(1/15) Yet another sweet bioinformatics "software+database" couple from our team:
Meet MIXALIME, a framework for assessing allelic imbalance, and UDACHA, a database of allele-specific chromatin accessibility, read more at www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The first preprint of 2025! Together with Matvei, @halfacrocodile.bsky.social, & our amazing team, we are excited to share PARADE: an AI framework for designing mRNA UTRs with enhanced cell-type specificity & stability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A generative framework for enhanced cell-type specificity in rationally designed mRNAs
mRNA delivery offers new opportunities for disease treatment by directing cells to produce therapeutic proteins. However, designing highly stable mRNAs with programmable cell type-specificity remains ...

(1/7) Thrilled to reveal the results of the Codebook Project, an international effort to identify accurate DNA-binding motifs and genomic binding loci for the >300 uncharacterized human transcription factors (TFs) doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Perspectives on Codebook: sequence specificity of uncharacterized human transcription factors
We describe an effort (“Codebook”) to determine the sequence specificity of 332 putative and largely uncharacterized human transcription factors (TFs), as well as 61 control TFs. Nearly 5,000 independ...

(1/8) 🚀 Excited to share our findings on a large-scale ChIP-seq assay for 166 previously uncharacterized human transcription factors (TFs) and their roles in both regulatory regions, and more strikingly, the “dark matter” genome. 🌌 doi.org/10.1101/2024....
Extensive binding of uncharacterized human transcription factors to genomic dark matter
Most of the human genome is thought to be non-functional, and includes large segments often referred to as “dark matter” DNA. The genome also encodes hundreds of putative and poorly characterized tran...
