🧬🔍How can enhancers achieve tissue-specific activity?
We use MPRAs of synthetic enhancers to derive interpretable rules on TFBS arrangement 🚦 and discover that negative synergies drive specificity in hematopoiesis 🩸. Shoutout to @Robert Frömel & @larsplus.bsky.social for leading this work 🦹🦸.

Researchers from the @crg.eu, the @irbbarcelona.org, and the DKFZ have discovered that the reservoir of blood stem cells shrinks with #age. It becomes increasingly dominated by stem cells that produce pro-inflammatory immune cells.

How aging changes the blood system in humans and mice
The reservoir of blood stem cells shrinks with age. It becomes increasingly dominated by stem cells that produce immune cells associated with chronic inflammation. Almost all of the 60-year-olds studi...

Out @nature.com: Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations

🧬 Single cell methylome encodes cell state & clonal identity

🔨 EPI-Clone reads out both (+mutations, +RNA) at scale

🩸 Clonal expansions of HSCs are universal from age 50, not driven by CH mutations

Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations reveals dynamics of blood ageing - Nature
The discovery that DNA methylation of different CpG sites can serve as digital barcodes of clonal identity led to the development of EPI-Clone, an algorithm that enables single-cell lineage tracing th...
