Did you ever wonder how gene expression, once activated, it's maintained for a precise period of time before being decommissioned? Happy to present the final version of our manuscript on the discovery of regulatory trajectories, just published in Nat. Comms: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We recently reported that promoter competition can contribute to the robust insulation of gene regulatory domains (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).
We now offer a 4-years PhD contract to investigate whether the dirsuption of this regulatory mechanism can lead to congenital defects. More details 👇

Our work bridging enhancer-promoter proximity to phenotypic outcomes in vivo is out! Shout out to @olimpiabompadre.bsky.social, to Marie Kmita's lab, and to all the co-authors. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Liebenberg syndrome severity arises from variations in Pitx1 locus topology and proportion of ectopically transcribing cells - Nature Communications
Here the authors show that reducing enhancer-promoter distance at the Pitx1 locus increases proportion of Pitx1 forelimb expressing cells, worsening skeletal defects in Liebenberg syndrome. They also ...

The final chapter of my Pitx1 adventure is out! 1 simple question:”How do SVs that shorten enhancer-promoter distance affect limb development?” We find the impact on transcription, cell populations, epigenetics, and chromatin structure. A labour of joy with @guandrey.bsky.social & all co-authors.
