Investigating chromatin states in acute myeloid leukemia in mice and humans; Postdoc in the Childhood Leukemia Group at the Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel, Switzerland.
Congrats to the authors, these are very interesting findings!
Here is a copy of last year's Twitter thread explaining our preprint - jump to (21) for the new stuff 👀

Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function

now revised and journal accepted at www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our latest paper has just been published in Cell!

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

We developed a new method called MCC ultra, which allows 3D chromatin structure to be visualised with a 1 base pair pixel size.

Looks like a great couple of months of seminars! Come check out my talk on November 5th if you want to learn about our progress in mapping the nucleotide-resolved structure and function of cis-regulatory DNA elements across thousands of cell types and states.
We're super excited to announce the entire lineup for the Fall season of Fragile Nucleosome Seminars, starting on Sept 10th at 1200 EDT / 1600 UTC with @gracebower.bsky.social and @creminslab.bsky.social!

Our work on lineage tracing with somatic epimutations is finally out in @nature.com!

Check out the thread by @larsplus.bsky.social below.

EPI-clone is a revolutionary technique for lineage tracing and it will immediately impact how we trace clones everywhere.

Detailed protocols coming out soon!
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

Looking forward to hearing Friday's talk on Cambridge Chromatin Epigenetics Club!
Very happy to share the peer-reviewed version of our paper in which we study the formation and function of pair-wise and multi-way enhancer-promoter interactions in gene regulation (see thread below): www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New in STM, check out our integrative bulk & single-cell long-read analysis to discover and test new therapies in leukemia. We developed OncoSplice, to define new splicing defined subtypes and predict regulators. PRMT5 inhibition partially rescued mis-splicing & inhibited leukemic growth. More soon!
Splicing regulatory dynamics for precision analysis and treatment of heterogeneous leukemias
Broad dysregulated splicing in AML partially phenocopies splicing factor mutations, is prognostic, and can be pharmacologically reversed.

Great paper, congrats to the authors!
Excited to share Benson’s and Maria’s work in collab w/Kostas Tzelepis: we found the nucleolar protein NPM1 is a marker of AML and can be targeted therapeutically

Major breakthrough - very different from Chip technologies, single-cell mapping of protein:DNA interactions, which one can couple with other single-cell multiomics.
Excited to share a major breakthrough from the lab! D&D-seq is a new technology that bridges a key gap in single-cell multi-omics/genomics : the ability to map DNA:Protein interactions (e.g., TFs or chromatin remodellers). Led by Ivan Raimondi, Wei-Yu Chi and Sang-Ho Yoon
🧬 We’re excited to introduce D&D-seq, a single-cell technology that maps DNA:Protein interactions through molecular footprinting. Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Genomics #Epigenetics
