Genetics faculty @ Yale: genetics, genomics, chromatin, reproduction, and evolution. Or really, just trying to see where the next result takes us.
Yes I did try that! It did not find the same gaps again (I guess we successfully addressed them), but did find new ones - maybe similar to some human reviewers. So some human judgment about the centrality of the gaps is still important.

And please also check out this excellent complementary study from @namekawasatoshi.bsky.social. Using a slightly earlier KO model, they find that Smarca5 is also required in spermatogonia to prepare retinoic acid receptor binding sites: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The SMARCA5-DMRT1 Pioneer Complex Establishes Epigenetic Priming to Direct Male Germline Development
The establishment of cell type-specific chromatin landscapes is essential for cellular identity, but how these landscapes are generated remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the chromat...

Yes definitely! We looked at density very superficially (ATAC). Will be interesting to look more closely
