Years ago, @arnausebe.bsky.social gave talk that prompted us to discuss on #3DGenomics and #Evolution. I offered we could help. Next, @ianakim.bsky.social came to the rescue 😁.
The results are out today at Nature, including support from @encent.bsky.social.
Iana explains what she did here 👇🏻🎉👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

I’m very excited to share our work on the early evolution of animal regulatory genome architecture - the main project of my postdoc, carried out across two wonderful and inspirational labs of @arnausebe.bsky.social and @mamartirenom.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Chromatin loops are an ancestral hallmark of the animal regulatory genome - Nature
The physical organization of the genome in non-bilaterian animals and their closest unicellular relatives is characterized; comparative analysis shows chromatin looping is a conserved feature of ...

Is chromatin ordered or disordered? It all depends on the linker DNA length.
Check our latest work with Mike Rosen and Sy Redding. We explore how changes in linker DNA length (as small as 1 bp) fine-tune chromatin structure, between order and disorder, and the properties of chromatin droplets
