Ldb1 was discovered in flies as essential for long range enhancer-promoter (E-P) function, and subsequently for chromatin loops in mice & humans. Now with @babisgalouzis & Yacine - we find other roles for Ldb1, being essential for ZGA & recruitment of CBP to E & P

Thanks, Timothy, for remembering. ‪@timothyfuqua.bsky.social‬. Yes, it fits our data very well, looking at five developmental factors in embryos. The Hahn lab's nice paper now examines this at scale in yeast. The dual function of so many factors is very interesting
