🚨 Preprint alert 🚨
Excited to share our work on "Ab-trapping," an antibody artifact causing misleading peripheral ("rim") staining in imaging & genomics (IF, CUT&Tag, CUT&RUN). Antibodies fail to penetrate structures, accumulating at the periphery. A 🧵👇

Ab-trapping - a peripheral staining artifact in antibody-based microscopy and genomics
Antibodies (Ab) are essential for detecting specific epitopes in microscopy and genomics, but can produce artifacts leading to erroneous interpretations. Here, we characterize a novel artifact, Ab-tra...

In addition to coming here, we are planning our move away from Slack! Considering Discord or Zulip. Any pros/cons for either of those for us as a group working on open source software for biological data analysis?

Excited to share James Jusuf's preprint:

By integrating Micro-C with SuperRes Live-Imaging we can calibrate genomics&imaging to perform absolute quantification of looping (e.g. this loop is present 3%)

We quantify mESC 36k loops: are generally rare (2.3%)

Do you have a new and exciting chromatin/transcription story that you'd like to share with an enthusiastic audience?

If so, you should apply to give a talk in the 2025 Fragile Nucleosome seminar series: forms.gle/fwMYPFDf4az3...!

We're open to scientists at all stages of their careers!
Application to speak in the Fragile Nucleosome series
Thank you for your interest in our seminar series! We use a variety of different session formats but, in general, trainees can plan for a ~15 min talk + 5min Q/A and PIs can plan for a ~25min talk +...

Closing 2024 with a review! Excited to share the latest (short) review from our lab, written by amazing Ramani/Narlikar lab grad student Aaron Corin in collaboration with @elphegenoralab.bsky.social! We focus on CTCF's myriad functions beyond regulating loop extrusion; tons to dig into!
Beyond genomic weaving: molecular roles for CTCF outside cohesin loop extrusion
CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a key regulator of 3D genome organization and transcriptional activity. Beyond its well-characterized role in facilitat…
