Single-cell views of chromatin mapping🧬💻
Here for science, sparks, and fun-fact rabbit holes

We're thrilled to continue our deep dive into how chromatin mechanics govern how our genomes function with our A-team @andersshansen.bsky.social @Davide Michieletto, and @Sandra Tenreiro.

A huge thanks to the @dfg.de and @hfspo.bsky.social for supporting us.

Stay tuned! PhDs/Postdocs coming soon!
@drmrobson.bsky.social has won two grants from @dfg.de & @hfspo.bsky.social totaling over €2 million. He and his lab now work to decode the mechanics of #chromatin, hoping to finally define its physical state and better understand how it governs gene regulation

🚨 Preprint 🚨
Ever wondered how cells prepare their genomes to enable new cell-fates? In this team up with the Kind lab, we show that genes are repositioned in the nucleus to get ready for future activation and tissue formation. Read 🧵👇 to find out how and when this happens!

Reconfiguration of genome-lamina interactions marks the commissioning of limb cell-fates
Diverse forms of heterochromatin block inappropriate transcription and safeguard differentiation and cell identity. Yet, how and when heterochromatin is reconfigured to facilitate changes in cell-fate...
