Very happy w/ our new work, excellently conceived & led by Judith Kribelbauer (new Faculty at USC starting Jan 2025!), uncovering a 'new' TF class: 'context TFs' that boost local enhancer activity and mediate enhancer-enhancer communication, forming ‘chromatin modules’. For details, t.co/Nk6DBD4CGk
