🧬🔍How can enhancers achieve tissue-specific activity?
We use MPRAs of synthetic enhancers to derive interpretable rules on TFBS arrangement 🚦 and discover that negative synergies drive specificity in hematopoiesis 🩸. Shoutout to @Robert Frömel & @larsplus.bsky.social for leading this work 🦹🦸.

Are you curious about how fast the genome of E.coli evolves structurally (gains, rearrangements...) ? 🧬

A summary thread [1/N]🧵
Quantifying the evolutionary dynamics of structure and content in closely-related E. coli genomes
Abstract. Bacterial genomes primarily diversify via gain, loss, and rearrangement of genetic material in their flexible accessory genome. Yet the dynamics
