Our paper all about the SWI/SNF complex and developmental enhancer regulation is up on bioRxiv! @DMcKay_Lab The SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeler constrains enhancer activity during Drosophila wing development biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeler constrains enhancer activity during Drosophila wing development

Chromatin remodeling is central to the dynamic changes in gene expression that drive cell fate determination. During development, the sets of enhancers that are accessible for use change globally as...

Our last student research talks of the 2020-21 year (and hopefully our last time on Zoom). Since this was a reverse alphabetical year it was up to Cyril Anyetei-Anum @CyrilAnum from @DMcKay_Lab to send us off in style.
