Achievement Unlocked! @huihuian521, our 1st PhD student’s 1st 1st-author paper! Out now in @MolecularCell 🧵
We identify the 1st m6Am Reader and uncover a novel and unexpected mechanistic role for this abundant yet enigmatic mRNA modification. (1)

The Center for Computational Systems Biology at Vanderbilt is conducting a search for junior faculty (s) in the field of computational biology. It is a great opportunity for young investigators to tap into relatively large human data resources here.

First preprint from the lab 🚨
How can enhancers regulate target promoters across vast genomic distances, and what is the role of cohesin loop extrusion in the process?

In this new preprint, we do a deep dive into the temporal relationship between DNA #methylation, #chromatin and #enhancers. Amazing work by first author @GuerinLindsey and thanks to our collaborators @IhrieLab, @KenLauLab, & biomodal. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The version for *posterity* is out @NAR_Open! Congrats to lead authors @AnaMonteagudo4 & @jrichardalbert, our friend/collaborator @DaanNoordermeer & engineer extraordinaire Margherita Scarpa! Findings largely intact, but short 🧵 on changes since preprint academic.oup.com/nar/advance…
🚨New Preprint🚨 In this study, we set out to determine how the de novo DNA methylation program impacts the 3D cis regulatory landscape. Comments welcome! Here's a thread detailing our study's key findings (1/12) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Congratulations Dr. @TJSScott on your successful defense and stellar presentation of your recently published work on DNAme patterns as cell histories rdcu.be/do1Ij

So happy to have my work officially published in @CellSystemsCP , where we use a new framework to understanding Small Cell Lung Cancer phenotypic identity and plasticity. Thanks to the many collaborators who made this work happen!
A shoutout to Sarah Maddox Groves, now PhD !!!, the mover and shaker behind this project. To me (VQ writing), there is an excellent chance this may stimulate rethinking of heterogeneity in Small Cell Lung Cancer, and other cancer types as well. /1 authors.elsevier.com/a/1fbcJ…
