🚨New preprint from the lab🚨 🧬 What keeps certain chromatin domains anchored at the nuclear periphery? Our new genome-wide HiDRO screen uncovers a key role for RNA-binding protein hnRNPK. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mechanistic and Epigenetic Partitioning of Lamina-Associated Chromatin Revealed by a Genome-Wide...

The nuclear periphery is a key site for heterochromatin organization in eukaryotic cells, where lamina-associated domains (LADs) promote transcriptional repression and genome stability. Despite their...

Excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv! Using cell-cycle dynamics and NIPBL depletion, we show that long-range enhancer interactions can form de novo without loop extrusion. Alternative mechanisms, including LDB1 and YY1, may play key roles.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cis-regulatory chromatin contacts form de novo in the absence of loop extrusion

NIPBL promotes chromatin loop extrusion by the cohesin complex until it stalls at convergently oriented CTCF sites, leading to the formation of structural loops. However, to what extent loop extrus...

It's my pleasure to present the next big preprint from SheqLab! An exciting application of our O-MAP platform that I hope will transform the study of nuclear architecture. If you've ever wanted to dissect the subnuclear "neighborhood" around an individual locus, read on! (1/30)

Happy to share work with Hadi, Yao & @Maxime_Tortora characterizing the impact of dynamic CTCF barriers for cohesin loop extrusion biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Dynamic barriers modulate cohesin positioning and genome folding at fixed occupancy

In mammalian interphase cells, genomes are folded by cohesin loop extrusion limited by directional CTCF barriers. This interplay leads to the enrichment of cohesin at barriers, isolation between...

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? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1)

Synergy between cis-regulatory elements can render cohesin dispensable for distal enhancer function

Enhancers are critical genetic elements controlling transcription from promoters, but the mechanisms by which they convey regulatory information across large genomic distances remain elusive. Here,...
