My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

🎉 Excited to share the peer-reviewed version of our manuscript describing COBIND, a tool for revealing TF co-binding patterns using non-negative matrix factorization. Great work led by Ieva Rauluševičiūtė NCMM Nordic EMBL P'ship UiO - Det medisinske fakultet Universitetet i Oslo academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Nucleic Acids Res

Italy enters the conversation

The paper is now published on AJHG! Again, this was a huge effort from brilliant PhD student (now Dr. !) Sam Barnada, in collaboration with many, and especially with essential contribution from Lab E. Herrera. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My (favorite) project from my PhD is now live!! Huge shoutout to all co-authors for their contribution to this project and of course my advisors, Marco_Trizzino Lab and Steve! cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

Our paper about TE's regulatory functions using ENCODE data has been published! nature.com/articles/s4146… Ting Wang Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte We confirmed TEs contributed 25% of regulatory elements in the human genome. We also investigated how different TEs contributed differently. /1

Online now: Smarcd1 subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes collaborates with E2a to promote murine lymphoid specification dlvr.it/TCmN9D

It was a real pleasure to participante in this great story and collaborate with the Marco_Trizzino Lab lab to uncover another crucial function of Zic2.
