New preprint alert! Together with Tetsuya Yamamoto at Hokkaido University, we propose a “polymer micelle” model of transcriptional bursting. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
www.nature.com/articles/s41... - from @igorulitsky.bsky.social - "most chromatin regions reported as bound by trans-acting RNAs in recent studies in mammalian cells appear to be technical artifacts"
Now it's @jpkreysing.bsky.social 's turn! 🎓🎉
Congratulations Jan Philipp on defending your PhD thesis, "Capturing Functional States in Situ with Cryo-Electron Tomography" in the @becklab.bsky.social lab!
We're very excited to see more IMPRS-CBP #PhDs graduate🎓✨

'Scientific advancement depends on freedom, openness, and truth - the very values fascism eventually destroys. Our collective response will shape the future.'
📣 Preprint alert! We developed a method to analyze concurrent interactions between multiple chromatin regions at single alleles at sub-nucleosome resolution (multi-way Micro-Capture-C, mwMCC) & used this to study structural synergy within super-enhancers. 1/14

🚨 1/5 Check out the 2nd preprint from our lab on how IRES-mediated translation of synthetic circRNAs is employed in cells and in cell-free translation extracts, a highly collaborative effort with @immagina.bsky.social & the labs of @andershlund.bsky.social and CK Chen www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Many long noncoding RNA–DNA binding peaks detected using common assays arise from technical artifacts.
