#ScienceSnack Researchers at the UKB and the University of Bonn have now identified genetic and non-genetic factors that help the body fight the Epstein-Barr virus. EBV can cause certain types of cancer or autoimmune diseases. www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/030-...

🖨️ Hot off the press 🍾 :
I am super excited to share that our article on the host control of persistent EBV infection has just been published in Nature Magazine, in an accelerated article preview version:

Our paper on the newest version of the Registry of candidate cis-Regulatory Elements (cCREs) is out 🧬
Huge thanks to the many collaborators, experimentalists, analysts and software developers who made this work possible — truly a team effort!
A "meme-torial" of the science is coming soon 👀
Woah just discovered this

This was only possible thanks to an amazing team, spearheaded by @axel-schmidt.bsky.social and supported by @evabeins.bsky.social, @madhusankhat.bsky.social, @davifri.bsky.social, @leofrach.bsky.social, @boztugk.bsky.social, plus others not on BlueSky.
In this study we use genome sequencing data from large population cohorts to identify factors that contribute to the viral load of EBV long time after primary infection. For more details, please also see the accompanying press release by @unibonn.bsky.social: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/030-...
