The entire Bai lab attended @ASBMB Transcriptional Regulation. We were so excited to present posters and to hear Lucy give a talk!

[ASBMB @ASBMB]

Our meeting on transcriptional regulation is underway! Next up: a session on #chromatin, genome architecture and remodelers.

@TracyLangkilde Thank you!!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Out now in Molecular Cell! Along with Tan and Mahoney labs, we combine cellular, in vitro, and computational methods to understand how sequence features affect pioneer factor specificity (cofactors play a big role)

@ADhasarathy Thank you!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

This work was led by bai lab students Cheng Xu (now a postdoc with @JefBoeke) and @hekleinschmidt (grad student @BMB_PSU).

[Manuel Llinas @LlinasLab]

Very proud of this highly collaborative paper with the @mahonylab @RemoRohs and Gordân labs in which we explore how ApiAP2 transcription factors with similar DNA binding specificities define their target genes, a ubiquitous challenge in all cells! https://t.co/owPNOPPBD7?

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Check out our new Pioneer Factor review! We present both sides of the debate about whether pioneer factors have unique properties among TFs

Congratulations to the Bai lab's newest PhD Yi Li of @BMB_PSU! Yi's main thesis project was published today!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Check out our latest paper in @NatureComms where we develop a methylation-based sequencing assay to capture chromosomal interactions with a viewpoint

Bai lab PhD students James (@BMB_PSU) and Cheng (@huckinstitutes MCIBS) graduated yesterday! James has started as a biologist at @theNCI and Cheng is starting as a postdoc with @JefBoeke!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Check out our latest work in @eLife! This work, led by graduate student James (graduating Sunday) uses a range of techniques, including a new methylation-based method to dissect gene cluster in haploid yeast.

Cheng's primary work is available currently as a preprint. Be on the lookout for more great work as Cheng transitions to a post doc very soon!

Congratulations to the Bai lab's newest PhD, Cheng Xu!

[Manyu Du @manyu_du]

Excited to share my postdoctoral work is now online @CellCellPress thanks to all the coauthors that contributed to this work!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Congrats to the Bai lab's newest PhD! James passed his defense on Friday and is off to the NIH as a biologist!

[Bai Lab PSU @BaiLab_PSU]

Preprint now available: we investigated the binding specificity of pioneer factor FoxA1 by developing a high throughput synthetic approach ChIP-ISO.
