I'm excited to share graduate student @mdttrump97's fist preprint. He found a surprising similarity in untargeted CUT&Tag, BG4 CUT&Tag, and ATAC-seq enrichment. We plan to submit for review soon and would appreciate feedback.

Untargeted CUT&Tag and BG4 CUT&Tag are both enriched at G-quadruplexes and accessible chromatin https://t.co/XdU8hWXCLj #biorxiv_genomic

I’m super proud of my high school students from @ARMathSciArts and Chattanooga School for Arts and Science. They did a great job presenting their research today at the AR Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium!

[Byrd_lab @Byrd_lab]

Great opportunity!

Tommy was fun to have in the lab this summer and is a very entertaining presenter. I'm glad he got to share his work and excitement at @ARINBRE.

[UAMS Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @UAMS_Biochem]

Congratulations to the BCMB presenters at @ARINBRE . Tommy Caldarera (@Byrd_lab) gave an oral presentation. Anthony Carreira (Wayne Wahls), Daniella Perez Laguna (@MoldoveanuLab), Jeremiah Canady (@i_miousse), and Kate Jackson (Robert Eoff) presented posters. @uamscancer

We're excited to welcome Sean Taverna as the new Dean of the UAMS Graduate School and a Professor in the Biochemistry Department. @uamshealth @uamscancer @UAMSGradSchool

[Tim Green @tfgg2]

New! We’ve just put up a note evaluating the latest, in-development version of AlphaFold (“AlphaFold-latest”). This is a preview - development is still in progress - but performance across a wide range of tasks is striking.
