We are excited to release a single-cell and spatial 3D epigenomic atlas of developing human basal ganglia and inhibitory neurons, part of our BICAN effort in collaboration with @lab_paredes@jernst98@emukamel@CEpigenomics@bpasaniuc

Thanks to @ferhatay and Aly Khan, we’re excited to announce a new chapter for RECOMB-RSG 2026. After years with ISCB/DREAM, we are transitioning to an official RECOMB satellite meeting (May 25 in Thessaloniki). https://t.co/QQCRfUARec
We like to introduce map3C, developed by Joseph Galasso, that drastically improves the mapping and contact calling performance of snm3C-seq and now enables accurate 3D genome modeling. map3C was developed in collaboration with @jernst98 and Frank Alber https://t.co/h8jcF768fR

Will comparative biology crack the epigenetic code to longevity? New imputed DNA methylation dataset covers 59 tissues from 348 mammals including long living species such as bowhead whale (211 years), bats, and the naked mole rat. Which tissue holds the key to longevity? Which genes, CpGs, and genomic regions? Cutting-edge imputation applied to data from the Mammalian Methylation Consortium.

After many zoom meetings, discussions & learning from one another about different ways to look at the same data/problem, our perspective article on regulatory genomics is out. We have a “hallmarks of gene regulation” figure which i am planning to use in my talks. Enjoy reading!
