Interested in the biology of time? The latest Voices article in @Dev_Cell presents researcher's key quests in this area. For @t_rayon and her lab it's cracking the molecular tick-tock code ⤵️

[Jamie Hackett @hackettlab]

How do chromatin modifications quantitatively impact gene expression?

How do sequence variants or combinatorial marks influence relationships?

We developed a modular #EpigenomeEditing toolkit to systematically test these Q, published today 🧵…
