I am excited to share our new work from @CreminsLab heterochromatin in fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorder. We previously described ectopic H3K9me3 domains in FXS, BREACHes, though the clinical significance is unexplored. 1/n
I'm excited to share our new publication in @CellGenomics! We examine the structure-function relationship between chromatin looping and RNA polymerase II-mediated gene expression during neural lineage commitment.
Check it out!

Howdy! I'm thrilled to introduce FISHnet, a computational tool designed to identify chromatin domains within sequential Oligopaints DNA FISH data.
Check it out on BioRxiv https://t.co/6Nn3DApYHr

🎉New paper🎉Introducing #StrandInteractions, the sequel to #LesionSegregation, published today @Nature
Strand-resolved mutagenicity of DNA damage and repair https://t.co/VTP3h139Q4
Here’s what we discovered about (a)symmetry in replication, transcription & #mutagenicNER

What are the functional roles of 3D genome organization? Our paper in @Nature led by @_prashantbhat demonstrates how dynamic 3D genome organization around nuclear speckles plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA splicing efficiency. https://t.co/8KwfJHQWTt
Last but most importantly, this work would not be possible without the generous dedication from all my generous colleagues @KRaanin,@ThomasMalachowski, @Ravi_boya9, @hanseul_ryu, @lindazh0u and surely my mentor @CreminsLab. A deep gratitude to @kristenbrennand & @FulcrumTx (6/6)
Excited to introduce MASTR-seq, Multiplexed Analysis of Short Tandem Repeats, a multi-modal method for accurate sequencing of short tandem repeat tracts and DNA methylation across multiple samples. Now on biorxiv(https://t.co/08goWSzTl0). (1/6)
Our approach is broadly applicable beyond STR detection to any somatic or germline genomic mutations, including transposons, indels, telomere and peri-centromeres. It can be easily performed by any researcher with access to nanopore MinION flow cell. (5/6)
Very inspired to have been involved in this very challenging but ultra exciting project since I joined @CreminsLab. The discovery of BREACHes let us understand the disease in a new way, but it’s just the beginning. The more is yet to come. Pls stay tuned. https://t.co/HN6QOQjMUZ
