❗️Excited to share our latest work published in @NatureSMB We profiled 3D enhancer networks in early developmental cell lines and created 3D-HiChAT to nominate functional enhancer-promoter contacts. https://t.co/cV1qJ7kitu ❗️

Thank you to my co-leads in this project @SalataAda and @appolyzos, @efapostolou29 for the mentorship and guidance, and our many collaborators including @artsinyc. Excited to be able to share this work!
Happy to share our new preprint, @efapostolou29 lab! We mapped 3D Enhancer-Promoter connections in mouse TSC, ESC and XEN Cells, and created a machine-learning model, 3D-HiChAT, that uses 1D and 3D features to predict gene expression, validated by CRISPRi. https://t.co/h5viB6gcOO
4/ Finally, we created a random forest machine-learning model, 3D-HiChAT, that uses 1D- (ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and 3D-information (H3K27ac HiChIP) to predict gene expression and nominate putative enhancers, which we validated by targeted CRISPRi.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My favorite American holiday! Special thanks to my incredible students Bobbie @bpelhamwebb and Dylan @djmurph93 for putting together this wonderful review during the pandemic. 3D chromatin in reprogramming and self-renewal. https://t.co/xBNSEQjVzM
Thrilled to share that our multi-PI U01 grant with Danwei Huangfu and Christina Leslie got awarded by @4DNucleome!!! #WomenInSTEM rock! Postdocs and students with passion in 3D chromatin, enhancer function and cell fate decisions are needed!!! Please contact me!
#WCM scientists have discovered how a key transcription factor protein called KLF4 helps “reprogram” skin cells into stem cells.

A heavily revised version of our manuscript for the role of KLF4 in the organization and regulation of 3D enhancer networks is now uploaded at BioRXV. Hopefully soon in press... https://t.co/DWCh9FwAWC
