Out on @MolecularCell ! We find that H3K36me2 predicts non-CG DNA methylation genome-wide via TAD-level H3K36me2 patterning and conversion to H3K36me3 in gene bodies. NSD1 mediates TAD-level H3K36me2, and NSD1 loss causes changes that overlap with DNMT3A-associated NDDs. A 🧵1/n
Check out our latest on how specialized neuronal DNA methylation and MeCP2 collaborate with unique long gene structures to help maintain diverse cell-type-specific transcriptomes in the brain!

(1/11) Check out our paper https://t.co/E9nK8NXq0b now out in @ScienceMagazine on the role of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in clustered Protocadherin expression and how that influences neural wiring patterns.
Paper Alert! A beautiful nature-vs-nurture brain plasticity story, out now in @NeuroCellPress, by Ori Roethler & Eran Zohar, 2 fantastic grad-studs in lab - huge congrats guys, stunning paper! >>1/16 https://t.co/v4NSQxA8eL
@mgnrowland@AVogelCiernia@UBCbiochemistry And for your binging pleasure, we've collated all 113 (and counting) of our recorded seminars into one convenient playlist: https://t.co/dIiEqO1WmN
How do subnuclear compartments relate to gene expression and 3D genome organization in single cells? Our new preprint presents two-layer DNA seqFISH+ imaging method to map over 100,000 genomic loci, 17,856 introns, mRNAs, and antibodies in single cells. https://t.co/dUmeXkAFjm

Huge thank you to all contributors and funding sources for making this project possible. And a special shoutout to @Gabel_Lab members and PI Harrison Gabel for the incredible support and mentorship. 11/n
These changes cause dysregulation in genes with critical function in the postnatal brain that strongly overlap with DNMT3A disorder models, suggesting etiological convergence for NDDs caused by mutation of genes involved in the establishment of the unique neuronal methylome. 10/n
