We are so happy that Michael Cheng, a former undergraduate researcher in the lab and now a bioinformatics graduate student at @UCLA , will be defending his thesis this week (Wednesday at 1 pm; in person and on zoom). All the best, Michael!
🆕🎧 New Podcast: The founding of PG is discussed in interviews with Drs. AW Cowley, Jr., B Joe, and HA Coller. These interviews were organized and conducted by @AkinolaTosinS.

Years ago we tried to model cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subtypes in vitro, but gave up because only the proliferative subtype survived culture (duh!). This study could change all that: Perturb-seq with CRISPRa of 1,836 TFs induces diverse fibroblast states in vitro(!). 👏
Why does the naked mole rat have the longest lifespan and healthspan of any rodent, nearly 40 years?
A 30-year long mystery unraveled @ScienceMagazine today!
Its cGAS enzyme in cells has 4 missense mutations that upends its function, promoting DNA repair and suppressing inflammation

Dr. Hilary Coller (@CollerLab) discussed her latest research on how epigenetic patterns can predict cancer outcomes more accurately than traditional markers. Her pan-cancer model reveals targetable epifactors across five tumor types.

In this review for our focus issue on patterns in molecular biology, @LuLaboratory explores how metabolites and metabolic enzymes regulate chromatin and histone modification patterns, highlighting the crosstalk between the metabolome and the epigenome.

CTCF stall DNA 🧬 loop ➰ extrusion by cohesin - but exactly how it pulls this off is a 'mechanistic mystery' (to cite
@Anders_S_Hansen , Nucleus, 2020). We just preprinted 📜 a new study @biorxivpreprint that provides some answers to this enigma: tinyurl.com/3r2a4ux2
Our new review on "Transcription factor networks in cellular quiescence" is now published in @NatureCellBio. Thanks to the reviewers and the editor for the great suggestions and comments. Read here: rdcu.be/d5JFqnature.com/articles/s41556-0…
