Are you confused/intrigued about pioneer TFs? Interesting viewpoint discussion on pTFs by the leaders in the field: -What are pTF? -What do they do? -How to study pTF? -Can we classify pTFs? -Are they context dependent? -Does chromatin affect pTF activity? nature.com/articles/s41576-0…

It has been such fun working with @BSarah232 and the rest of the @BrayLabCam learning these powerful techniques. Check out the insights that can be gained by leveraging the distinctive salivary glands in Drosophila.
I'm proud to share our new pre-print! In the @BrayLabCam we've used Single Molecule tracking to study the dynamics of transcription factor CSL in #drosophila salivary glands. We show increased local exploration near targets in response to #Notch signaling! doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.10.5…

Excited that our work on the role of GAGA factor in repressing simple repeats is out now in @Dev_Cell. Great collaborative science with @Shelby_A_Blythe and @MustafaMir16 led by Marissa Gaskill (now Dr. Gaskill). cell.com/developmental-cell/….

Haven't been on the platform much recently, but getting to spend 6 months in the @BrayLabCam, learning about the exciting science and interacting with the amazing folks in the lab like @fjavierdha is worthy of posting! Check out some of what they have been up to.
Very excited to share our preprint describing dynamic modes of Notch transcription hubs, now available on bioRxiv! 📄 Thanks to all my colleagues and supervisor @BrayLabCam Check it out here: doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.10.5…
