We are very excited to present a major breakthrough achievement – the de novo design of synthetic enhancers for selected tissues in fruit fly embryos in vivo using deep- and transfer learning, @deAlmeida_BPet al published today in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. Thread 👇(1/N)

See also the related and complementary work by @ibrahimihsan @steinaerts (@VIBlifesciences) in fly brains nature.com/articles/s41586-0… – together, these publications are the first to read & write enhancer DNA in vivo. (9/N)

Cracking the 2nd code of life has been a major goal of @AlexanderStark8 and the @stark_lab since their start at the @IMPvienna @ViennaBioCenter in 2008. Big thanks to all members and collaborators, especially @deAlmeida_BP & @Eileen_Furlong who made this possible! (fin)

Transcription pre-initiation complex formation & composition is not as uniform as we thought: @stark_lab @IMPvienna finds distinct PICs acting at housekeeping vs. developmentally-regulated promoters in Drosophila cells #RefereedPreprint via @ReviewCommons embopress.org/doi/10.15252/e…

🚨 Research paper alert! Functionally distinct #promoter classes initiate transcription via different mechanisms, according to @LeoSerebreni from the @stark_lab & co-authors. Read more in our interview with him. 👇🏽 1/3 imp.ac.at/news/article/custo…

The @stark_lab investigates how transcription is regulated at the enhancer and core-promoter DNA level & the proteins involved in activation. Their aim is to comprehend transcription, how it defines cellular and developmental programs via transcriptional networks. @IMPvienna
