📢 New preprint from the lab!
CRISPR-screening wizard 🧙 🧬 @TSchwammle figured out how different signals 🚦 are integrated at the Xist locus.

Together with PhD student @AlexandraMMar we wrote a News&Views @NatureGenet about the new paper📜 from @xielablife. A stunning data set on the 3D chromatin structure of the X chromosome in early embryos reveals unexpected large-scale structures: 🐭🧬🔺🔺nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
One of the X chromosomes in females is silenced with a microscopically distinct chromatin configuration. Happy to share our latest work on deciphering how the X chromosome folds during its inactivation for the first time in mouse female embryos!

Our new work is out today! Long time in the oven, this has been a really fun and informative collaboration led by Dhanur Iyer in my lab and @HK_Heidar from @NRivron lab. We show that human embryonic cells have an inherent potential to regulate their developmental timing.
Don't miss Daniela Cecalev @cecalev's review on "Compensation of gene dosage on the mammalian X" together with Beatriz Viçoso and myself, for a comprehensive look into X upregulation and inactivation! ⬆️⬇️

Stay tuned for more control systems coming soon...
It was a pleasure to write this review together with @nellykanata and Rachel Duffie @sneexish from the Lomvardas lab on the principles that govern monoallelic expression of olfactory receptors and Xist for @Dev_journal
Ever wondered how 3D chromatin rewires during differentiation? We wanted to understand this process better & distinguish if different processes or elements drive this rewiring. To do so, we used mESC=>NPC differentiation and focused on a single locus. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/17
Mary Lyon FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1925. Lyon was the discoverer of X-chromosome inactivation, which the genetic process that leads to coloration like tortoiseshell cats. Read more about her discoveries in a new @RSocPublishing biographical memoir: royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…
