Funded PhD in my lab 🧬 Decoding DNA replication origins using genome language models (w/ Ke Li's group) — then engineering new ones. AI + nanopore sequencing + Biofoundry automation ⚙️ (w/ @cgrandel.bsky.social). We validate computationally AND experimentally. ⏰Deadline 30 Nov 2026. shorturl.at/6jYFP

How do genes communicate across long stretches of DNA? Join @leonidmirny (MIT) as he explores how rare cohesin bridges formed during loop extrusion may bring enhancers and promoters together—and reveals a new way CTCF can control these interactions! nyulangone.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #chromatin2026

My first solo review article is out! 🎉 Can KRAB-zinc finger genes and ERVs co-evolve not just in an antagonistic “arms race,” but also “arm-in-arm”? 🧬🤝🧬 Very excited to share this work and grateful to contribute to this TE-focused special issue @virusesmdpi.bsky.social! 😄 www.mdpi.com/4141652

Each human (resting CD4+ T) cell has about 2 meters of DNA crammed into the nucleus. Therefore, the challenge is not just storing DNA but folding it in a way that preserves function. rdcu.be/fsd7v
