Huge interest in our "Women Shaping STEM" event with group leader @julianeg.bsky.social – co-hosted with @cibss.bsky.social. Great insights into her personal journey and decision-making moving from Paris → Berlin → Freiburg, while climbing the career ladder from PhD to PI! 🪜 Thank you!

Have you ever wondered why developmental genes are often regulated by enhancers located at long distances? In this @natgenet.nature.com perspective, we speculate that long-range enhancer positioning may provide regulatory properties essential for proper gene expression www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A really cool preprint from Joanna Wysocka's lab showing that housekeeping genes use distal enhancers as dosage buffers against TF fluctuations, but only during critical cell fate transitions. Makes so much sense! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thank you @natgenet.nature.com for this nice Research Briefing www.nature.com/articles/s41... on our recent paper reporting live-cell measurements of Sox2 promoter bursting kinetics when varying its genomic distance from the SCR enhancer 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Next summer's Epigenetics GRC (I'm co-chairing with Deborah Bouch'is) is shaping up nicely with an all-star lineup of speakers working on a broad range of organisms and systems and everything from molecular mechanisms to new phenomena. Apply and put it on your calendar! www.grc.org/epigenetics-...
