New Perspective w/ @petrovadmitri.bsky.social and Paul Schmidt! We ask what evolution-in-action studies tell us about an old question: what genetic variation matters for fitness, and what maintains it? ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

DNA replication globally disrupts the epigenome. But does this create a chromatin-access opportunity for TF binding to facilitate cell identity change? Now 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢-𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐂-𝐬𝐞𝐪 shows 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘰 chromatin opening & TF binding occurs specifically post-replication, in cellular differentiation & reprogramming!

New preprint! The same TFs can drive distinct regulatory programs depending on where they bind.
 TSS → rapid stress responses
 Intronic & upstream → cell-type programs
 Enhancer-like CRMs → embryo/meristem programs
 Coding-sequence binding → repression www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
