Yes - that was a lovely event in honor of Maria Leptin. Maria made many important contributions to the field of developmental biology, was the previous director of @embo, and is now the president of European Research Council (ERC), an essential funding body for blue skies basic research in Europe

This should be a really interesting discussion between Jacob (Yaqub) Hanna - ŁŠŲ¹Ł‚ŁˆŲØ حنا and Ben Hurlbut- Wednesday evening at Alte Aula, Heidelberg Univ. Thank you both so much for taking the time to come to Heidelberg to discuss this important topic

This should be a very exciting meeting - organised by the single cell genomics center in Heidelberg SingleCellHD, which brings together scientists from @EMBL, Uni Heidelberg, Famous. Five external speakers doing cutting edge research in #single_cell genomics.

Exciting times #AI & genomics, gene prediction field, great collab with StarkLab. Using transfer deep learning to make completely synthetic enhancers with predicted activity (tissue and stage in embryos). Check out the back-to-back complementary lovely paper from @steinaerts

Congratulations to @Ralf_Gilsbach team on developing such a really useful method. A great example of the value of @DFG funded CRC network grants. Without the CRC1550 Ralf and I would not have connected (across different institutes) to share the technologies to make this happen

Thanks Daniel, great N&Vs. You summed up both papers perfectly. One Q you asked ā€˜ could E-P loops be regulated by insulator proteins?’ We looked at this. Changes in insulator binding at loop anchors doesn’t explain the majority of gains in E/P loops during tissue differentiation

Don't miss the deadline, this coming Monday (June 3rd) to submit an abstract for the Transcription & Chromatin meeting EMBL. 50% of speakers are selected from the abstracts. This is always a very lively conference, on site EMBL Heidelberg Check out the great line up of speakers

Last chance to register for the EMBL Transcription and Chromatin meeting. You can still submit a poster – Deadline is Monday July 15th. Here are just a few of the fantastic speakers from around the world embl.org/about/info/cou…

Nice - cohesin may only be required for enhancer-promoter comm for distal enhancers (>50kb). This nicely extends (and generalises) findings from Wendy Bickmore at shh locus, tethering a TF at different distances. There 100kb was the tested cut off - interesting to see even 50kb
