Happy Holi! The festival of UMAP

We're so thrilled to finally share with you the published version of our CUT&Tag optimization and benchmarking paper "CUT&Tag recovers up to half of ENCODE ChIP-seq histone acetylation peaks" - out in Nature Communications today: nature.com/articles/s4146…

New preprint from our lab! Why is not everyone working on Transposons? Loss of H3K9me3 maintenance in human neural progenitor cells leads to transcriptional activation of L1 retrotransposons biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Only a couple of months left until our official QMUL Centre for Epigenetics Launch Conference! We will have an amazing list of guest speakers, including Bas Heijmans from Leiden University, Medical Centre,Netherlands. Book your free ticket now! eventbrite.co.uk/e/qmul-centre-…

Exciting news! Our latest work in the Nicola Iovino Lab, “Chromatin landscape at cis-regulatory elements orchestrates cell fate decisions in early embryogenesis,” is now published in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to see my postdoc work AdelmanLab on the Integrator (INT) now out Cell:We found that INT deficiency allows immature and unlicensed RNAPII to precociously enter genes. This immature RNAPII can transcribe short genes but terminates prematurely in long genes
