Interested in 3D epigenomics? Join this #hackathon organized by 4DNucleome students and postdocs, w/ projects from the groups of William Stafford Noble, Yun Li, Dariusz Plewczynski, Yin Shen, LomvardasLab, Geoff Fudenberg, Christina Leslie, Katie Pollard, and me. March 18-21, 2024 in Seattle University of Washington










New ENCODE Project preprint from the lab! Through CRISPR screens, we identify functional enhancers for neuropsychiatric disease risk genes in iPSC-derived neurons. We revealed an exciting allelic compensation effect (ACE) on transcription for the dosage-sensitive gene SIN3A.

Join us on Nov 18 at UC San Francisco for the QBI Chromatin Symposium, led by Drs. Vijay Ramani & Yin Shen. This event will showcase the latest in chromatin regulation, from bench to bedside. We look forward to seeing you there next week! Register now: qbi.ucsf.edu/qbi-chromatin-…



In collaboration with Reuben Saunders, Jonathan Weissman's Lab, and Xiaowei Zhuang, we are very excited to release Perturb-Multi: a platform for pooled multimodal genetic screens in intact mammalian tissue. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Our latest research on human accelerated regions has just been published with Springer Nature rdcu.be/ebo7a. Congratulations to Xiekui Cui Han Yang and the team! In this study, we characterize genome variants to function through the lens of evolution.

How did we evolve brains capable of learning and complex language? Institute for Human Genetics at UCSF found that parts of our DNA evolved at hyperspeed, making our brains more complex than apes’, but possibly raising the risk of human brain disorders. tiny.ucsf.edu/ZySms3

Excited to see our work on HARs highlighted by Trends in Genetics—appreciate the feature!
