We had some fun with photo-physics this Halloween. See if you can figure out some of our (very) interpretative demonstrations of (FRET, photoconversion, &, localization microscopy). Happy Halloween!🤓🎃

Thanks to all in the community who gave constructive feedback. We have updated our pre-print including new imaging in additional mutants & genomics analysis. Open science and community peer review FTW in helping us strengthen our findings:
biorxiv.org
Eukaryotic gene regulation relies on the binding of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). TFs bind chromatin transiently yet occupy their target sites by forming high-local concentration...
1/n) Excited to share our new preprint: Using high-res live embryo imaging we show that transcription factor hubs are localized to new genes when specific DNA binding is perturbed. Hub interaction kinetics at these new sites determine factor occupancy:

Today we said farewell to our summer student Carmine Picone with some robot served ice cream. He learned molecular bio fundamentals & generated a library of fluorescent protein fusions under the excellent mentorship of @FruitFlyFischer. Great to see so much growth in 6 weeks!
