Great to talk in this format about fantastic thesis work by @tjmgibson. Check out the preprint:

Chromatin is a barrier to the binding of many transcription factors. By contrast, pioneer factors access nucleosomal targets and promote chromatin opening. Despite binding to target motifs in closed...

Science benefits from a dialogue so it was really fun to be a part of this conversation!.

It has been such fun working with @BSarah232 and the rest of the @BrayLabCam learning these powerful techniques. Check out the insights that can be gained by leveraging the distinctive salivary glands in Drosophila.
I'm proud to share our new pre-print! In the @BrayLabCam we've used Single Molecule tracking to study the dynamics of transcription factor CSL in #drosophila salivary glands. We show increased local exploration near targets in response to #Notch signaling!.

Excited that our work on the role of GAGA factor in repressing simple repeats is out now in @Dev_Cell. Great collaborative science with @Shelby_A_Blythe and @MustafaMir16 led by Marissa Gaskill (now Dr. Gaskill).

Haven't been on the platform much recently, but getting to spend 6 months in the @BrayLabCam, learning about the exciting science and interacting with the amazing folks in the lab like @fjavierdha is worthy of posting! Check out some of what they have been up to.
Very excited to share our preprint describing dynamic modes of Notch transcription hubs, now available on bioRxiv! 📄. Thanks to all my colleagues and supervisor @BrayLabCam. Check it out here:
